Job Summary:

As a Leadership Geologist, you will leverage over a decade of geological expertise to lead resource evaluation, exploration planning, and subsurface modelling for the organization. You will manage complex geological projects, mentor junior geologists, and provide critical strategic insights to senior management, guiding decision-making on exploration, resource acquisition, and operational efficiency. Your role will involve the integration of geological, geophysical, and geochemical data to optimize the company's resource development strategy and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Geological Leadership & Strategy:
• Lead and coordinate the geological team in the development and execution of exploration and resource evaluation strategies.
• Provide geological leadership in the preparation of long-term resource development plans, guiding exploration programs, and ensuring alignment with corporate objectives.
• Contribute to business development and corporate strategy by identifying and evaluating potential new projects, acquisitions, and resource opportunities.
• Collaborate closely with senior management, other departments, and external stakeholders to communicate the geological implications of resource development, exploration risks, and project feasibility.
• Geophysical and Geochemical Data Integration:
• Lead the interpretation of geophysical survey data (e.g., seismic, gravity, magnetic, electrical resistivity) and geochemical data to guide exploration and development efforts.
• Manage the integration of various datasets (geophysical, geological, geochemical, and assay data) to refine subsurface models and improve target definition.
• Oversee the interpretation of structural geology, stratigraphy, and mineralization processes to improve resource targeting and evaluation.
• Exploration Program Management:
• Design and direct comprehensive exploration programs, including drill campaigns, geophysical surveys, and geochemical sampling, ensuring best practices in data collection and analysis.
• Manage and oversee drill programs, from site selection and targeting to drilling operations, ensuring alignment with geological models and corporate objectives.
• Develop budgets and timelines for exploration activities, ensuring efficient resource allocation and adherence to project deadlines.
• Regulatory and Compliance Oversight:
• Ensure that all geological work complies with local, national, and international regulatory standards (e.g., JORC, NI 43-101, SEC guidelines).
• Prepare and review technical reports, including resource estimations, feasibility studies, and technical assessments, for submission to regulatory bodies, stakeholders, and investors.
• Ensure the accuracy, transparency, and integrity of geological data presented in public filings and internal reports.
• Mentorship & Team Leadership:
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior geologists and other geological staff.
• Lead by example in fostering a culture of safety, collaboration, and innovation within the geoscience team.
• Ensure that junior geologists have access to necessary training, development opportunities, and resources to excel in their roles.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
• Collaborate with engineering, environmental, and safety teams to ensure seamless integration of geological insights into mine design, environmental impact assessments, and operational planning.
• Work closely with the senior management team to align geological initiatives with broader corporate goals, providing critical geological insights into operational and financial decision-making processes.

Qualifications:

• Education:
• Bachelors degree in Geology, Geophysics, or related field (Master’s or PhD preferred).
