Job description

At Catalyst, geology sits at the core of our operational success. This is an operations-focused role embedded within our underground mine, working closely with mining and technical services to drive safe and predictable production outcomes.

Our deposits are technically complex and require disciplined interpretation, detailed modelling and strong collaboration on the ground. While we operate a consistent underground mining method, variability within our ore bodies demands sharp geological thinking and attention to detail.

Our resource definition and grade control programs feed directly into a robust geological model that supports up to six months of planned production. This is a hands‑on environment where data quality, geological interpretation and real‑time decision‑making genuinely matter.

Catalyst Metals Limited is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX code: CYL)

The Role

As an Underground Mine Geologist reporting to the Senior Mine Geologist, you will be responsible for collecting primary geological data and carrying out underground and surface activities such as face mapping, core logging, sampling, and QA/QC. Your work will support the planning and achievement of production targets through the safe, efficient, and cost‑effective extraction and growth of the mineral reserve.

Main responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Supervision of ore extraction to minimise dilution and maximise recovery
• Production duties such as mapping, sampling, and core logging to guide underground development into an optimum position.
• Provide direction for each face of the underground development headings.
• Ensuring the accurate tracking of ore from the mine to ROM
• Provide accurate daily production data/reporting as required
• Monitor QA/QC of sampling and assaying processes
• Maintain high levels of communication between geological personnel, engineers, surveyors and operational personnel on site

Ideal candidates will have:

• Bachelor of Science, majoring in Geology
• Current “C” classmanualdrivers licence
• Experience working within an underground mine is preferred (ideally gold)
• Proficiency in 3D geology software such as SURPAC, Vulcan, Leapfrog
• Excellent time management and interpersonal communication skills
• Personal drive, an ability to prioritise workload, work autonomously and with a wide range of key stakeholders is essential
• Good communication skills
• Full Australian working rights

That’s why we place strong emphasis on creating a supportive team culture, approachable leadership and an environment where people work hard, back each other in, and still find time to have a laugh and enjoy what site has to offer.

We offer:

• 8:6 roster promoting genuine work‑life balance
• Health insurance eligibility
• Exposure to a growing and expanding underground operation
• Opportunity to contribute beyond your core role and influence how we operate
• Supportive and collaborative site leadership team
• Ongoing development and internal progression opportunities
