About the Role

Our client, a dynamic exploration company with interests in the Northern Cape, is seeking a highly skilled Senior Geologist specializing in Exploration and Resource Estimation. This remote position offers an exciting opportunity to drive geological understanding and delineate mineral resources for potential mining projects. The successful candidate will be responsible for interpreting geological data, developing exploration models, conducting resource estimations, and collaborating with geoscientists and engineers. You will play a pivotal role in identifying and validating economic mineral deposits. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced geologist to leverage their expertise remotely and contribute to strategic resource development, with a focus on the rich geological potential of areas like Kimberley and the broader Northern Cape.

Key Responsibilities

Lead geological data acquisition, interpretation, and mapping for exploration projects. Develop and refine geological models, including structural, lithological, and alteration interpretations. Conduct detailed mineral resource estimations using industry-standard software and best practices. Plan and manage field exploration programs, including drilling campaigns and geological surveys. Collaborate closely with geophysicists, geochemists, and mining engineers to integrate multidisciplinary data. Prepare comprehensive geological reports, resource estimates, and technical presentations. Ensure compliance with the South African Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (S-K 1300 / SAMREC Code). Identify and assess new exploration targets and opportunities. Provide geological input for feasibility studies and mine planning. Mentor junior geologists and contribute to the company's technical knowledge base.

Requirements

Master's degree in Geology or Economic Geology from an accredited university. A minimum of 8 years of progressive experience in mineral exploration and resource estimation. Professional Geoscientist (Pr GISc) or equivalent professional registration is highly desirable. Proven expertise in geological modeling and resource estimation software (e.g., Leapfrog, Vulcan, Micromine, Datamine). Strong understanding of geological processes, mineral deposit types, and exploration techniques. Demonstrated ability in data analysis, statistical evaluation, and geostatistics. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex geological concepts clearly. Ability to work independently and manage projects effectively in a remote work environment. Familiarity with the geological setting of the Northern Cape province and its mineral potential. Experience in various commodity types is an advantage. Commitment to safety and ethical conduct in all exploration activities.

Benefits

This is a full-time remote position offering a competitive salary commensurate with extensive experience and specialized skills in exploration geology and resource estimation. While working remotely, you will be an integral part of a dedicated team focused on strategic growth. Opportunities for professional development and involvement in high-impact projects exist. This role provides the flexibility of remote work while contributing to the discovery and delineation of valuable mineral resources, with potential applications in areas rich in mineral potential like the Northern Cape.
