Role:

The Resource Geologist will be responsible for the evaluation, estimation, and ongoing maintenance of mineral resources, with a strong focus on porphyry and epithermal style. The role requires a mature, hands-on geologist with practical experience working in active mining operations, capable of bridging geological interpretation with operational realities.

Key Functions:

Resource Modeling & Estimation

• Develop, update, and maintain geological and resource models in accordance with JORC / NI 43-101 / CIM/ PMRC or other relevant reporting codes.
• Interpret complex geological datasets for porphyry and epithermal mineral systems, including lithology, alteration, structure, and mineralization controls.
• Perform grade estimation using appropriate geostatistical methods and ensure defensible assumptions.
• Prepare and support resource statements, technical reports, and internal reviews.

Operational Integration

• Work closely with mine geology, planning, and mining operations to ensure resource models are practical, realistic, and aligned with mining constraints.
• Provide geological input into short- and long-term mine planning.
• Support reconciliation between resource models, grade control, and production data.
• Participate in site visits, mapping, and drilling programs as required.

Drilling & Data Management

• Design and review resource extension and infill drilling programs.
• Ensure QA/QC protocols are implemented and monitored.
• Validate and manage geological databases, including drillhole, assay, and geological data.

Technical Leadership & Mentoring

• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to junior and mid-level geologists.
• Review geological interpretations and resource work completed by others.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of geological and resource workflows.

Stakeholder & Compliance

• Support audits, due diligence reviews, and external consultant engagements.
• Communicate resource risks, uncertainties, and opportunities clearly to management.
• Ensure compliance with company standards, reporting codes, and safety requirements.

• Minimum of 10 years of relevant geological experience, including significant time in resource geology.
• Demonstrated experience with porphyry and epithermal
• Practical, hands-on experience in operating mines, either open pit and/or underground
• Proven track record of delivering mineral resource estimates for producing or advanced-stage projects.
• Strong proficiency in industry-standard software (e.g. Leapfrog, Datamine, Surpac, Vulcan, Micromine, or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of geostatistics, resource classification, and uncertainty analysis.
• Experience with grade reconciliation and mine-to-model comparisons.
• Strong geological interpretation skills in structurally complex systems.
• Strong technical report writing skills
• Sound technical judgment developed through operational exposure.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Comfortable making defensible decisions under operational and time constraints.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex geological concepts to non-geologists.
