Zusammenfassung

Andean Precious Metals Corp. is seeking a Grade Control Technician to operate in open-pit environments, collect blast-hole data, and support geological modeling. You will work with geologists, survey personnel, and mining engineers to integrate drilling data, maintain QA/QC standards, and contribute to ore grade reconciliation.

The role emphasizes field mapping, data entry, software usage (Leapfrog/Minesight/GIS/ACAD), and collaboration across geology, engineering, and mining teams.

Qualifikationen

• Experience in outdoor, fieldwork preferred.
• Ability to learn quickly and work with data.
• Strong computer skills and ability to learn software.
• Effective communication and teamwork in a field setting.
• Safety-sensitive position; adherence to safety policies.

Aufgaben

• Sample blast-holes on active drill patterns in a consistent and repeatable method.
• Under the guidance from the geologists, complete geological mapping assignments, both in the open pit environment and in the field.
• Complete applicable sampling and transportation requirements.
• Assist survey personnel with downhole scanning of voids, ore staking, and other field activities as needed.
• Develop and maintain a database/model with blast hole sample information, which is used to compare with main block-model.
• Help maintain a database of exploration and infill drill-hole information and have direct input into the grade/ounce reconciliation calculations and models.
• Complete geological mapping assignments, both in the open pit environment and in the field.
• Enter data and prepare work on geologic sections and level plans with a software package such as Leapfrog and/or Minesight in addition to using programs associated with GIS and ACAD.
• Visit mining faces often to see if the loading equipment are within ore/waste polygons that are set out by the Company’s survey crew.
• Interface with the mine-planning engineer to develop ore-polygons during a “release” of blast-hole data and to discuss ore grades past and future.
• Assist the Geology department with the management of all drilling programs and provide understanding of the orebody.
• Work closely with the laboratory department to ensure that a proper QA/QC protocol (as set by mine management) is rigorously adhered to.
• Coordinate input and information flow between Geology, Engineering, and the Mining departments.
