Senior Resource Geologist

About the role

Faraday Copper is a growth oriented Canadian junior mining company focused on responsibly advancing its flagship development stage project in Arizona, through its subsidiary company, Redhawk Copper. With a highly energetic and collaborative team, Faraday is committed to building a modern mining operation grounded in operational excellence, environmental stewardship, and strong community partnerships. Faraday recently announced it has entered a letter of intent to acquire BHP’s San Manuel property in Arizona, creating the potential for a multi-asset copper district in the USA. As the company transitions from exploration to project development, it is seeking a strategic and hands-on Senior Mine Resource Geologist to build and lead resource geology in Arizona.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and update 3D geological domain models and resource block models using Leapfrog Geo and geostatistical estimation platforms, ensuring models are current, auditable, and fit for feasibility-level decision making.
• Direct the technical scope and review deliverables of independent Qualified Person consultants for mineral resource estimations prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and, where applicable, SEC S-K 1300 reporting standards.
• Interpret geological, geochemical, and geophysical data to support resource classification and mine planning.
• Integrate geometallurgical domains into resource models to support process design, recovery forecasting, and mine planning for both sulfide flotation and leach amenable material.
• Contribute resource model inputs to prefeasibility and feasibility study work, including resource classification confidence upgrades through targeted infill and condemnation drilling.
• Conduct data validation, direct QA/QC procedures, ensure database integrity, and perform timely model reconciliation.
• Collaborate with mine planning engineers to optimize mine designs and production schedules.
• Develop and implement resource reconciliation programs to track model performance against actual production and grade control data as the project advances toward operations.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to mine geologists and technicians.
• Prepare technical reports, documentation, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
• Manage resource classification methodology, including variogram modeling, estimation validation, and confidence category assignments consistent with NI 43-101 category definitions.
• Develop resource models in support of corporate M&A work, due diligence studies, and other corporate business development efforts.

Physical Demands

• Ability to understand, follow, and communicate work assignments, procedures, and safety requirements in English.
• Must be able to frequently sit, stand, walk, and lift or carry up to 10 pounds.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Geological Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 8 years of experience in mining geology, with a strong focus on resource estimation.
• Professional designation (e.g., P.Geo, SME-RM, CPG) required or eligibility.
• Proficiency in Leapfrog Geo for 3D geological and resource modeling, combined with demonstrated competency in at least one geostatistical estimation platform for variography, estimation, and model validation.
• Strong understanding of geostatistics and estimation techniques.
• Direct experience in resource estimation on porphyry copper deposits, with demonstrated understanding of deposit-scale geological controls, alteration zoning, and their influence on domain definition and grade continuity.
• Experience with both open pit and underground mining techniques.
• Demonstrated experience designing, managing, and interpreting resource definition and infill drilling programs, including drill targeting, collar surveying, logging standards, and integration of results into updated resource models.
• Proficiency in geological database management using acQuire or equivalent platform, including QA/QC protocol design, data validation workflows, and compliance with corporate database standards.
• Experience contributing resource model inputs to PEA, PFS, or feasibility study technical reports at a development stage project.
• Leadership and a desire to mentor and develop site staff.
• Ability to work independently and in a dynamic, collaborative, progressive, and high-performing team.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States.
