Senior Resource Geologist

Primary 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 suitable 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 mergers and acquisitions (M&A), due diligence studies, and other corporate business development efforts.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Geology, Geological Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of eight (8) years of experience in mining geology with a strong focus on resource estimation.
• Professional designation (P.Geo., SME-RM, CPG, or equivalent) or eligibility required.
• Proficiency with Leapfrog Geo for 3D geological and resource modeling.
• Demonstrated competency with at least one geostatistical estimation platform for variography, estimation, and model validation.
• Strong understanding of geostatistics and mineral resource estimation techniques.
• Direct experience with porphyry copper deposits, including an understanding of deposit-scale geological controls, alteration zoning, domain definition, and grade continuity.
• Experience with both open pit and underground mining methods.
• 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 with acQuire or equivalent geological database management systems, including QA/QC protocol design, data validation workflows, and compliance with corporate database standards.
• Experience contributing resource model inputs to Preliminary Economic Assessments (PEA), Prefeasibility Studies (PFS), or Feasibility Study technical reports.
• Strong leadership skills with a desire to mentor and develop site staff.
• Able to work independently while contributing to a collaborative, progressive, and high-performing team.
