Job Description
Our client is seeking a highly experienced Principal Geologist to lead strategic mine planning initiatives within a fully remote framework. As a forward-thinking mining organization that embraces remote collaboration, we are looking for a seasoned expert to contribute significantly to resource evaluation and mine design from anywhere. This senior role is crucial for optimizing resource extraction, ensuring long-term mine viability, and maximizing asset value. You will be responsible for conducting in-depth geological assessments, developing detailed resource models, and creating comprehensive mine plans that align with geological data and economic objectives. Ensuring the safe, efficient, and responsible extraction of mineral resources is paramount.
Key responsibilities include interpreting geological survey data, drill core logging, and geochemical analysis to delineate ore bodies. You will develop geological models using specialized software (e.g., Leapfrog, Datamine, Surpac) and perform resource estimation and classification according to industry standards (e.g., JORC, NI 43-101). This role involves close collaboration with mining engineers, metallurgists, and other technical experts to integrate geological information into mine layout, scheduling, and production planning. You will also contribute to feasibility studies, mine closure planning, and the implementation of geological best practices. Staying abreast of advancements in geological modeling techniques, exploration technologies, and mining software is vital. The ideal candidate will possess a strong understanding of structural geology, sedimentology, and mineral deposit types relevant to the company's operations. Experience in open-pit or underground mine planning is essential. This is an exceptional opportunity to influence major mining projects and contribute to strategic decision-making, all within the flexible environment of a remote work setup.
