Anglo Gold Ashanti is a global gold mining company with a diverse, high-quality portfolio of operations, projects and exploration activities across 10 countries on four continents. We pursue value-creating opportunities involving other minerals, where we can leverage our existing assets, shareholdings, skills, and experience.

At Anglo Gold Ashanti, we assure you of work that carries significance and creates tangible results. What we do goes beyond mining. We build livelihoods in communities, champion environmental stewardship, and strengthen local and national economies. Our leaders and teams are committed to listening to and supporting each other, valuing differences, and embracing equity. We are convinced that greatness only happens when we prioritize these behaviors and the well-being of every person.

The Project Metallurgist supports the delivery of metallurgical and process engineering activities across Anglo Gold Ashanti’s Nevada Projects portfolio. Working closely with the Metallurgy Superintendent and Manager, Processing & Metallurgy, this role contributes to metallurgical characterization, process development, engineering studies, and technical evaluations that support project advancement from concept studies through feasibility.

The Project Metallurgist plays an important role in managing metallurgical testwork programs, evaluating process alternatives, reviewing engineering deliverables, and supporting the development of technically sound and economically robust process flow sheets for gold processing projects.

• Support metallurgical activities for Concept Studies, Pre‑Feasibility Studies (PFS), and Feasibility Studies (FS) in alignment with project stage‑gate requirements.
• Assist in preparing metallurgy and processing sections of technical reports and study documentation.
• Contribute to technical evaluations supporting process selection, recovery optimization, and project economics.
• Support the development of metallurgical assumptions used in project planning and decision-making.

• Assist in the design, execution, and management of metallurgical testwork programs with external laboratories and technical service providers.
• Conduct representative sample selection through review of geological models, drill data, and historical metallurgical test results.
• Coordinate sample collection, preparation, shipment, and chain‑of‑custody requirements.
• Evaluate laboratory results and ensure data quality, consistency, and alignment with project objectives.

• Review process engineering deliverables including:
  • Process Design Criteria
  • Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)
  • Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
  • General Arrangements
  • Equipment Lists and Specifications
• Collaborate with EPCM partners, consultants, and vendors to review process designs and identify optimization opportunities.
• Support development and refinement of process operating philosophies and metallurgical performance models.

• Assist in developing CAPEX and OPEX inputs for engineering studies and project evaluations.
• Support preparation of recovery models, reagent consumption forecasts, mass balances, and process simulations.
• Utilize data analysis tools and metallurgical software to evaluate process performance and support project development decisions.
• Participate in trade‑off studies evaluating technical and economic impacts of alternative process configurations.

• Ensure all metallurgical activities are conducted in accordance with company safety standards and regulatory requirements.
