Resource Geologist

The Resource Geologist will develop and optimize geological resource models using historical and current drilling data, assay results, NI 43-101 reports, ore domains, surface solids, ore solids, structural data, faulting information, core logging, and other relevant geological inputs.

• Conduct resource modeling and resource estimation for existing operations and new projects under evaluation.
• Develop geological models, ore domains, ore solids, surface models, structural models, and fault solids.
• Utilize Geovia Surpac, Micromine, Leapfrog, CAD, and other resource modeling tools to create and maintain geological models.
• Digitize wireframes for ore grades using assay results and geological interpretation.
• Digitize faults, geological formations, surfaces, ore zones, and block models.
• Conduct statistical and geostatistical analysis on assay data to support accurate ore‑zone grade estimation.
• Run variogram and statistical analysis in support of QA/QC and resource model requirements.
• Create block models with ore values constrained by statistical analysis, geological features, and wireframes.
• Maintain a strong focus on model reconciliation and investigate changes between resource, reserve, grade control, and mining dig‑block models.
• Review historical and current geological data for accuracy, consistency, gaps, and errors.
• Convert historical records, assay results, and geological data from Excel, Access, and other formats into usable formats for modeling software.
• Prepare resource modeling reports, volume estimates, ore percentage reports, and technical summaries for management.
• Recommend improvements to resource modeling processes to enhance quality, consistency, accuracy, and efficiency.
• Work with outside consultants on block modeling and resource estimation as needed.

• Support mine operations through grade‑control block model creation and interpretation.
• Ensure geological information from the resource model is accurately carried into grade‑control models.
• Assist with wire framing, face mapping, and digital representation of geological features.
• Define and guide appropriate sampling and estimation procedures for mining operations.
• Support core logging, QA/QC standards, drilling standards, sampling standards, and core‑management procedures.
• Develop and implement SOPs for resource modeling, QA/QC, drilling, sampling, sample preparation, core handling, and other geological processes.
• Encourage consistency, procedural discipline, and quality controls across technical services and mine operations.
• Train technical services personnel and new employees on Surpac processes, data accuracy, block‑model reporting, and resource estimation practices.
• Assist teams in preparing block‑model assessments and reporting formats for management.

• Utilize resource software such as Geovia Surpac, Micromine, and Leapfrog to generate resource and grade‑control models.
• Establish systems and standards for resource modeling, QA/QC, drilling, sampling, sample preparation, and geological data management.
• Apply geostatistical analysis and estimation modeling techniques to support accurate resource interpretation.
• Conduct reconciliation validation between resource models, reserve models, grade‑control models, and mining dig blocks.
• Prepare detailed technical reports and complete reporting requirements within established timelines.
• Assist with NI 43‑101 technical reports, news releases, presentations, and other technical disclosures as required.

• Lead and manage drilling programs.
• Prepare wireframes, domain characterizations, ore solids, surface models, and structural interpretations based on drill‑hole data, geological mapping, and related site information.
• Coordinate with contractors, consultants, and regulatory bodies to ensure project alignment with company goals, safety standards, and regulatory requirements.
• Participate in feasibility studies, cost estimation, and economic evaluations with a focus on optimizing ore quality and resource value.

• Bachelor’s degree in Geology, Geological Engineering, Geoscience, or a related field.
