Key Responsibilities
Mine Geology – Reporting to the Mine Geology Manager
- Infill diamond drill planning, including budgeting, and execution for de-risking and informing the mine production and development schedule, including identifying areas of data deficiencies, how and where to drill them from and when they need to be drilled to fully support the mine planning process.
- Life of Mine infill drilling planning, budgeting and integration with the long term mine development and production plan.
- Maintain and improve 3D geological, structural, lithological,



alteration and mineralisation models to support short term grade control model updates and Mineral Resource Estimation updates and reporting. Working with the company Resource Estimation Geologist for peer review of work and assistance.
- Update and maintain the mine domain interpretations using underground mapping, sampling and diamond drilling data.
- Update the grade control block models when required to support the mine planning development and production design process. Underground and Open Cut.
- Scheduling and planning open cut grade control drilling campaigns to maximise opportunities and minimise delays to mining activity.
- Supervise drilling contractors and field personnel, ensuring safe execution, accurate collaring, survey control, sample quality and adherence to site procedures.
- Contribute to reconciliation between geological models, grade control outcomes, production performance and resource model expectations. Exploration – Reporting to the Exploration Manager
- Planning, budgeting and executing resource development and expansion drilling programs, including from surface drilling, to improve and add to the resource inventory.
- Interpret narrow-vein Au-Sb-W mineralisation, lode continuity, plunge controls, fault offsets, vein intersections, alteration patterns and grade-shoot architecture.

geological interpretations and updated resource block models.
- Work closely with Resource Estimation, Mine Geology, Exploration, Survey, Engineering and Metallurgy teams to ensure drill data meets requirements for resource conversion and operational decision-making.
- Design drill programs that appropriately test vein orientation, true width, structural continuity, grade variability, geotechnical conditions and metallurgical domains.
- Ensure logging/LIBS Scanning, sampling, structural measurement, density, geotechnical, geometallurgical and assay QA/QC data are collected to the required standard.
- Review assay results, downhole surveys, structural data and database validation outputs to identify issues, trends, opportunities and follow-up targets.
- Support resource estimation inputs including domain interpretation, wireframe validation, drill spacing assessment, depletion review and classification confidence.
- Prepare technical reports, target reviews, drilling summaries, budget inputs, forecasts and presentations for site and corporate stakeholders.
- Contribute to peer reviews of interpretations, structural data capture, QA/QC and drill program execution. About You To be considered you will need:
- Bachelor of Science degree in Geology, Earth Science or equivalent.
