  • Strong expertise in geological and structural modelling, exploration data management and interpretation, GIS, targeting, and QA/QC.
  • Experience establishing or managing collaborative geoscientific research programs with external organizations.
  • Proven track record supporting exploration success and leadership, new discoveries and resource growth.
  • Advanced proficiency with exploration and geological software, such as ArcGIS, QGIS, Leapfrog and ioGAS.
  • Ability to regularly travel to project locations and nationwide.

Certifications
