Globe 24-7 are partnering with a Canadian-based gold producer to recruit a Resource Geologist for an established underground operation in Ontario, Canada. This opportunity combines technical ownership of geological resource models with direct support for operational decisions at a long-life gold mine. Our client offers a hybrid working arrangement and the opportunity to contribute to resource development, reconciliation and mine planning.
The Role
Reporting to the Geological Superintendent within the site Geology Department, the Resource Geologist will develop, maintain and continuously improve short- and long-term geological resource models. The successful candidate will deliver well-documented models that support reliable reconciliation, effective mine planning and district-level resource updates, while providing technical support across geological programs.
The position combines remote, in-office and underground work, with FIFO travel to site as required throughout the year. Attendance requires a minimum of two weeks onsite each quarter, with preference given to qualified candidates available to attend site for one week each month. Site duties include periodic underground travel and may involve handling core boxes and sample bags weighing 40–50 pounds.
The Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain geological and grade block models for underground operations and open pit applications as required.
- Integrate drilling, sampling and production data into short- and long-term resource models, maintaining consistent geological interpretation.
- Reconcile block model estimates against grade control and production results, investigating variances and recommending improvements.
- Prepare documented model updates and technical inputs for district-level resource reporting and internal decision-making.
- Support near-mine resource growth initiatives through geological interpretation and assessment of new drilling information.
- Maintain QA/QC standards for geological data and identify issues affecting model reliability or resource estimation.
- Conduct internal model reviews in accordance with our client's standards and established resource modelling practices.
- Collaborate with Mine Planning, Production and Exploration teams to ensure geological models meet operational requirements.
- Mentor junior geologists in geological interpretation, resource modelling workflows and technical documentation.
- Improve modelling processes and maintain clear records of assumptions, methodologies, validation checks and revisions.
The Requirements
Qualifications & Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in Geology from a recognised institution, or an equivalent qualification.
- Active P.Geo designation, or eligibility to obtain the designation within the required timeframe.
- Five to ten years of geological experience, preferably within a hard rock mining environment.
- Approximately five or more years of experience in resource geology or resource modelling.
- Practical experience developing geological and grade block models and supporting resource reconciliation.
- Certifications required to work in an underground mine environment.
Skills & Personal Attributes:
- Proficiency with Vulcan, Datamine, Acquire and the Microsoft Office Suite.
- Strong understanding of geological interpretation, estimation methods and block model validation.
- Sound knowledge of QA/QC processes and geological data integrity controls.
- Analytical judgement to investigate discrepancies and translate findings into practical technical recommendations.
- Clear technical writing and communication skills, with attention to traceable, well-documented outputs.
- Collaborative working style and the ability to guide junior colleagues across technical tasks.
- Commitment to safe underground working practices and effective coordination across remote and site-based teams.
The Rewards
- Annual salary range of CAD $98,600–$147,900, with final compensation based on skills, experience and internal equity.
- Hybrid working arrangement combining remote and in-office work with scheduled FIFO site attendance.
