Role Description:

A&B Global Mining (ABGM) is looking for a skilled Geologist who will be expected to critically review exploration data before construction sound geological models. A mineral resource estimation and classification will be based on geostatistical analysis of the mineralisation, resulting in a three-dimensional block model containing all relevant parameters.

The candidate will work in close relationship with other technical specialists, e.g., mining engineers, metallurgists, exploration geologists, etc., and will be required to participate in compiling project budgets and proposals, and constructively interacting with clients. At a more senior level, some business development activities will be required.

The ideal candidate should be self-aware of skills and experience gaps, with the desire to grow into such gaps. Mineral resource geology often interacts closely with mineral economics and the successful applicant will be expected to grow in this area, to be able to interact with project developers and financiers in a way that adds value.

Responsibilities:

• Collate, analyze, and evaluate data using industry standard software.
• Translate and integrate sampling and Resource data from spreadsheets or other databases to industry standard platforms.
• Manage all information related to the Resource: ensuring assays, composites, densities, and related information are accurate and validated.
• Implement and conduct extensive QA/QC monitoring to ensure data and interpretations are accurate.
• Update or create 3D litho-structural models and mineralization models.
• Carry out competent geostatistical analysis of relevant data (geochemical, mineralization quality, geometallurgical, etc.)
• Produce and validate block models and other parameters as required.
• Produce Mineral Resource statements/reports in line with international reporting code guidelines.
• Assist in planning exploration programs fit to deliver on project objectives and schedules.
• Update existing Resource models with newly acquired data.
• Collaborate with other technical disciplines, e.g., engineering, environment, etc.
• Critically review and evaluate Mineral Resource estimations prepared by other parties (due diligence).
• Ensure compliance with the requirements of the relevant reporting code.
• Assist with auditing and production of technical-economic models for financial evaluations of projects and/or mining operations.
• Ensure compliance with all legal, environmental, occupational health and safety and risk management standards and best practices as may pertain to the Company or the projects.
• Provide guidance and training on site to ensure procedural compliance.
• Establish and maintain strong relationships with relevant stakeholders.
• Plan, schedule, and cost exploration programs in line with client requirements.
• Conduct Site Visits to project locations to inspect and verify primary geological information.
• Review geological models in a suitable digital software package.
• Carry out mineral resource statements in line with best practice industry guidelines.
• Assist in managing the exploration team and its resources for successful completion of exploration projects.

Qualification/ Experience:

• BSc. Geology, BSc. (Hons) or MSc would be more advantageous.
• Formally trained in Geostatistics.
• Minimum 5-10 years in geology position, including at least 3 years of experience in geostatistics and mineral resource estimation.
• Experience with metallic deposits required,coal advantageous.

Skills/ Knowledge:

Technical skills:

• Exploration (mapping, drilling, core logging, sampling, laboratory analysis)
• Quality assurance and control
• Geological modelling (using digital software)
• Strong understanding of geo statistics
• Mineral resource estimation
• Knowledge of CRISCO mineral resources reporting codes
• Report writing.
• Experienced with Datamine and Leapfrog software
• Experienced with specialist geostatistics software will be advantageous.

Non-technical skills:

• Ability to work in a team.
• Innovative
• Good communication
• Good presentation skills
