- Support our partners in planning, design, and execution of eventual field programs, including ground data collection and geophysical surveys.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with government bodies, professional organizations, and partners during events, to promote collaborative initiatives.
- Contribute to writing project proposals for funding opportunities.
- Participate in on-the-ground assessments and collaborate with local partners to refine exploration outcomes.

Required Skills

- Proven technical knowledge of one or more ore deposit types. Experience working on sediment-hosted stratiform copper or magmatic sulfide systems will be considered an advantage.
- Deep understanding of geological controls on mineralization and their integration into mineral deposit models.
- Expertise in analyzing and modeling geoscientific data to support mineral exploration and resource evaluation.
- Proficiency in GIS platforms such as QGIS or similar software.
- Strong leadership and collaboration skills to drive projects and work effectively within interdisciplinary teams.
- A keen interest in applying satellite imagery and remote sensing techniques to geological challenges.
