Job Description

Responsibilities:  Integrate and interpret all geological and mineralogical data into internally consistent three-dimensional solids, surface geology maps, cross sections and level plans. Work with a team of geologists in the completion of geological block models that meet corporate modeling standards. Perform statistical and geostatistical evaluations of drill-hole data.  Perform grade interpolation utilizing various geostatistical techniques. Develop coding methodology including re-logging and manage the entry of geological (rock type, alteration, structure, ore types), assay and mineralogical data into database. Prepare, update and manage drill hole databases for resource models. Routinely validates database accuracy. Work with and provides support to the Resource Audit Team in their audits of resource models of all international CMOC mines. Deliver guidance on planning models and reconciliation, including working with mine and exploration geologists at international CMOC mine sites.
