Geologist

Overview

Responsibilities

& Responsibilities

• Strong understanding of orogenic/greenstone systems, alteration halos, structural controls, and regolith in tropical/arid terrains
• Ability to integrate mapping, soil/rock geochemistry, drilling, and geophysics into coherent exploration models and targets.
• Competence in remote sensing for mineral exploration: reading multispectral/hyperspectral imagery, recognizing alteration minerals and lineaments
• Operational understanding of drone mapping workflows: flight plan design, ground control points, overlap, resolution, and familiarity with platforms like UgCS or similar mission planning software.
• Working knowledge (not necessarily operator level) of drone mounted sensors used in exploration: magnetometers, radiometrics, LiDAR, multispectral/hyperspectral, sometimes VLF EM or GPR.
• Ability to interpret basic geophysical data products (magnetic anomalies, structure trends, radiometric ratios).
• Good command of GIS (ArcGIS/QGIS) for compiling geology, geochem, geophysics, drone derived DEMs, and imagery into exploration layers and target maps.
• Exposure to 3D geological and resource modeling tools
• Field leadership in remote African settings
• Experience organising and supervising mapping, sampling, trenching, and drilling in remote camps
• Comfort with large datasets and cloud workflows: storing, validating, and sharing drone and sensor data with remote geophysicists/data scientists.
• Ability to translate technical findings into clear drill targets, reports, and decision points for management and investors.
