- Act as the internal technical authority for RPEE-related matters, peer-reviewing both internal and externally generated work.
Cross-Functional Integration
- Work closely with geology, mine planning, and metallurgy teams to align RPEE assumptions with realistic mining and processing scenarios.
- Support early-stage project evaluations, development studies, and long-term planning exercises.
Governance, Assurance & Documentation
- Ensure RPEE workflows are documented, auditable, and consistently applied.
- Support internal reviews, audits, and technical governance processes related to Mineral Resource reporting.
- Mentor geologists and engineers in RPEE concepts, optimization techniques, and resource-level mining assumptions.
- Contribute to building long-term internal capability in resource development and evaluation
