Exploration Geologist

Exploration Geologist

$400 CAD per day

Our client is an exploration-focused mining company advancing a grassroots exploration project in Oregon, USA. The current program is focused on systematic soil sampling and prospecting, with a diamond drilling program anticipated to begin following permit approval later this year.

As the program expands, they are seeking two Exploration Geologists to provide technical leadership, oversee field crews, manage sampling data, and support the transition from early-stage exploration into drilling. This is an excellent opportunity for junior Geologists who are looking to step into a more hands-on field leadership role while gaining exposure to soil sampling, GIS, prospecting, data management, and future diamond drilling activities.

PERKS & BENEFITS

• Competitive compensation of $400 CAD per day
• Opportunity to work on an active grassroots exploration project in Oregon, USA
• Consistent ongoing assignment
• Flexible rotation options of 14 days on / 14 days off or 20 days on / 10 days off
