Geologist (Revival Gold - Mercur Project)
Role Summary:
Geologist supports exploration and resource development activities at the Mercur Project by collecting, managing, and interpreting geological data to guide drilling, sampling, mapping, and geologic modeling. This role works closely with exploration, mining, technical services, environmental, and HSE teams to ensure work is executed safely, efficiently, and to appropriate technical standards, while delivering accurate, well-documented results suitable for internal decision-making and external reporting. Reporting to: Exploration Manager / General Manager (as assigned)
Location: Mercur Project (field-based with office/computer work); travel to site and regional field areas as required
Status: Full-time (seasonal or contract depending on project phase)
Key responsibilities
- Plan and execute field programs including geologic mapping, sampling (rock/soil), trenching support, drill site support, and core/chip logging.
- Log drill core and/or RC cuttings to company standards, including lithology, alteration, mineralization, structure, veining, geotechnical observations (where applicable), and sample interval selection.
- Ensure quality, integrity, and chain-of-custody for all samples; coordinate shipments to laboratories and track turn-around times.
- Implement and monitor QA/QC programs (standards, blanks, duplicates), validate assay results, and flag issues for resolution with laboratories and the project team.
- Maintain accurate geological databases, including collar, survey, lithology, assays, density, and metadata; perform routine data checks and corrections.
- Compile, interpret, and communicate results through maps, sections, logs, tables, and concise technical memos and presentations.
- Assist with geologic modeling and interpretation in appropriate software (e.g., GIS and 3D modeling tools), including interpretation of structures, stratigraphy, alteration, and mineralized domains.
- Support geophysical, geochemical, and remote sensing datasets compilation and interpretation as required.
- Coordinate with drilling contractors and service providers to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient execution of drilling and support activities.
- Contribute to work planning, daily reporting, cost awareness, and schedule tracking for assigned activities.
- Support permitting and environmental coordination by documenting disturbance, reclamation status, and field observations as required.
- Participate in continuous improvement of standard operating procedures, templates, and data workflows.
Required Qualifications;
- B.S. in Geology, Geological Engineering, or Mining related discipline
- 4+ years of relevant experience in mineral exploration and/or mine geology (experience in epithermal gold systems and/or Carlin-type systems is an asset).
- Demonstrated competence in drill logging, sampling, QA/QC, and geologic data management.
- Working knowledge of GIS and geologic software (e.g., ArcGIS/QGIS; 3D modeling platforms
such as Leapfrog, Vulcan, or similar).
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to produce clear logs, maps, and technical summaries.
- Valid driver's license and ability to operate a 4×4 vehicle in field conditions, forklifts, and other small equipment.
- Ability to work in remote field environments and varying weather; able to lift and handle core
boxes and field gear (as required).
Core Competencies;
- Safety-first mindset; follows procedures and proactively identifies hazards and controls.
- Strong field skills: observation, sampling discipline, and attention to detail.
- Analytical thinking and practical problem-solving; integrates multiple datasets.
- High data stewardship: organized, accurate, and consistent documentation.
- Collaborative, respectful team member; capable of coordinating with contractors and cross functional groups.
- Adaptable and resilient in a changing project environment.
Health, Safety, Environment & Compliance:
- Comply with all Revival Gold policies, site rules, and applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
- Participate in safety meetings, risk assessments, and field-level hazard identification; stop work when conditions are unsafe.
- Ensure field activities minimize environmental impact and follow permit conditions, disturbance tracking, and reclamation requirements.
- Maintain accurate records and documentation to support audits, technical reviews, and reporting.
- MSHA Part 46 training certificate required.
- Able to follow SOPs and Safety Procedures. Participate in helping to write SOPs as needed.
Work Conditions;
- Combination of field and office work; may include extended field days during active programs.
- Schedule may be standard weekday or rotational during drilling campaigns, depending on project needs.
- Exposure to typical field hazards (uneven terrain, wildlife, weather, heavy equipment); appropriate PPE required.
Note: This role description reflects typical duties and may be adjusted based on project phase,
permitting status, and operational requirements.
