We are searching for a high agency and highly experienced Resource Geologist with some knowledge of geometallurgy to join our Technical Services team. You will be overseeing all aspects of mineral resource evaluation, including auditing of data analysis, resource block models, geometallurgical block models and ensuring quality control. You will provide input into the development and implementation of our Machine Learning technology to ensure accurate and reliable resource estimations are generated. As a Resource Geologist you will collaborate closely with our co-founders, Geologist and Lead Metallurgist to ensure Stratum’s goals are aligned.
The role requires proficiency across most aspects of mineral resource and geometallurgical block models. However, much of your day-to-day work will be focused on evaluating the clients existing Kriging models, our Stratum models, as well as liaising with the Business Development team to determine how our technology can add value to a client’s mining operation.
This is a remote-first position, with a preference for applicants based in Australia, Canada or LatAm.
STRATUMAI & THE ML/AI TECHNICAL SERVICES TEAM
StratumAI creates advanced mineral resource and geometallurgical models that empower operating mining companies to make smarter, more efficient decisions for mine planning and ore control. We using proprietary algorithms adapted for neural networks, to produce 3D models that are significantly more accurate than traditional Kriging models. This enable enhanced target drilling, blasthole optimisation, ore type categorisation and mineral processing routing / blending to optimise added value opportunities for the client.
Our long-term vision is to build a ML/AI engine capable of modelling many of the critical decision within a mining operation. We are looking for highly competent resource geologist to help make this vision a reality.
