services function.Stakeholder Engagement & Project
Support•           Present
resource updates, technical findings, and compliance status to the Senior Management and where it is required to the Board, Ministry of

to ESG reporting by providing transparent, accurate resource depletion and mine
life data where required or requested by subsidiary companies or JV partners.RequirementsQualifications & Experience•           Bachelor's
degree or higher in Geology, Geo statistics, or a related geo science discipline.•           Minimum
12–15 years of progressive experience in mineral resource estimation, with at
least 5 years in a senior, lead, or managerial capacity.•           Formally
credentialed Competent Person (CP) under JORC and/or SAMREC, and Qualified
Person (QP) under NI 43-101, with a verifiable track record of signing off
publicly disclosed Mineral Resource statements.•           Demonstrated

(Cu, Zn, Pb); familiarity with poly metallic NSR-based reporting is
advantageous.•           Advanced
proficiency in resource estimation software: Leapfrog Geo/Edge, Micro mine, or
equivalent industry platforms.•           Expert-level geo statistical capability: experimental and modeled radiography, ringing (OK,
SK, UK, IK), conditional simulation, and resource classification criteria.•           Proven
experience with pit shell optimization (Whittle, NPV Scheduler, Geovia) and
open pit / underground cut-off grade analysis.•           Thorough
knowledge of JORC 2012, NI 43-101, and SAMREC reporting requirements, and
experience preparing compliant technical documentation •           Strong
leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills•           Postgraduate
qualification (MSc or PhD) in Geo statistics, Economic Geology, or a closely
related discipline.•           Membership
