Mine Geologist - Mapping, Interpretation and Modeling - Dabakala

Reporting to the Mineral Resources Manager, the Mine Geologist (Pit Mapping and Interpretation) will be responsible in ensuring that all aspects related to pit mapping, structural data collection, structural interpretation and identification of mineralization’s controls are well defined at Lafigue Mine. The role will be responsible for providing information related to geological structural conditions, controls on mineralization, geological and geotechnical domains to mine geology and geotechnical teams in compliance with site established Standard Operating Procedures and that work is conducted within Endeavour established Health, Safety and Environment procedures and policies.
Responsibilities:

• Develop a full understanding of the geology, orebody, structural conditions, and mineralization controls for Lafigue deposit.
•  Produce geological and structural maps of each pit per 10m bench or as required to meet to support drill and blast requirements.
• Manage daily activities on geological/structural mapping in all active and near mine pits by ensuring accurate and relevant data is collected.
• Use 2D/3D application systems to build reliable geological and structural domains that can feed into the on-going building and revision of the Geological models.
• Provide geological data and inputs required to assist the Geotechnical Team in geotechnical domaining.
