Original source description
Newmont is recruiting a Superintendent of Mine Geology for the underground operations at Ahafo South, near Kenyasi in the Ahafo Region. Ahafo South is Ghana's largest gold mine and Newmont's main operation in Africa. Since 2006 it has produced over 10 million ounces from open pits and underground workings, and has projects planned to keep it producing well beyond 2050. The role is on site.
The superintendent leads underground geology so that the mine gets the most out of its resource: grade control, reconciliation between the mine and the mill, geometallurgy and up-to-date geological models for planning. You will also sign off, as the Qualified Person, every underground mineral resource and reserve estimate.
What you will do
Adapt Newmont's global methods to the deposit for grade control: drilling, sampling and assay techniques, data quality assurance and control, geological interpretation and reporting.
Design and manage grade control and infill drilling programmes.
Deliver mine-to-mill reconciliation from the geology side, oversee the monthly underground reconciliation and close gaps and variances quickly.
Keep the 3D geological models current for mine planning.
Scope, budget and run geometallurgical work so the site has the data it needs to reduce risk.
Lead and develop the mine geology team, manage its staffing budget, and identify and control risks.
Manage geological consultants and contracts, making sure they meet specifications, safety standards and contract terms.
Give technical leadership across all underground operations on grade control, modelling, ore control, reconciliation, resource and reserve management and compliance.
What you need
A first degree in Geology or a closely related subject.
Ten to fifteen years of experience in mining.
Advanced skill in grade control, mine-to-mill reconciliation and 3D geological modelling.
Sound knowledge of geometallurgy, risk management and business improvement.
Proven team leadership and experience of project or contract management.
Self-awareness, good teamwork and the ability to work through others and influence stakeholders.
