Job description
About Jerritt Canyon
The Jerritt Canyon deposit was discovered in 1972, and the first gold production from the property occurred in 1981. The Jerritt Canyon property contains 30,821 hectares of mining claims located in the mining-friendly state of Nevada. First Majestic acquired the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine from Sprott Mining Inc. on April 30, 2021. In May 2023, operations were suspended to prioritize exploration and technical studies. Jerritt Canyon is now entering a new phase of evaluation and planning, requiring substantial technical support to advance the work necessary for a potential future restart of operations.
The Opportunity
The Project Geologist will play a critical role in advancing geological understanding and resource development at the Jerritt Canyon district. This position is responsible for directing and managing drilling programs, from target definition through execution and interpretation, in support of resource growth, project de-risking, and long-term mine planning.
Working closely with exploration, technical services, and site operations teams, the Project Geologist will lead field-based programs, oversee drilling and field contractors, and ensure all work is executed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with corporate standards and regulatory requirements. A strong commitment to safety, environmental stewardship, and data quality is essential to success in this role.
Responsibilities
The above duties and responsibilities represent the nature and level of work assigned and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
