Position Summary

The Operations Manager is responsible for leading the day-to-day operation, optimization, and mechanical maintenance of the Springer 1,200 tpd flotation circuit and milling facility. As Blue Moon Metals advances the restart of this world-class tungsten and critical metals skarn deposit, this role will spearhead operational readiness, circuit commissioning, and steady-state processing. The manager will direct chemical reagent dosing, metallurgical recovery balancing, and a dedicated team of operators to maximize concentrate grade and recovery under rigorous safety standards.

Core Responsibilities

1. Process Control & Metallurgical Optimization

  • Direct the daily operation of the automated rod/ball mills and multi-stage flotation circuits (tungsten, molybdenum, and sulphides).
  • Maximize metallurgical recovery rates and concentrate grades for complex skarn ore bodies through continuous assay analysis.
  • Oversee precise chemical reagent balancing, managing the delivery and dosing of collectors, frothers, depressants, and modifiers.
  • Interface directly with metallurgical labs to adjust circuit profiles based on changing mineralogy and ore feed variations.

2. Operations & Commissioning Readiness

  • Lead operational readiness planning, circuit water-testing, and the eventual hot commissioning of the refurbished flotation cells.
  • Collaborate closely with the Project Engineering and Maintenance Manager to coordinate plant shutdowns, mechanical overhauls, and structural adjustments.
  • Implement standard operating procedures (SOPs) and process controls for shift operators and metallurgical technicians.

ย 3. Leadership & Safety Culture

  • Lead, mentor, and schedule a rotating 24/7 crew of mill operators, technicians, and laborers.
  • Cultivate a strict "Zero-Harm" safety-first culture in complete alignment with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) guidelines.
  • Manage workplace risk assessments, hazard identification, and mandatory Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols inside the processing mill.

ย 4. Reagent & Budget Administration

  • Formulate and execute the operational budget for process reagents, consumables, and mill liners.
  • Manage vendor relationships and quality control metrics for chemical reagent supply chains.
  • Track and report daily key performance indicators (KPIs) regarding mill throughput, tailing grades, and utility consumption.

ย Required Qualifications & Experience

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Metallurgical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mineral Processing, or a highly related technical field. Equivalent extensive operational experience may be evaluated.
  • Experience: Minimum of 5-8 years of progressively responsible experience in industrial flotation operations, with at least 3 years in a supervisory or management capacity.
  • Technical Metallurgy Background: Deep, technical knowledge of base metal or critical mineral separation. Direct experience working with tungsten (scheelite), molybdenum, or skarn mineral systems is a significant advantage.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Robust working knowledge of MSHA standards for surface metal/nonmetal processing facilities.
  • Work Conditions: Willingness to work in a hands-on, high-production industrial mill environment. Must reside within or be willing to relocate to a commutable distance from the Imlay/Winnemucca, NV area.
