We are seeking an experienced Exploration Manager to lead exploration activities supporting a large-scale gold and silver mining operation in Nevada. This role is responsible for managing near-mine and regional exploration programs, overseeing target generation and project development, and leading a high-performing technical team focused on resource growth and discovery.

  • Assess exploration potential, define targets, and develop and manage exploration programs.
  • Lead target generation, assessment, and project pipeline management activities.
  • Design, evaluate, plan, and prioritize exploration targets at various stages of advancement.
  • Contribute to drill planning for resource discovery, resource growth, and program optimization.
  • Coordinate and sequence exploration activities including geological, geochemical, geophysical, and drilling programs.
  • Ensure effective utilization of exploration data to support geological interpretation and decision-making.
  • Implement and oversee QA/QC programs and procedures across all exploration activities.
  • Review QA/QC data and ensure any issues are identified and addressed promptly.
  • Mentor, develop, and strengthen exploration team capabilities.
  • Perform and support geological and structural modeling as required.
Qualifications
  • 15+ years of exploration experience with Carlin-type, epithermal gold-silver, and similar deposit styles.
  • Minimum 5 years of leadership experience in exploration management within the mining industry.
  • Experience with both near-mine and regional exploration programs.
  • Experience advancing both surface and underground projects.
  • Strong understanding of QA/QC principles, implementation, and data evaluation.
  • Proficiency with exploration and mining software applications.
  • GIS and 3D modeling experience preferred.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, organizational, and team-building skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet project deadlines.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Geosciences or a related field; field camp experience required.
  • Demonstrated ability and willingness to work in remote mining and exploration environments.
Safety, Environmental, and Compliance
  • Demonstrate an uncompromising commitment to safety and environmental stewardship.
  • Adhere to all company safety policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements.
  • Identify, report, and correct unsafe conditions and behaviors.
  • Promote a culture of safe and responsible work practices.
  • Nevada Preferred (Remote Site-Based Role)
  • Open to candidates located anywhere in the United States who are willing to relocate and work in a remote mining environment.
