Job description
Position Overview
The Temporary Core / RC Logger plays a key role in supporting the geology team by accurately documenting, organizing, and maintaining geological information from both active and historic drilling programs. This position is essential to ensuring high-quality geological datasets that guide exploration and mine-planning decisions.
The role involves logging RC chips and drill core, relogging archived materials to modern standards, capturing high-resolution core photographs, and maintaining well-organized core storage areas. The Core / RC Logger works closely with geologists and technical staff to ensure that geological data is accurately recorded and maintained in digital systems.
Key Responsibilities
• Log RC chips and drill core, recording lithology, alteration, mineralization, and other geological characteristics.
• Re-log archived drill core and RC materials to update historical data using current logging standards.
• Capture high-resolution photographs of drill core and maintain organized digital records.
• Maintain well-organized core storage facilities and sample areas.
• Enter geological data into digital systems such as Excel, Acquire, or other geological databases.
• Assist with sampling, labeling, bagging, and preparation of materials for assay submission.
• Conduct sample pickups and occasional drill site visits as required.
• Identify and report discrepancies in historic or current geological datasets.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and efficient core logging facility.
• Communicate effectively with geologists, technicians, and other team members.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to enhance safety, efficiency, and data quality.
• Perform additional duties as assigned based on project needs and individual skills.
Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Geology or a related field preferred.
• Knowledge of rock types, alteration styles, and mineral identification in RC chips and drill core.
• Previous experience with RC or core logging, geological fieldwork, or exploration activities preferred.
• Familiarity with geological terminology, logging methods, and data entry systems.
• Experience with geological databases or logging software is an asset.
• Strong attention to detail, accuracy, and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while contributing effectively to a team.
• Ability to manage shifting priorities in a fast-paced exploration environment.
• Valid driver's license and ability to work at remote field locations.
Work Environment / Physical Demands
• Ability to lift and move core boxes weighing up to 50 lbs repeatedly.
• Frequent bending, stooping, kneeling, and repetitive motions.
• Ability to stand or walk for extended periods on uneven ground.
• May involve climbing ladders or stairs and unloading RC samples from drill rigs.
• Required use of PPE, including respirators for specific activities.
• Work performed at an active rural mine site in Eureka, Nevada.
• Logging may take place in a core shack, warehouse, or outdoor areas depending on conditions.
• Exposure to noise, dust, heavy equipment, and weather extremes including heat, cold, wind, and dust.
• Work schedule consists of 10-hour shifts, potentially including nights, weekends, holidays, and coverage for employee absences.
• Strong commitment to safety, teamwork, and maintaining a positive work environment.
Benefits
