What are the roles & responsibilities of an exploration geologist?
Our exploration geologists apply technical expertise and field experience to identify and assess mineral resources, ensuring exploration programs deliver accurate and actionable results. Their key responsibilities include:
Geological Mapping & Sampling
Exploration Geologists conduct detailed geological mapping to identify rock formations, structural features, and mineralisation patterns. They collect and document soil, rock, and drill core samples, ensuring all data is properly recorded and classified for further analysis. Precision and consistency are crucial for maintaining data integrity and supporting accurate resource evaluation.
Data Interpretation & Reporting
Analysing geological data is a core function of the role. Exploration geologists interpret geochemical, geophysical, and drilling data to assess mineral potential and guide exploration strategies. They prepare detailed technical reports, cross-sections, and geological models, ensuring project teams have access to reliable insights for decision-making.
Drilling Supervision & Logging
Exploration geologists oversee drilling programs, ensuring sample collection aligns with your project objectives. They are responsible for logging drill core and cuttings, recording lithology, mineralisation, and alteration patterns to inform resource estimates. Their input is essential in refining drilling targets and optimising exploration efforts.
Site Preparation & Field Operations
Exploration geologists assist in planning and setting up exploration sites, including marking drill locations and preparing logistics for fieldwork. They ensure that survey grids, sampling lines, and field stations are established efficiently to support data collection. Post-exploration, they help in rehabilitating drill sites in compliance with environmental regulations.
Equipment Use & Geological Software
Exploration Geologists operate a range of field equipment, including GPS units, magnetic susceptibility meters, and geochemical analysers. They also use advanced geological modelling software, such as Leapfrog, Micromine, and GIS platforms, to analyse and visualise subsurface data, enhancing exploration decision-making.
Safety & Compliance
Safety is paramount in exploration work. Exploration Geologists adhere to workplace health and safety (WHS) standards, ensuring all activities comply with site regulations and environmental policies. They participate in risk assessments, toolbox talks, and safety briefings, proactively identifying and mitigating hazards in the field.
Logistics & Field Coordination
Exploration geologists support logistical planning, ensuring exploration teams have the necessary tools, transport, and resources to operate efficiently in remote locations. They assist with managing sample shipments, equipment inventory, and coordinating drill schedules, keeping field operations organised and on track.
Team Collaboration
Working closely with senior geologists, drillers, field assistants, and engineers, Exploration Geologists contribute to multidisciplinary exploration programs. Strong communication and teamwork are essential, as they play a key role in ensuring exploration activities align with overall project goals.
