Roles & Responsibilities of a mine geologist in Western Australia

Geological Mapping & Sampling

Mine geologists conduct detailed geological mapping to identify and document rock formations, structural features, and mineralisation patterns within the mine. They collect and analyse rock and drill core samples, ensuring precise recording and classification to maintain data integrity for resource evaluation. ​

Data Interpretation & Reporting

Analysing geological data is central to the role. Mine geologists interpret geochemical, geophysical, and drilling data to assess ore quality and distribution, guiding mining strategies. They prepare detailed technical reports, cross-sections, and geological models, providing reliable insights for decision-making. ​

Drilling Supervision & Logging

Overseeing drilling programs, mine geologists ensure sample collection aligns with project objectives. They are responsible for logging drill cores and cuttings, recording lithology, mineralisation, and alteration patterns to inform resource estimates. Their input is vital in refining drilling targets and optimising extraction efforts.

Mine Planning & Design

Collaborating with mining engineers, mine geologists contribute geological insights to mine planning and design. They assist in developing extraction plans that optimise ore recovery while ensuring safety and operational efficiency.

Environmental Compliance & Sustainability

Mine Geologists assess and monitor the environmental impacts of mining activities. They ensure compliance with environmental regulations and develop strategies to mitigate negative effects, promoting sustainable mining practices. ​

Safety & Regulatory Compliance

Safety is paramount in mining operations. Mine geologists adhere to workplace health and safety standards, ensuring all activities comply with site regulations and environmental policies. They participate in risk assessments, safety briefings, and proactively identify and mitigate hazards in the field. ​

Team Collaboration

Working closely with engineers, drillers, and other professionals, mine geologists contribute to multidisciplinary mining operations. Strong communication and teamwork are essential to align mining activities with overall project goals. ​

Communication & Teamwork

Working collaboratively with site managers, drilling crews, metallurgists, and mining engineers, mine geologists serve as vital connectors across operational teams. Exceptional communication and teamwork abilities are fundamental, as they translate complex geological data into actionable insights, ensuring mining activities remain aligned with production targets and resource optimisation goals.
