Our client is a high-performing underground base metal operation in Western Australia entering an exciting phase of sustained production growth and underground development. The operation hosts a complex and highly continuous mineralised system comprising two key structural domains:
* The Apron Zone – a broad, sub‐horizontal multi‐lode system developed along favourable bedding planes
* The Core Zone – an underlying vertical feeder system consisting of stacked fault‐controlled lodes extending from depth into the Apron Zone
This is a technically rewarding orebody where mineralisation is strongly structurally controlled, requiring high‐quality geological interpretation, proactive grade control, and strong collaboration with underground operations.
With modern underground infrastructure, an expanding geology team, and a strong focus on orebody knowledge and production optimisation, this role presents an outstanding opportunity for an experienced Underground Mine Geologist ready to step into a senior technical leadership position.
