About the Role:
This is a remote-based position with significant field rotations focused primarily in Nevada, with potential work extending into surrounding states (OR, ID, UT, AZ, and occasionally NM/CO/CA). Field rotations follow a 10-on/4-off or 15-on/7-off schedule, with quarterly travel to the company's Colorado office.
What You'll Do:
Conduct field exploration activities including geological mapping, outcrop and rock chip sampling, soil geochemistry, and structural analysis to identify and characterize mineralized targets
Manage and interpret drill programs, including core/RC logging, sample QA/QC, and integration of assay results into geological models
Analyze and synthesize geochemical, geophysical, and geological datasets to generate and prioritize drill targets
Support regulatory, permitting, and technical reporting requirements while maintaining accurate field documentation
What We're Looking For:
5-15 years of experience in mineral exploration, ideally with a gold-focused background
Strong field exploration skill set with a genuine passion for boots-on-the-ground work
Comfort with extended field rotations and remote work environments
Experience across various deposit styles and exploration techniques is a plus
Compensation & Benefits:
Base salary: Depends on experience.
Annual cash bonus: 20-35% of base salary, tied to individual and company performance
One-time stock option grant upon starting
3-4 weeks PTO
Company vehicle provided for work use (truck based in Reno), with mileage/travel expenses covered
If you're an experienced exploration geologist looking for a hands-on role with real ownership over target generation and field programs, we'd love to hear from you.
