Senior Geologist - Generative Opportunity Mapping at Anglo American

Job Description:

• We are seeking a Senior Generative Geologist – Opportunity Mapping.The core purpose of this role is to deliver actionable opportunities for superior value discovery; through systematic search space reduction within prioritised search space. This will be in collaboration with the Americas Generative and regional Discovery teams through mapping of technical quality, exploration maturity, explorability, above ground opportunities and risks (AGORA) and land access.

Key role requirements:

• Deliver actionable portfolio opportunities for investment and/or staking on an annual basis.
• Focused search space reduction and opportunity mapping within prioritized provinces and segments.
• Work collaboratively to support holistic mapping of opportunity space and drive project entry into actionable superior value discovery opportunities.
• Drive understanding of controls to development of superior value deposits at the district to prospect scale.
• Actively monitor and implement appropriate technology and innovation with application to search space reduction and opportunity space generation
• Actively monitor commercial opportunities in prioritised search space and support further development of intelligence systems for tracking the commercial opportunity space
• Develop and maintain relationships with 3rd parties holding land positions within prioritised search space.

Qualifications:

Formal Qualifications

• BSc in Geology.
