• Contribute to safe, efficient, and high-quality field program execution.
• Support compliance with applicable exploration, data management, and reporting standards, including JORC, NI 43-101, and S-K 1300 where relevant.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams to integrate geological, geophysical, geochemical, GIS, and remote sensing data into practical exploration interpretations.

2. Geological Interpretation & Reporting

• Prepare maps, figures, sections, summaries, and technical inputs for exploration reports, proposals, presentations, and client deliverables.
• Support geological interpretation, target generation, prospectivity reviews, and exploration planning.
• Assist with the review and compilation of historical exploration data.
• Contribute to clear, well-supported technical writing that communicates exploration results, risks, opportunities, and recommendations.

3. Data Management, QA/QC & Modelling

• Support geological data collection, validation, organization, and QA/QC processes.
• Assist with geological modelling and interpretation using tools such as Leapfrog, QGIS, and related geoscience software.
• Maintain accurate geological databases, mapping files, drillhole data, sample records, and supporting project documentation.
• Help ensure exploration outputs are organized, traceable, and suitable for future technical review, Mineral Resource estimation support, and decision-making.

4. Field & Multidisciplinary Collaboration

• Participate in field-based exploration activities across a range of commodities, deposit types, and jurisdictions.
• Work collaboratively with geologists, geophysicists, GIS and data specialists, environmental teams, and project managers.
• Support communication between field teams, technical leads, and clients.
• Contribute to a professional, safety-conscious, and solutions-focused project environment.

5. Proposal & Business Development Support

• Provide technical input to proposals, scopes of work, desktop reviews, and exploration program designs.
• Assist senior team members with background research, data compilation, technical positioning, and cost inputs.
