Geita Gold Mine, Tanzania EMPLOYMENT STATUS Full Time

OBJECTIVE OF THE ROLE

• Ensure reliable grade control models are generated in a timely manner and made available to support effective and efficient planning and design of ore minable perimeters for open pit operations and ore minable stopes for underground operations, supporting achievable production budgets and de-risking delivery of the annual gold production budget in line with the Gold Mine Strategic Business Plan.
• ROLE ACCOUNTABILITIES Foster Grade Control team compliance with site HSE policies, protocols and standards through active participation in geology toolbox meetings and monitoring of leading indicators such as Take5, workplace inspections, critical control verifications and safety observations.
• Develop the skills and technical capability of the grade control modelling team by assigning work, monitoring quality and progress, providing technical support, and recommending training programs aligned to business requirements.
• Lead and guide the site grade control team to ensure compliance with SOPs for grade control modelling workflows for both open pit and underground operations in line with AGA grade control modelling protocols, standards and QAQC requirements.
• Establish standard ways of working for the Gold Mine grade control team and closely monitor adherence to grade control workflow processes and modelling practices for both open pit and underground projects.
• Review generated grade control models, including validation of laboratory and drillhole data, interpretation of high-grade and low-grade wireframes, assessment of metal domains and trends, and review of geostatistical estimation parameters to support model reliability.
• Organize and run comprehensive internal peer review meetings for each grade control model update before release.
• Release grade control models in a timely manner in line with strategic mining sequence and ensure effective communication of released models to all stakeholders.
• Ensure Resource Planning Models and Integrated Planning Models are updated with the latest geological information in line with strategic mine design requirements.
• Monitor and analyse grade control model performance against resource models, mine design and mine actuals, and establish recovery and resource conversion factors for effective material management and planning adjustments.
• Evaluate mine designs to ensure more than 90% of declared grade control resource is included within mine design to optimize ore recovery.
• Assess ore movement from designed perimeters or stopes to stockpile and ROMPAD to understand grade control model performance across the production value chain and support effective blending strategy.
• Provide recommended adjustments to designed perimeters and stope designs to optimize ore recovery.
• Provide geological risk and opportunity inputs on material type, expected tonnes, grade and metallurgical recovery to planning engineers during open pit weekly planning meetings and underground stope note meetings.
• Inform the Evaluation Superintendent in a timely manner of risks to plan identified through model performance analysis and suggest possible mitigation approaches.
• Prepare weekly evaluation grade control meetings to highlight the progress and status of grade control programs and prepare monthly mine-to-mill reconciliation reports in line with grade control model performance.
