Overview

Company Description

  • We have an exciting opportunity for a Geometallurgist. Establish and maintain a geometallurgical borehole database and gather relevant data according to Kumba Iron Ore's Exploration and Resource Geology guidelines, as part of the 2.9.2 legal appointment.

We're the best in the industry.

You'll make us better.

Guided by our purpose and our values, we enable both high performance and purposeful action as we aim to "re-imagine mining to improve people's lives", delivering the metals and minerals that make modern life possible – from mobile phones to medicines.

Kumba Iron Ore

We produce high-grade iron ore, the key component in steel widely used in construction and manufacturing across the world. Our activities include all aspects – exploration; mining; processing and blending; shipping; marketing and selling. In South Africa, we have mining operations in the Northern Cape province, as well as a head office in Centurion, Gauteng, and a port operation in Saldanha Bay, Western Cape.

Role and Responsibilities

This role is in Discovery & Geosciences (GEO) NC department on a band 6 (D1) level reporting to the Section Manager Exploration & Geometallurgy. The responsibilities of the Geometallurgist include, but are not limited to :

  • Demonstrate role modeling and support a workplace culture where safety and health for the site are paramount.
  • Support an environment for team members to challenge and act on unsafe behaviours without repercussions.
  • Keep environmental impact within statutory requirements to ensure compliance with statutory requirements is met.
  • Active participation in VFLs, Risk Assessments and close-out of Safety Actions.
  • Geometallurgical data gathering : assist the Senior Exploration Geologist in planning a spatially representative geometallurgical sample acquisition campaign; generate geometallurgical borehole data by ensuring the Kumba Geometallurgical protocol is catered for in the exploration programme and overseeing that sampling, sample preparation, and test work for geometallurgical purposes are conducted according to the protocol by performing the required QA / QC checks.
  • Capture geometallurgical borehole data in relational geometallurgical tables in the borehole database.
  • Geometallurgical data analyses : analyse geometallurgical data to understand statistical and spatial variability; correlate proxy results with laboratory test results to establish relationships to enable subsequent time and cost-efficient generation of metallurgical point data.
  • Structural mapping and data acquisition : deposit-scale structural data acquisition from inside the Sishen pit and regional and local maps / aerial photographs; in-pit measurement of structural information such as joint sets, faults, folds and bedding monthly; capturing structural geology data from core exploration boreholes.
  • Structural interpretations : deposit-scale structural interpretations in a 3D modelling software package like Leapfrog to define the structural controls for ore distribution.
  • Ad-hoc projects : assist with geosciences-related development projects; assist in generating input required for projects generated by Kumba Iron Ore, which can, in the future, complement the operation's bottom line and act as the liaison between the Project Team and the Geology Section on site to provide geological input per project schedule.
  • This role is part of Anglo American and aligns with the company’s safety, inclusion and diversity values.

    Qualifications

  • Grade 12
  • Relevant National Diploma NQF6 / B Tech / B-Degree : Geotechnical (NQF7) – Advantageous
  • Advanced Certificate
  • SA Drivers Licence (Code EB / E)
  • Registered with the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP) would be advantageous.
  • Technical Knowledge

  • 3-5 years of experience in Production and Exploration Geology.
