About the role

You will provide input into the development and implementation of the Stratum Machine Learning technology to ensure accurate and reliable geometallurgical models are generated.
The role requires a proficient understanding of geometallurgical concepts for a variety of block models.
We using proprietary algorithms adapted for neural networks, to produce 3D models that are significantly more accurate than traditional Kriging models.

Lead an expanding metallurgical team, providing expertise on mineral processing methodologies, and ensuring the quality control of all geometallurgical models.
StratumAI creates advanced geometallurgical and mineral resource block models that empower operating mining companies to make smarter, more efficient decisions for mine planning and ore control.

A broad understanding of Mineral Process Engineering with experience with mill circuits (comminution), flotation and heap leach (copper or gold) operations,
Extensive experience experience in mineral processing including evaluation of third party operations (>20years). working in both open pit and underground mining environments.
Extensive knowledge of copper and gold deposit types
Knowledge of mineral resource modelling software platforms and data analysis tools.
Familiarity with mining regulations and reporting standards in Australia (JORC) and Canada (NI43-101).
Implementing rigorous audit and quality control procedures for clients data, new collection procedure (if required) and the Stratum resource models to ensure model accuracy and reliability.

CP/QP for multiple copper or gold deposit types commonly found in Australia or Canada.
Technical proficiency in another language.
Worked for a start-up or mining consultancy group.
Our 3D maps predict how gold, silver, copper, etc. are distributed (and how much!) using only small amounts of data, unconventional data processing, and proprietary ML protocols.
Our work directly affects how much money a mine is going to make next week/month/year while reducing waste/cost.
We're supported by Founders Fund, Aramco, Builders VC, Y Combinator, and Ilya Sutskever, former Chief Scientist at OpenAI, who have recognized the potential of our industry-disrupting technology.

Our long-term vision is to build a ML/AI engine capable of modelling many of the critical decision within a mining operation.
We are looking for highly competent resource geologist to help make this vision a reality.
We're Stratum, a mining software company with machine learning models as our core product.
Our long-term vision is to build a massive AI engine capable of making every decision in a mining operation, down to moving individual rocks.
If you're an exceptional engineer interested to helping make this vision a reality we look forward to reviewing your application and working together.
