Exploration Superintendent

About Us

We are an exploration company focused on unlocking the next generation of gold and copper discoveries in Papua New Guinea. Our foundation is built on district-scale landholdings in proven mineral belts, strategically positioned near world-class operations.

The current portfolio includes projects such as Wild Dog, Kesar/Arau and Tinga, high-impact targets with the potential for large-scale porphyry and epithermal systems. Our strategy is to advance these opportunities through technically rigorous exploration programs, converting high-potential targets into meaningful discoveries.

With strong financial backing and a leadership team experienced in major discoveries and resource development, we have both the capital and expertise to explore at scale while delivering value for all stakeholders.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Exploration Superintendent to join our team. This is a technical leadership position where your expertise will directly influence exploration strategy and execution across multiple PNG projects. Unlike traditional large-company roles, this position offers flexibility and autonomy, you’ll be based in Brisbane with regular trips to PNG, working closely with the VP Exploration and senior management team to shape programs and technical direction.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and drive exploration strategy across porphyry and epithermal projects in PNG.

Lead geological mapping, sampling, data integration, and drill targeting.

Oversee drilling programs, QA/QC protocols, and technical reporting (including NI 43-101 style deliverables).

Work collaboratively with senior management, consultants, and recognised industry experts.

Mentor and support geology teams in-country, promoting technical excellence.

Uphold the highest safety, ESG, and operational standards in challenging field environments.

What We Offer

Flexibility: No fixed roster. Remain Brisbane-based with field trips into PNG as required.

Impact: Work directly with decision-makers—your input will shape exploration programs at the highest level.

Opportunity: Exposure to exceptional ground with the budget, backing, and freedom to explore properly.

Reward: Competitive salary, annual bonus, and meaningful equity incentives.

Team: Join a small, high-performing exploration group with the potential to make a discovery of global significance.
