Ivanhoe Mines
Provide strategic and technical leadership for the acquisition, management, interpretation and integration of geochemical data across the Ivanhoe Group of Companies. Emphasis is placed on strata-bound, sediment-hosted copper systems, where subtle geochemical signatures and basin-scale processes are critical to exploration success. The selected candidate will collaborate closely with geoscience teams to ensure the extraction of high-value, relevant geochemical insights from both exploration and operational datasets, applying best practices in line with Ivanhoe’s organizational and corporate governance standards. The primary objective of this role is to enhance Ivanhoe’s capability to discover tier-one ore bodies using geochemistry workflows, particularly in areas under sand cover.
