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

The Role

- 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

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.
