Detail information about job Underground Manager - Deflector. Terms and conditions vacancy

  • Drive continued mining production success
  • Lead a team of talented Engineers and Surveyors
  • Take ownership over and accountability for targets and budgets

Doray Minerals Ltd (ASX:DRM) is an Australian Gold and Copper Producer.

The Company’s Deflector Gold Copper Project is located in the southern Murchison region of WA near Yalgoo, 450km north of Perth and 160km east of Geraldton. First production from the Deflector open pit occurred in May 2016 and the transition to solely underground production was completed by June 2017.

Deflector is a relatively shallow, narrow vein, underground mine. The ore is located in a series of structurally controlled lodes and is open for extensions at depth and along strike. A purpose built processing facility was constructed to recover gold in bullion and produce a copper gold concentrate via flotation methods.

Recent in and near mine exploration has been successful making the high-grade Link Lode and Da Vinci discoveries within and adjacent to the current Deflector workings. The mineralisation characteristics of these new lodes appear similar to the current Deflector ore and will integrate seamlessly with existing operations extending both the annualised output and project life. Work is underway to fully define these exciting new discoveries as well as provide suitable data to adequately assess their economic potential and commence extraction as supplementary ore to Deflector.

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to build on the current success of our Deflector operations as we drive to exceed our forecast production targets. Reporting to the Registered Manager, we are looking for a highly experienced, talented and results-driven Underground Manager with a passion to succeed.

  • Mining Contractor claims assessment, approvals, variations;
  • Continually improve the operations by developing, mentoring and inspiring your team;
  • Act as a Senior representative of the Company, including liaising with external stakeholders; and
  • Act in the role of Alternate or Deputy Registered Manager if required from time to time.
