- Supporting additional geological and field tasks as required
About You

- 1–2 years’ hands-on core logging experience
- Strong attention to detail and disciplined logging practices
- Inquisitive mindset with a desire to understand mineral systems and contribute to ongoing learning
- Experience in Nevada or sediment-hosted deposits preferred, but not essential
Role Details
- Based in the Elko region, Nevada
- Reporting to the Core Shed Manager within a highly experienced technical team
- Site-based role supporting active drilling operations
- Engagement as an independent contractor (own company required)
About Maverick Springs
Maverick Springs hosts a 539Moz AgEq Mineral Resource and represents a large-scale sedimentary rock-hosted Ag-Au-Sb system within Paleozoic calcareous sediments.
The deposit is located just off the projection of the Carlin Trend and approximately 17 miles NNE of the Bald Mountain Mine, positioning it within one of the most prospective mining regions in the United States.
This is a strong opportunity to contribute to the advancement of a significant U.S. silver project while developing your technical capability in a dynamic exploration environment.
