Project Mine Geologist

About Black Cat Syndicate

Black Cat Syndicate’s Lynx and Regulus discoveries highlight a broader, more prospective gold system at Paulsens, with Lynx representing a new style of high-grade mineralisation that remains open and provides a blueprint for further discoveries.

Importantly, Black Cat has now fully repaid all invested capital, including the purchase price for Paulsens, demonstrating the mine has already proven itself while offering significant future upside from these exciting discoveries.

If this sounds like something you want to be involved in, we are looking for a Project Mine Geologist who is not afraid of a challenge!

We value “the team helps each other out”, so this position requires someone prepared to be both hands-on and strategic, to meet safety, production, and cost targets.
