Senior Geologist, MRE
Description
The Role
Torex is building a specialized Mineral Resource Estimation (MRE) team within Corporate Technical Services, and we’re looking for a Senior Geologist, MRE to help shape how we model and disclose our resources across a growing portfolio of assets. In this role, you will be a key technical specialist responsible for developing, maintaining, documenting, and reconciling the corporate mineral resource models that underpin our NI 43-101 disclosure, reserves, mine planning, and M&A growth. This is ideal for a geologist who loves the technical side of the work, enjoys complex modelling and geostatistics, and wants to deepen their expertise as a subject matter expert.
The Company
Torex Gold Resources Inc. is a Canadian mining company engaged in the exploration, development, and production of gold, copper, and silver from its flagship Morelos Complex in Guerrero, which is currently Mexico’s largest single gold producer. The Company also owns the advanced-stage Los Reyes gold-silver project in Sinaloa, Mexico, and recently acquired a portfolio of early-stage exploration properties, including the Batopilas and Guigui projects in Chihuahua, Mexico, and the Gryphon and Medicine Springs projects in Nevada, USA.
The Company’s key strategic objectives are to deliver Media Luna to full production and build EPO; optimize Morelos production and costs; grow reserves and resources; pursue disciplined growth and capital allocation; retain and attract best industry talent; and be an industry leader in responsible mining. In addition to realizing the full potential of the Morelos Property, the Company continues to seek opportunities to acquire assets that enable diversification and deliver value to shareholders.
Qualifications
Education:

- A Master’s degree in Geology, Geostatistics, or Mineral Resource Evaluation is a strong asset.
Experience:
- 10+ years of relevant experience in the preparation of mineral resource estimates
- Good working knowledge of NI 43-101, CIM Estimation of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Best Practice Guidelines, and CIM Definition Standards for MRMR.
- Significant hands-on experience in:
- Geological modelling/Mineral resource estimation/Reconciliation between resource models, short-term models, and production.
- Experience gained at operating mine sites as well as (ideally) at the corporate or consulting level.
- Strong experience in gold and precious metals (gold, silver, copper).
- Comfortable working across multiple deposit styles (e.g., porphyry, epithermal, skarn, CRD/carbonate replacement).
Software & Technical Skills:
- Advanced proficiency in Leapfrog for geological and grade modelling (non-negotiable).
- Experience with MineSight or similar mine planning/modelling software.
- Experience with geostatistical software such as Supervisor and/or RMSP (or equivalent).
- Experience with Python coding, or a demonstrated aptitude and willingness to learn Python-based modelling workflows.
- Solid practical understanding of geostatistics as applied to resource estimation (variography, domaining, kriging/simulation, search strategies, etc.).
Professional Registration & QP Path:
- Eligible for registration with a professional association (e.g., P. Geo or equivalent).
- Already a Qualified Person (QP) for NI 43-101 purposes, or clearly on track to obtain QP status in the near term.
Key Responsibilities
Mineral Resource Modelling & Estimation
- Build, update, and maintain long-term mineral resource models for Torex’s portfolio (e.g., ELG, Media Luna, EPO, Los Reyes, and future projects).
- Use Leapfrog (must-have) and other tools (e.g., MineSight, Supervisor, RMSP) to develop robust 3D geological and estimation models.
- Ensure models are fully documented, including assumptions, parameters, domain definitions, and changes between versions.
- Ensure all work is compliant with relevant standards (e.g., NI 43-101, SK-1300, JORC) and supports QP sign-off.
Reconciliation & Continuous Improvement
- Reconcile corporate MRE models against:
- Short-term / site-based models used for mine planning, and
- Actual production performance.
- Analyze variances, identify root causes, and recommend updates to improve resource models and assumptions.
- Feed reconciliation insights back into the modelling workflow to continually improve predictability and reliability.
Data & Governance
- Work closely with Exploration and Mine Geology to ensure data integrity (drilling, logging, databases, geological interpretation, and domains).
- Support the structured handover of modelling responsibilities from site teams to the corporate MRE team, contributing to a clear, documented workflow.
- Help define and implement standards, templates, and governance for resource estimation across the business.
- Ensure geological and resource models are aligned with operational, strategic, and growth requirements.
Technical Disclosure & News Releases
- Support validation of data and statements used in exploration and resource-related press releases.
- Perform data checks and reasonableness reviews to help ensure the accuracy and consistency of information being externally disclosed.
