Description

Job Summary:

NewRange is looking for a motivated Geologist to support drilling programs at the NorthMet and Sunrise Cu-Ni-PGE projects, located in northern Minnesota. Reporting to the Geoscience Supervisor, the successful candidate will be primarily responsible for logging drill core, assistance with drill program execution and delivering geological interpretations that contribute to resource modelling and mine planning. The successful candidate can expect to participate in field activities from Hoyt Lakes to Babbitt, ensuring the safe and efficient execution of the drill programs. Field work for this temporary role is anticipated to begin mid January 2026 and end around late December 2026.

At NewRange Copper Nickel (NewRange), we act responsibly and strive to make a positive contribution to health and safety, environment, and communities through our activities. Being welcomed where we operate demands respecting Human Rights and Native American Rights, responsible social, economic, and environmental performance, and a commitment to sustainable business practice in everything we do. The successful candidate will work out of the NewRange office and core shed in Babbitt, Minnesota.

Overview:

Located in the historic iron range mining region of northeastern Minnesota, NewRange is a 50:50 joint venture of subsidiaries of Teck American Inc. (Teck) and PolyMet Mining Corp. (Glencore) that is advancing two major copper-nickel-platinum-palladium deposits, NorthMet and Sunrise. Project activities range from readying the feasibility stage NorthMet project for a production decision pending clearance of mine permits to advancing the nearby Sunrise project to pre-feasibility studies and permitting. NewRange is committed to unlocking a new domestic supply chain of critical metals for the transition to a low-carbon economy and positioning Minnesota as a world leader in sustainable mineral resource development.

NewRange will be conducting drilling programs in 2026 to further define the resource and to provide geological, geotechnical, and hydrogeological information that will ultimately inform an updated mine plan. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a rapidly growing and dedicated team committed to working safely while incorporating input from stakeholders, consultants, and regulators to advance a world-class development opportunity in one of the world’s most prospective metallogenic belts for copper, nickel, and platinum group metal mineralization.
