• Conduct market, commodity, transaction and competitive research to identify emerging opportunities and inform strategic decision-making.
• Develop and update a pipeline of relevant mining companies, projects, transactions and strategic opportunities.
• Coordinate financial, technical, legal and commercial due diligence with internal teams, external advisors and transaction counterparties.
• Manage transaction processes, administering NDAs, data rooms, information requests and supporting documentation throughout evaluation, financing and due diligence processes.
• Prepare investment cases, valuation materials, financing analyses, briefing documents and presentations for the Vice President, executive leadership and Board.
• Partner with technical teams to incorporate geological, engineering, permitting, development and operating assumptions into financial models and strategic analysis.
• Collaborate with Investor Relations to ensure strategic initiatives, financings and transactions are accurately reflected in investor-facing communications.

• Background in corporate development, investment banking, private equity, equity research, transaction advisory, mining finance or related analytical roles, ideally within the mining or natural resources sector.
• Strong financial modelling and valuation capabilities, including mining project economics, comparable-company analysis, precedent transactions and financing scenarios.
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate mining assets, investments and strategic opportunities across exploration and development-stage projects.
• Working knowledge of M&A, joint ventures, strategic investments, debt and equity financing and broader corporate transaction processes.
• Ability to interpret and synthesize technical, financial and commercial information into clear analysis and actionable recommendations.
• Hands-on experience supporting due diligence, financing or transaction processes involving internal teams, external advisors and other stakeholders.
