Sun Silver is seeking a motivated Junior Exploration Geologist to support core logging activities as part of the Company’s 2026 ~10,000m core drilling program at the Maverick Springs Project, located in the Elko region of Nevada.

This is a hands-on, site-based role suited to an early-career geologist looking to build technical capability within a highly experienced team, working on a large-scale and evolving mineral system in a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Specific gravity measurements
  • Coordination and dispatch of samples to laboratory
  • Supporting additional geological and field tasks as required

About You

  • 2–4 years’ experience in mineral exploration
  • 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.
