Pioneer Mining Company is an exploration and precious metals mining company. We have secured ownership (not a lease) on one of the largest patented gold deposits in western Alaska. The current team (geologists, geoscientists, engineers, operators, and mining executives) have a combined 75 years in the placer mining industry. We are looking for strong motivated individuals to join us on an adventure/job. We are based out of Anchorage, Alaska and mine in the summer months (ability to earn a year's salary in ~4months). These gold claims are in interior Alaska and are REMOTE, with chartered fly in access the only means of access. Before our ownership the claims have been operated by a family run operation for over 28 years. PMC has expanded the operation to a small commercial mining company with the focus on a tight knit group of like-minded employees who love the outdoors and mining for gold. You would be joining our team of passionate miners and be afforded opportunities not just as a mechanic but also as miner. The opportunities to get out of the shop and participate in the onsite workflow are there if you so choose.
Here are some of the specifics related to this job. Please contact Peter, the managing partner for details:
· Relocation expenses paid for from anywhere in Alaska, lower 48, or Canada (possibly further).
· You would be based out of Anchorage where we have a house in town as "home base". From Anchorage we fly on private charters to the mine site 200miles SW over Denali National Park.
· Must be a team player and able to assist in camp operations.
· As a Haul Truck Driver, you must have a current copy of a valid class A CDL per state regulations. This includes a valid medical certification through the Department of Transportation.
· Haul truck driver certification preferred.
· Must be proficient in operating the articulated dump truck to transport materials across the mine site location.
· Knowledge of operating capabilities of the truck and materials being transported.
· Expertise on inspecting the truck before and after each use to ensure it is in good working condition “pre-trips”
· Physical stamina and the ability to lift and carry heavy tools/ equipment needed for operations.
· Must have a willingness to work outside of haul truck “hands on” to ensure the overall function of the mine site.
· Housing (Cabin to yourself), food (you can request special dietary needs), and fresh mountain spring water, are all provided.
· Camp has a wash house with men's and women's showers, bathrooms, hot water, hot showers, washer dryers, towels, blankets, toiletries, anything you could possibly need.
· We have 2 forms of internet service (both are satellite) Hughs net and newly purchased Starlink internet. No cell service.
· You will be provided with your own truck or ATV for transportation around camp and the mine pits.
· Pictures of camp provided to qualified applicants so you can get a lay of the land. This mine/camp is in an amazingly beautiful part of interior Alaska. If you enjoy the being out in the mountains with moose, bears, wolves, Linx, beavers, and bald eagles (and a few mosquitos! All cabins are sealed tight and have windows with screens), you will enjoy waking up for work out here.
