performed by consultants and 3rd party engineering contractors on behalf

of NexGen. The Project Metallurgist will work collaboratively with the

NexGen and EPCM team to ensure technical excellence is achieved.

The Project Metallurgist will functionally report to NexGen Engineering for

functions of their work that pertain to the Rook I Project.

The Project Metallurgist will oversee and guide the development of process

engineering deliverables ensuring they meet the project’s scope and are

delivered on schedule and budget. Such engineering deliverables included

process plants, effluent treatment plants, acid plants, metallurgical and

analytical laboratories, and related surface infrastructure.

The Project Metallurgist will coordinate in-house metallurgical test work

performed by 3rd party laboratories and consultants to inform decisions of

engineering design, fulfill requirements of environmental risk assessment

and licensing.

The role requires the Project Metallurgist to develop solutions in areas of
