Community Liaison Officer

About the Company The mining industry has steadily become worse at finding new ore deposits, requiring >10X more capital to make discoveries compared to 30 years ago. The easy-to-find, near-surface deposits have largely been found, and the industry has chronically under-invested in new exploration technology, relying on the manual techniques of yesteryear – even as demand accelerates for copper, lithium, and other metals to build electric vehicles, renewable energy, and data centers. KoBold, a privately held company, builds AI models for mineral exploration and deploys those models alongside our novel sensors to guide decisions on KoBold owned and operated exploration programs. In the six years since founding, KoBold has become by far both the largest independent mineral exploration company and the largest exploration technology developer. Our data scientists and software engineers, who come from leading technology companies, jointly lead exploration programs with our renowned exploration geologists. KoBold has proven its first discovery with materially less capital than the industry average and found one of the best copper deposits ever discovered: the copper is far more concentrated than the global average of copper mines, and this asset alone is expected to generate meaningful revenue for decades. KoBold has a portfolio of more than 60 other projects, each of which has the potential for another high-quality discovery. KoBold is seeking to engage a Community Liaison Officer (CLO) who will serve as the primary interface between the company and host communities by building trusted relationships, facilitating effective two-way communication, managing community issues and grievances, and supporting the implementation of community development and social investment initiatives that contribute to sustainable local development and social license to operate.
