Team Lead Technical Training, Red Chris Block Cave

Red Chris is a gold and copper mine located in the Tahltan Territory, northern British Columbia. The mine has been in operation since 2015 and has been operated by Newmont since 2023. It is now transitioning from open pit to underground block caving-an innovative method that extends mine life while reducing environmental impact.

This transition represents one of Newmont’s most significant global capital projects and will create technically advanced roles and opportunities to work alongside global experts. We are committed to partnering with the Tahltan Nation and local communities, ensuring the project delivers long-term social, environmental, and economic benefits.
