Artemis Gold Inc., listed on the TSX Venture exchange, is a well-financed, growth-oriented gold development company aimed at creating shareholder value through the identification, acquisition and development of gold properties in mining friendly jurisdictions. Our current focus is the recently acquired Blackwater Gold Project in central British Columbia approximately 160km southwest of Prince George and 450km northeast of Vancouver.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to join an entrepreneurial organization with strong financials and depth of experience that is focused on technical excellence without the bureaucracy of larger firms. You will have the ability to make a significant contribution to shaping the internal policies and practices of the Company’s Finance function and support the project team as the Company pursues the disciplined development of the Blackwater Project. Blackwater is an advanced-stage development project which received its environmental assessment approvals in 2019 and is proceeding towards permitting, with the goal of commencing construction in 2022. The Company published a pre-feasibility study in August 2020 which reflects proven and probably reserves of 8Moz of gold at 0.78g/t, a low strip ratio of 2:1 and a net present value of C$2.2B at a long-term gold price of US$1,541/oz.

This full-time position will initially report to the Company’s Vice President Finance and may initially be based in Vancouver, but will ultimately be based in Central BC and report to the General Manager of Blackwater, with functional accountability to the Vice President Finance. It may be the ideal opportunity for the Vancouver-based finance professional to relocate to a smaller, more affordable city, while maintaining employment with a highly reputable public company.
