Increase analytical capacity with geologist outsourcing from $1,485 a month, all in

Sourcefit’s geology support rates are $1,485 a month for entry level, $2,725 for mid level and $3,965 for senior geologists, per full-time employee working from home. Office-based staff add $100 a month. Each rate is all in: salary and benefits at cost plus the $395 management fee. There are no setup, recruitment or exit fees. Where the work suits it, output-based pricing is also available, built on the same transparent framework: we show how the unit price is calculated, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

No. The fee is already inside every rate on this page and on every quote. A $1,485 rate is about $1,090 of salary and benefits at cost plus the $395 fee. You will never see the fee added to a rate you were quoted.

Legal employment and compliance with an HR team on the ground, recruitment, an i5 computer with dual monitors and headset, a 24/7 IT help desk, a secure managed network, our security certifications and insurance, training and quality, client success management and the Knit workforce platform. For office-based staff it also covers the seat, office network and utilities.

Most geology support roles are recruited, interviewed and onboarded in two to three weeks. Geologists with resource modeling experience can take longer. You interview and choose the geologists.

That is your choice. Most clients manage the team directly: the geologists report to your managers and work inside your processes and tools, with Sourcefit handling employment, HR, equipment, IT and quality support behind them. If you would rather not manage day to day, our Sightline model builds an autonomous team with its own Sourcefit team lead and quality layer that delivers against agreed SLAs, while still reporting directly to you and working to your KPIs, not ours. Sightline is quoted separately.

Yes. Geologists work in your geological databases and modeling software, such as acQuire, MX Deposit, Leapfrog, Micromine, Surpac, Datamine, ArcGIS and QGIS, under your access rules. You keep ownership of every account, and access is revoked the day someone leaves.

Sourcefit holds ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 27701 certification directly, is PCI DSS validated, has a SOC 2 report, signs HIPAA business associate agreements where needed and operates GDPR-aligned data handling. Home-based staff work on company-managed computers over a VPN with traffic routed through Cloudflare.

The team is yours. If you decide to move them to your own entity or take them with you, they go with you. There is no transfer fee, buyout or conversion charge.

Drillhole database management, log digitization and validation, QAQC of assay standards, blanks and duplicates, section and plan drafting, implicit modeling support and reporting all work remotely. Core logging at the shack, sampling, mapping and drill supervision stay on site.

No. A Competent Person under JORC or a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 must meet the code criteria and typically visit site. Offshore geologists prepare the data, models and drafts under that person’s supervision.

Yes, under the Geology Profession Act of 2012 with a Professional Regulation Commission board exam, and the Philippines has active gold, copper and nickel mining, so exploration and mine-site experience is available. The license is a quality signal; support work for a foreign client does not require a local license or stamp.

ArcGIS, QGIS, AutoCAD, Surpac and Leapfrog are common; acQuire and MX Deposit database administration is a narrower pool and takes longer to recruit. Licenses are normally yours; we test candidates on a sample dataset.

Data stays in your environment (Seequent Central or your cloud project store) under named logins, on company-managed computers over a VPN with local storage locked down where your data policy requires it, with confidentiality terms, ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 27701 controls and insider-trading awareness as part of onboarding for listed clients.

A consultancy for independent sign-off, audits and resource estimates. A dedicated geologist for the continuous database, QAQC, drafting and reporting load, at a fraction of consultancy day rates and working inside your systems. Most clients use both.

The Philippines is two hours behind Australian eastern time, which suits Australian sites, and overnight processing works for North American sites. Shared cloud project stores and comment workflows keep the field and the desk on one dataset.

Sourcefit’s geology rates are $1,485 to $3,965 a month, all in. The senior rate reflects a licensed geologist with resource modeling experience, whose salary is well above an entry data geologist’s, passed through at cost. The management fee is the same at every level.

Automated logging flags, QAQC checks and machine-assisted modeling speed the work, and your geologists should be running them. Validation, interpretation and Competent Person judgment stay human.
