I'm a early-career geologist in South Korea working at an underground limestone mine site.

Recently i feel stuck lately because of Mining in South Korea is a pretty limited field with not many opportunities to grow. all we have is carbonate, carbonate, carbonate... And most of the industry doesn't really need a geologist at all(many company threat us as an unnecessary cost).

I'm still junior so maybe this kind of worrying is too early, but i've been thinking about my next move to grow and stay as a mining geologist.

So just curious, is the geologist role in mining still a thing out there (especially australia/canada)?
