Exploration Products and Services

Mineral exploration seeks new ore bodies not simply for the sake of discovery but for the creation of new wealth. Ores that cannot be mined, processed and sold are worthless, no matter how spectacular their discovery may have been.

Putting a drill hole through mineralization is only the first step in putting money in the bank. Explorations' immediate purpose is the development of a 3-D geological model with reference to the surface and the surrounding environment. Mines that fail almost invariably get something wrong at this step.

Access and environmental setting must be considered but everything hangs on getting the lithology, alteration, mineralization, rock mechanics and hydrology right. Geologists who understand the deposit type and setting can save significant time and big dollars in this process.

Do you need someone who “knows” your deposit type from the inside out and the outside in? We know Porphyry Cu and Porphyry Mo deposits, Carlin Au, Epithermal Au and Mesothermal Au deposits, VMS deposits, Ni-Cu massive sulfide deposits, Industrial Minerals and Construction Materials deposits. Our team of experts can build a geological model for you without wasting drill holes and wasting dollars.
