Our Geologist & Mining Engineer?
Using advanced geostatistical and resource estimation software and modelling techniques, we produce auditable mineral resource models that meet best practice international reporting standards such as the Exploration Report, SNI, KCMI & JORC Code.
Exploration
We are providing expert advice on exploration strategy and programme, including quantitative analysis of exploration effectiveness. We also prepare technical reviews and valuation of exploration properties.
Resource Estimation
Our geology consultants are experts in database integrity, QAQC methods, geological interpretation, geostatistics, resource modelling, grade estimation, resource classification and reporting standards, including Exploration report, SNI, KCMI & JORC Code. We draw on our global experience in metallic and non-metallic minerals to deliver an effective technical and economic assessment.

Pit Optimisation
We are considering these factors and using quantitative analysis and economic modeling, you can provide expert advice on strategy and program for pit optimization and exploration property valuation.
Key Steps in Pit Optimization:
- Geological Modeling: Create a detailed 3D model of the deposit, including the distribution of minerals, rock types, and other relevant geological features.
- Mine Planning: Use the geological model to design a mine plan that maximizes the extraction of valuable minerals while minimizing waste rock and environmental impact.
- Economic Analysis: Evaluate the economic viability of the mine plan, including the costs of extraction, processing, and transportation, as well as the revenue generated from the sale of minerals.
- Sensitivity Analysis: Test the robustness of the mine plan by analyzing the impact of changes in key variables, such as commodity prices, operating costs, and geological uncertainty.
Reserve Estimation
Our Mining Engineer following these best practices and using the right techniques. Reserve estimation is a critical process in the mining industry, as it involves estimating the number of mineral resources that can be economically extracted.
Key Steps in Reserve Estimation:
- Data Collection: Gather all relevant data, including drilling results, sampling data, and geological mapping.
- Geological Modeling: Create a detailed 3D model of the deposit, including the distribution of minerals, rock types, and other relevant geological features.
- Resource Estimation: Estimate the total amount of mineral resources in the deposit, using techniques such as inverse distance weighting or kriging.
- Cut-Off Grade Determination: Determine the minimum grade of mineralization that can be economically extracted, based on factors such as operating costs and commodity prices.
- Reserve Estimation: Estimate the amount of mineral resources that can be economically extracted, based on the resource estimate and cut-off grade.
- Classification: Classify the reserves into different categories, such as Proven, Probable, and Inferred, based on the level of confidence in the estimate.
