MinEx - Geological assessment

This may consist of the following tasks:

    1 - Basic 'grab' sampling.

    2 - Observation of illegal miners working and their production over a determined time period.

    3 - Study of existing topographic and geological maps, data and satellite images.

    4 - Ground GPS surveys and mapping (if possible with local, in country geologists).

    5 - Geochemistry, Ground Geophysics, electro resistively or resonance acoustic profiling.

    6 - Deciding a plan and budget for trenching, pitting and/or core drilling.

    7 - Organising the practical execution of '6'.

    8 - Managing and interpreting the results from '7', continually redefine '6'.

    9 - Advise on methods to continue project and exploitation design.

MinEx will design and control a program of the above according to your individual needs.

Very often with alluvial deposits, assessment can reveal hot-spots (rich areas) which can be exploited under prospecting or exploration permits, assisting with early cash flow generation.  We have Associates who specialise in this activity of small scale hot spot dredging.

The next step, assuming a viable resource is identified, is mine planning and mining
