We enhance existing field teams by supplying them with skilled Contract Geologists and Field Technicians. Our services extend to executing programs directly for our clients and offering geologists who excel in crafting comprehensive technical geological reports, assessments, and engaging presentations.
Evaluate
Our team manages, coordinates and undertakes studies to advance projects and mineral deposits in areas of geological, engineering, operating, economic, social, environmental.
Experienced personnel provide the assurance that development activities are conducted with respect and responsibility for the people, environment and ultimately the client who has entrusted us to develop their project.
Develop
Geoscience specialists with experience in regional geology studies, mineral exploration, mine development, operation and mineral project assessment.
Our team has extensive experience in disclosure of exploration and project development activities in statutory and technical reports, and market statements, with qualified person sign off to ensure disclosed information complies with professional standards.
Geoscience Information
Our team specialises in discovering, extracting, and analysing historical data from both client-provided and publicly available sources. We meticulously organise this data into a structured and documented format for easy access, while also integrating it into databases for further modeling and processing.
Technical desktop studies
Our team performs data evaluation and in-depth research of the project area. We analyse selected comparable mineral projects and deposits to gain valuable insights and assist with targeting studies pinpoint the most promising areas for exploration. We develop a detailed exploration plan tailored to maximise success.
Additionally, we conduct landholder information and access studies to ensure seamless project execution. Our preliminary desktop study of the target commodity information provides a solid foundation for our strategic decision-making process.
Spatial modelling
Our team identifies spatial datasets, creates robust geographic information systems, and crafting intricate 3D geological models. With our expertise, we can help you visualise and analyse complex geological data, providing valuable insights for your projects. Let us transform your raw data into dynamic and interactive models that enhance your understanding of the Earth's subsurface.
Project management
We manage project lifecycle, obtain permits, ensure compliance, supervise contractors. Design tailored fieldwork and core logging systems for geological projects, providing templates, manuals, training, and data capture for streamlined data collection and management. Enhance efficiency and accuracy at every step.
Low impact exploration
Our team specialises in low-impact exploration services, identifying lithology, structural patterns, and alteration zones to create accurate maps. We develop and implement geochemical programs, conduct surface sampling, and deploy geophysics technologies.
Drilling campaigns
We design and implement drill programs, supervise drilling operations, and provide detailed geological logging of samples on-site. Responsibilities include safety compliance, progress monitoring, and accurate survey updates. We also perform logging, core handling, cutting, packaging, and dispatch.
Technical disclosures
Our comprehensive services cover everything from creating detailed maps, visually appealing figures, and captivating images to compiling ASX data, generating compliant ASX market disclosures, and crafting professional investor presentations.
Statutory reporting
In addition to providing annual technical reports, annual expenditure reports, environmental reporting, and community consultation reporting, we also handle responses to departmental requests for information. Our reporting services ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
Contract Geologists
Our team of experienced contract geologists and support personnel specialises in mineral exploration. We work closely with our client's teams supporting them with additional geologists and technical personnel to complete exploration field programs.
Our services include geological mapping, soil and rock sampling, deployment of geophysics technologies, and drilling supervision. Additionally, we offer camp managers, cooks, and logistics personnel to support seamless operations.
