Planning ore prospecting or mining? We give you comprehensive service packages

As our customer you can select the services you require or choose a comprehensive turn-key service package. This allows you to reduce investments in machinery and allocate freed resources for other purposes.

Monitoring soil and bedrock conditions

Projects related to monitoring soil and bedrock conditions, such as piezometer, inclinometer and extensometer installations are some of the services we provide in tight cooperation with consulting enterprises.

Technical & research services of our partner network in brief

  • Geochemical sampling
  • Geophysical ground and aerial survey
  • Field preparations for drilling
  • Geotechnical processing of core samples
  • Sample storage and logistics
  • Rock mechanical installations

All mineral exploration field services in one package

Together with our partners, we are able to offer you a particularly wide range of services and expertise. Depending on the site and the needs of the project, we can work in the field either independently with our own team or in close cooperation with the field service subscriber. With the help of our hardware, experts and strong experience that are in use, we can offer field services as a high-quality turnkey solution, or by carrying out only part of the initial mineral exploration work. Our field services include for example preparation of drilling sites, deforestation and fairway construction, timber damage reports, hole surveys, storage and transport of rock samples, diamond drilling as well as lateral measurements.

Thanks to our partners Palsatech and Geovisor, we are all able to focus on our special expertise in one area, but to provide customers with field services as a complete service chain from start to finish. We ensure that mineral exploration and related field services run safely, efficiently and produce results. Preservation of nature and the environment is already taken into account during the work, and of course we clean up our tracks after the mineral exploration is over.

What are the benefits of geotechnical investigation and research?

Geotechnical research and services are the key to cost effectiveness and better results in choosing mining site. Drill cores and their analyses give you all the information you need of the ground and it’s minerals.

What are the methods and steps in mineral exploration?

The exploration methods that we use with our partners include geophysical surveys, geochemical samplings, diamond drilling, terrain surveys and ground data collection. Other methods may also be used if needed. The exact mineral exploration process depends on the location, resources and team. Typically there are 8 steps in mineral exploration.

  1. Locating potential mineral deposits
  2. Making sure the potential site is available for mining and exploration and staking claim
  3. Ground data collection
  4. Geophysical surveys
  5. Terrain surveys
  6. If the site is deemed viable for further investigation, diamond drilling is the next step
  7. Sample processing and studying
  8. Modeling and feasibility calculation.

After enough data is collected and analyzed a production decision will be made. If the project goes further a mine will be established.

Why is mineral exploration important?

Mineral exploration is an important step in finding potential locations for mines. The demand for minerals is increasing every day and more minerals are needed for manufacturing different kinds of products which include things such as wind turbines. The demand for more minerals increases the importance of exploration.
