Geology
Mining Plus combines technical expertise in geology with mine engineering and innovative techniques to deliver tailored project solutions for real bottom-line values. Our team has experience internationally in different jurisdictions ranging from West and Southern Africa, Europe, Russia, Australia, Asia, and North & South America.
EXPLORATION AND RESOURCE MODELLING
The Mining Plus Geology team understands that the critical input into any mining study is the mineral resource model. The team is adept at ensuring the resource estimate reflects the underlying geology with any risks and variables understood and documented effectively.
Working closely with the Mining Engineering team to understand what attributes of the project’s geology are needed within the resource model to develop an efficient and effective design leads to less rework at the block model handover point and works to “get it right the first time”.
Our range of services includes:
Field-based Activities
-
Design, planning, and optimisation of drilling programs,
