Our years of experience, quality of work and attention to detail build on our existing relationships with theses agencies and ensure a completed product in a timely manner. Geologic Modeling and Reserve Analysis Our staff will utilize geologic modeling techniques to determine the geometry and placement of underground mineral deposits. From this data we will determine the concentration and volumes of the mineral in the investigated area. Economic constraints, structural framework and mineral quality are then applied to the model to determine the value of extraction. Plans for mineral extraction are determined by the ability of the client to make an economic extraction of the defined mineral.
