MINING

In the mining field our service include the common service provided by most mining consulting such as:

  • Quality assessment of an exploration drilling program and data
    • Analysis is done to assess if exploration coverage is optimize. Drill holes characteristics are then proposed
  • Ore reserve estimation: calculations and verifications
    • Common practice is to use available software. However given the geo-uncertainties of every mineralization zone, we propose to literally verify the calculations by hand using first principle tools in ore reserve estimation methods. It’s tedious, however it may help increase the confidence level in one’s approach
  • Mining project prefeasibility an feasibility studies
    • Projects are treated individually and most parameters of significance identified, logged and used to conduct the valuation while taking into account the future operational environment
  • Mining methods and Mine design and production planning derived from mathematical models and simulation techniques
  • Ore management
    • Managing ore is key for a good production planning and therefore a significant importance is given to that module
    • Orebody is divided into zones that are assigned indexes as function geo-localization, grades and objectives.
  • Mine waste management
    • Usually done by Dynamic optimization. Geo-position and resources allocation to this department are done in such a manner that it is not only included in the initial stage of the feasibility studies but is manage as ore will be with its allocated
  • Mine services
    • Identified and included in a long term projection of the mine life
  • Inspection/Auditing
    • Some company may require auditing some aspect of their operation in order to detect what is and what could become a bottleneck throughout the life of a mine
    • Modeling and Simulation technics are applied
  • Environment impact assessment and Remediation
    • Operational environments are carefully monitored on a continuous basis using the community and technology
    • Our team then assesses impacts and proposes remediation solutions as well identifying potential future risks
    • Our team experts in ecosystem management propose solutions for land reclamation
  • Mine training
    • Visual Geo-technical/ basic geotechnical
    • First aid knowledge
    • General safety knowledge
    • Blasting knowledge
    • Accidents/near misses/suspicious remarks report
    • Health and safety management
    • Mine tailings safety
