We work with small, medium and large-scale companies and mining start-ups all over the world, who want pragmatic and proven solutions that improve head grade and reduce ore loss.
Our specialists are backed by significant operational and development experience, both in Australia and overseas, with a focus on delivering solutions that add-value to your operation.
The Mining Geologists in our team are well respected in the industry and focus on providing practical advice that can be easily implemented for streamlined performance.
We take pride in being friendly and approachable people, backed by years of industry expertise, dedicated to achieving tangible results for your project.
Complete Mining Geology solutions
Our comprehensive mining geology services add value to your project through the grade control and reconciliation process. This occurs via:
- Collecting and assessing geological data to give the best interpretation of mineralisation.
- Analysing samples and QAQC protocols to ensure optimal quality and appropriate methods are established.
- Drawing on trustworthy and reliable data to make decisions that are correct and evidence-based.
- Maximising value in the orebody using best fit grade control practices that result in dilution minimisation and ore loss control.
- Engaging in reconciliation analysis to identify issues that indicate sub-optimal processes, which lead to wasted time and cost.
Our team assists with:
- Implementing production geology mapping systems, and processes to interpret and use this information.
- Optimising drill spacing to enhance cost and risk trade-off.
- Reviewing mine reconciliation data and developing templates and systems.
- Using our GAP analysis tool to identify areas for improvement.
- Visiting mine sites around the world to assess and implement strategies.
- Delivering training for open pit and underground geologists.
- Assisting with drilling programs and strategies to define resource extensions.
- Automating grade control estimations.
- Covering staff shortages that may be impacting your site.
- Providing medium and long-term mentoring for your mine site team.

How we support you
Our team draws on more than 100 years of collective experience in mining geology to reduce ore loss and waste dilution within your operation.
We take into account the cost and risk to your project, so you maximise return on your investment, while achieving optimal results.
This trade-off is considered on all fronts, from optimising drill space to preparing templates and systems based on mine reconciliation data and other important information.
Our clients range from mine start-ups to established companies in the resources sector, within Australia and worldwide. This includes:
- New mines starting operations – who want to establish an effective system suitable for the mining method involved and the style of mineralisation.
- Existing mines – seeking to optimise their existing practices or review their systems to confirm they are as effective as possible.
- Mines in administration – when an administrator wants to keep the mine running and repair issues to realise the best sale price.
- Small and large companies – looking to troubleshoot production reconciliation issues.
