Resources & Reserves

computer model of mineral deposit
Our resource geologists combine their skills in structural and geological interpretation of ore and coal deposits with the application of new innovative modelling packages to construct dynamic, 3D geological models used for resource estimation. This creates a unique synergy between the interpretation of geological data and 3D model construction, and enables fast and seamless incorporation of results into exploration targeting, resource and reserve estimation and mine planning.
 
Our 3D modelling approach is unique. The controlled evaluation of disparate datasets within a single 3D environment can unlock the true value potential of client’s data.
 
The true value of your resource is unlocked when the resource estimation is combined with reliable models based on the advanced structural, coal and ore deposit geology understanding. Your resource models for exploration, feasibility studies, operating mines and evaluations are based on sound geology and provide practical outcomes due to the extensive mining operational experience of our estimation team. Our geostatistical specialists select and expertly apply the estimation methodology most appropriate to the context of the resource estimation.
 
With the advent of faster and more powerful computers, which make it possible to use advanced techniques for resource estimation, our team has developed a deep understanding of the classical and advanced geostatistical techniques. We have links to companies developing advanced geostatistical and 3D geological modelling software, including Leapfrog, ISATIS, Geomodeller and GoCAD software. Because of these links; we have many advanced users of these packages. We work hard at building strong relationships with your organization in order to jointly define and solve the resource problems that you face.
