Mining Geology
Our team of experienced mining engineers and geologists combines technical expertise with a comprehensive understanding of mining operations to deliver customised solutions that optimise resource extraction, ensure grade stability, and maximise profitability.
The geological development of an identified resource doesn’t stop once the initial exploration has been completed. MINREX has experience in all aspects of mine geology, from block modelling and resource estimations to sampling and grade control, and supportive mineral resource management (MRM) functions. MINREX mitigates risks in mining geology and projects through proper planning, development and management of resources. MINREX also performs mine optimization, planning, and storage facility design’s.
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU
Sampling & Grade Control
Misclassification of ore, poor grade information, and errors in estimations can result in millions in lost revenue. The need for representative sampling procedures in open-pit mining is increasingly important in all mining industries. Proper grade control allows for precise mine planning and ensures ore and waste are reported correctly.
Block Models
The culmination of all the geological and sampling data into a block model allows for grade estimations and distributions to be reported. Block models allow for resource reporting, mine design, and pit optimisation, and are the basis for most mining engineering processes.
Resource Statements
Reporting mineral resources according to SAMREC, JORC, NI 43-101 reporting codes. Fit-for-purpose resource and mineralisation statements and estimations for small-scale miners.
Stockpile Control
Managing the stockpile and discard dump movement, loading, storage, and blending can be key to maximising ore sales revenue. Properly managed stockpiles allow for reconciliations and optimisation.
Mining Works Programme
Development, compilation, and submission of mining works programmes (MWP) in accordance with the requirements from the South African Department of Mineral Resources (DMR).
Mine Surveys
Mine surveys, drone surveys (photogrammetry and LIDAR), coordinate system conversions, mine reconciliations, and stockpile volumetrics.
Prospecting & Mining Rights
Development, preparation, compilation, and submission of prospecting and mining right applications. MINREX can assist with applications for DRC as well as all SADC countries.
