CONTRACTING

Our contracting business aims at providing a cost effective service which is compliant with latest

“best practices”. We aim to streamline the field programmes in order to minimise cost to you, our

client.

We are happy to work side by side with your existing field teams or if you have taken a decision to

minimise staffing costs then we can provide a complete managed solution for your exploration

programme.

We also provide technical teams to undertake specific technical aspects of your programme i.e.

spectrometer surveys, surveying etc.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Our project management services are tailored to your needs. This service can include a complete

exploration management solution, including sourcing of quotes for subcontractors, help with

negotiating drilling contracts, government reporting etc or simply management of the technical field

teams – the choice is yours.

DATA MANAGEMENT

GIS

Our GIS services provide a professional solution for visualisation of your exploration data. We utilise

a combination of Arcview 9.3 and Oasis for the processing and visualisation stages. We utilise the

GIS functionality for planning and budgeting of the various exploration stages.

Data is stored in a geo-referenced geodatabase for easy export and referencing validation.

In addition we will source, compile and interpret public domain data and remote sensing datasets

according to your budget and requirements.

We also undertake remote sensing targeting based on multiple criteria and even produce

preliminary regolith maps from satellite imagery to help control the quality and interpretation of

your geochemical sampling data.

DRILLING

Drillhole planning, monitoring and interpretation is undertaken using Micromine 3D visualisation

software in combination with imported GIS data to ensure maximum targeting and planning

capability. Validated drillhole databases are presented to the client at periods specified by the

client.

ASSAY

Industry standard procedures and control sheets are utilised to control the insertion of QAQC

samples. Once results are received they are critically examined to identify the precision, accuracy

and whether any bias or contamination is evident in the assay sequence.

REPORTING

We offer various reporting options which range from monthly progress reporting through to

formalised exploration reports or Stock Exchange Compliant Reports. We also offer a complete

managed exploration service including government reporting.
