Our method

FROM TARGET
TO RESOURCE

Three phases, seven stages and a decision point at the end of each phase. You stay in control of your budget: every stage has to earn the next one.

Phase 1

DISCOVER

Find the ground that deserves investment, and drop early the ground that does not.

01
Stage 01

TARGET GENERATION

Historical data, geological maps, regional geochemistry and satellite imagery compiled into a single GIS. Areas are ranked on explicit geological criteria before any field spending.
Deliverables
  • Project GIS database
  • Ranked target map
  • Costed field programme
02
Stage 02

MAPPING & GEOCHEMISTRY

Detailed geological mapping down to 1:5,000, structural and alteration mapping, soil, rock and trench sampling. This is where targets are confirmed or dropped, on field evidence.
Deliverables
  • Geological and structural map
  • Validated geochemical results
  • Priority anomalies
03
Stage 03

GEOPHYSICS

Design and supervision of magnetic, IP, EM or gravity surveys suited to the deposit type sought. Interpretation integrated with the geology images mineralisation at depth.
Deliverables
  • Survey specifications
  • Interpreted sections and models
  • Located drill targets
Decision point
Do the targets justify drilling?

You commit the drilling budget only to targets backed by geology, geochemistry and geophysics.

Phase 2

VALIDATE

Test the targets at depth and produce data that any auditor can verify.

04
Stage 04

DRILLING

Supervision of diamond (DD) and reverse circulation (RC) campaigns: hole layout, daily monitoring, geological and geotechnical logging, safety and cost control.
Deliverables
  • Drill hole logs
  • Core photo library
  • Daily and end-of-campaign reports
05
Stage 05

QA/QC & DATA

Systematic insertion of certified standards, blanks and duplicates, sample chain of custody to the laboratory, and validation of every assay batch in a secure database.
Deliverables
  • QA/QC report
  • Validated database
  • Chain-of-custody register
Decision point
Is the mineralisation continuous, and is the data reliable?

Only checked and validated data goes into modelling. Nothing is estimated on doubtful results.

Phase 3

DEFINE

Turn the data into a documented asset that partners and investors can evaluate.

06
Stage 06

3D MODELLING

Geological interpretation in sections and in 3D: lithologies, structures and mineralised envelopes, built from validated drilling data.
Deliverables
  • 3D geological model
  • Mineralised envelopes
  • Interpreted plans and sections
07
Stage 07

RESOURCE ESTIMATION

Geostatistical analysis, block model and resource classification (inferred, indicated, measured) to NI 43-101 / JORC standards, with a technical report investors can read.
Deliverables
  • Block model
  • Estimated and classified resources
  • Technical report
Outcome
Outcome: a documented, defensible project

Ready for a partner, an investor, a fundraising or the feasibility stage.
