Mineral exploration project planning is integral to the strategic discovery and development of valuable critical mineral resources. This includes setting clear objectives, allocating resources, managing risks, and ensuring stringent regulatory compliance. Successful mine planning involves data collection, active stakeholder engagement, and use of sustainable practices, steering exploration through precise scheduling and rigorous technical evaluations. GTS provides comprehensive management services for both Greenfield and brownfield projects, offering solutions or deploying our specialized team on-site to facilitate thorough investigation and promising prospecting.

Mineral exploration project audit evaluation is crucial in assessing the efficiency, effectiveness, and compliance of mining exploration. This encompasses a review of project objectives, resource allocation, risk management, and regulatory adherence, along with an assessment of data collection, stakeholder engagement, and sustainability practices. GTS considers this process essential as it ensures responsible exploration, highlighting best practices and areas for improvement. Optimizing mineral exploration processes promotes trust and security while enhancing decision-making, and ensuring compliance with accepted legal and environmental standards.

Geospatial and Remote Sensing Data Interpretation is essential in mineral exploration to offer accurate information about Earth's surface and subsurface. This helps identify mine planning data like critical mineral deposits, map geological features, and assess targets using satellite imagery, aerial photos, and geophysical data. Effective data interpretation can not only detect anomalies and guide fieldwork but also reduce exploration costs and risks. GTS's team recognizes the importance of this process and other sectors, providing valuable insights through advanced remote sensing technologies.

Geological and Structural Mapping is necessary for mineral exploration. With comprehensive insights into rock formations, fault lines, fold interpretations, and fracture zones, it helps geologists pinpoint high-potential areas, understand geological history, and identify exploration targets. This precision helps guide drilling efforts by minimizing risks, optimizing resource allocation— leading to enhanced decision-making and increasing chances of discovery. GTS's team of skilled geologists are proficient in reconnaissance, prospecting, and detailed geological mapping across various scales while adhering to project-specific norms and regulations.

Geochemical and Geophysical Investigations are vital for mineral exploration, providing valuable insights into subsurface composition. Trace elements and anomalies can be detected through geochemical analysis, while geophysical methods map structures and identify ore bodies. This reduces exploration risks, guides drilling efforts, and enhances precision of resource prospecting. Geochemical sampling is pivotal for identifying critical mineral deposits, and with GTS excelling in worldwide SOP-guided sampling for various deposits, it offers tailored geochemical sampling methodologies based on specific commodity types and mineralization characteristics.

Exploratory Drilling and Sampling are important parts of mineral exploration, providing insights into subsurface geology. Through drilling, extracted core samples reveal rock types, structures, and mineral content and are also analyzed to identify valuable elements. This process confirms mineral deposits, gauge size, and quality, which leads to accurate resource estimation. At GTS, we prioritize exploratory drilling in assessing the mineral deposits' existence, volume, and quality, using methods like core drilling and reverse circulation drilling, followed by detailed sampling and analysis.

Resource Modeling and Estimation are essential for evaluating the size, shape, and quality of mineral deposits using detailed 3D models and quantity estimates. JORC Standard-compliant reporting ensures adherence to industry’s best practices, providing reliable and transparent resource information. This compliance increases investor confidence, helps guide project development, and supports well-informed decisions. At GTS, we specialize in resource modeling and estimation, offering data for assessing the economic feasibility of mineral deposits through comprehensive 3D models and evaluation of resource quality and quantity.

Hydrogeological Services are crucial for mineral exploration as they provide vital information about groundwater conditions and their effect on mining activities. They assess groundwater flow, quality, and availability to ensure proper water management. By identifying potential risks such as contamination or depletion, hydrogeological services help implement measures to support efficient mine planning and reduce water-related risks. GTS provides extensive services for examining and managing groundwater while aiding in the planning of drilling programs and the effective management of water resources.

Due diligence and Mineral Asset Valuation are part of mineral exploration to evaluate a project’s potential and value. This involves assessing geological, legal, and financial aspects to ensure viability and identify risks. Valuation determines the asset's worth based on resource estimates, market conditions, and economic feasibility. Effective execution of these processes not only secures investments but also guides strategic decisions. GTS specializes in technical due diligence and mineral asset evaluation, providing invaluable support for subsequent processes such as mining and mineral processing.

Exploration Advisory and Technical Support help in unlocking the full potential of mineral exploration while offering expert guidance and technical expertise during Mine Planning. Advisory Services help design strategies and provide skills in data analysis, geophysical surveys, and geological assessments. This approach optimizes exploration, enhances decision-making, and ensures best practices. GTS offers comprehensive advisory on geological features, exploration history, and potential resources, and recommends a systematic, phased exploration integrating geophysical, geochemical, and drilling data to maximize discovery potential and manage risks.

Software Bank is a necessary element in mineral exploration, enabling efficient data management, analysis, and visualization. It processes geological, geophysical, and geochemical data, creates 3D models, and conducts resource estimation. This allows for better decision-making, optimizes exploration strategies, and boosts accuracy in identifying deposits. GTS resource geologists use latest in the field advanced software such as Micromine, Leapfrog Edge, Hexagon Geomedia, ArcGIS Pro, Erdas, Brics CAD, Oasis Montaj, Geosoft, and QGIS to transform geological data into comprehensive models and precise resource estimates.
