Understand the structure before drilling

Geological mapping

We produce detailed lithostructural maps of licences, combining field observations, satellite imagery and geophysical data, so that every occurrence is placed in its structural context.

Methodology

  1. 1

    Field geological mapping, outcrop description and structural measurements (dips, fractures, contacts).

  2. 2

    Satellite imagery and magnetic data interpretation to trace regional lineaments.

  3. 3

    Discrimination of Archean and Proterozoic basement units from late intrusions.

  4. 4

    GIS modelling and integration with radiometric and drilling results.

Deliverables

  • Geological and structural licence map

  • Interpretative cross-sections

  • Photographic outcrop catalogue

  • GIS layers delivered in standard formats

Field case

Mapping of the Tasiast Suite tied uranium mineralisation to intrusive granites and allowed trenches to be laid out perpendicular to the host structures.
