Surface and Subsurface Sampling
Understanding subsurface geology is essential to exploration and resource evaluation, yet traditional sampling methods are often invasive, expensive and inefficient — causing delays and misallocated resources.
Our Solution:
Low-impact, cost-effective techniques.
• Surface sampling
Collection from outcrops or surface layers to assess geological characteristics, mineralogy and alteration zones.
• Soil sampling
Analysis of soil geochemical anomalies to identify concealed mineral deposits or contamination.
• Vegetation and calcrete sampling
Detection of biogeochemical signatures indicative of mineralisation at depth.
Deliverables Sampling plan, catalogued samples, preliminary geochemical results, interpretation note.
Sectors Mineral exploration, environment, baseline studies.
Integrating Sampling with Geophysical & Geological Data
Sampling results taken in isolation lack context and prove insufficient for informed drilling decisions, because they are not integrated into broader datasets.
Our Solution:
Data-driven sampling strategies.
• Targeted sampling
Collection at strategic locations, guided by geophysical anomalies such as resistivity and magnetic gradients.
• Multidisciplinary validation
Cross-referencing soil and surface data with ERT, seismic or magnetometry to refine targets and reduce unnecessary drilling.
• 3D geological models
Integration of results into a 3D model to visualise the subsurface and support feasibility studies.
Deliverables Prioritised drilling targets, integrated 3D model, multi-dataset integration report.
Sectors Mineral exploration, feasibility studies, engineering.
Custom Sampling for Project-Specific Needs
Generic approaches do not always meet the specific requirements of a project, which can lead to unusable results.
Our Solution:
Bespoke sampling programmes.
• Client-centred design
Density, depth and methodology — grid sampling, trenching or hand auger — matched to your objectives.
• Advanced tools & expertise
Drone-assisted sampling or automated drilling rigs for difficult terrain.
• Laboratory-ready preparation
Samples catalogued, preserved and prepared for geochemical, mineralogical or metallurgical analysis.
Deliverables Bespoke sampling protocol, chain of custody (QA/QC), laboratory-ready samples.
Sectors Mineral exploration, environmental studies, engineering.
