Industrial
Mineral producers face global competition, as well as, operating costs
for production of raw materials which are continually spiraling upward.
The result is that most mine and quarry operations are operating under
tight budgetary constraints. In most cases, industrial mineral producers
have been able to cope and adjust, however, with real economic growth
and increased market demand still in the future, operating budgets
must be kept under control.

Geomapping professional consultants can assist your
operation in designing an efficient mine plan by:
- Measuring Current Utilization of Resources (Waste
vs. Recovery)
- Determining Site Geology and Ore Deposit Configuration
- Evaluation of Various Modes of Extraction
- Implementing Monitoring Systems for Assessment
of Operational Efficiency
Based
upon comprehensive geological data and mine development plans, a
schedule for annual extraction of ore and waste removal can be realized
which conforms to the overall corporate goal for sales during a
projected time period. The whole purpose for developing a mine or
quarry production plan is to establish a schedule which will balance
out ore production and waste removal in order to maintain the cost
per ton of ore produced at a level which is consistent with the
profit goals of the operation. Geomapping professional consultants
can assist your mine or quarry management team in order to determine
whether or not an alternate mine plan schedule should be considered
for recovery of additional reserves or for reduction of the cost
per ton of ore produced.
Corporate acquisition within the industrial mineral
sector demands meticulous screening of existing plant, mine, and
quarry operations in order to assess potential liability issues,
as well as, the overall feasibility of realizing profit goals through
the acquisition. Geomapping professionals have the technical expertise
and experience to support your due diligence review team by:
|
- Identifying ore quality, in-place reserves,
and development / production issues
- Assessing current and potential environmental
liability issues and concerns
- Reviewing future reclamation requirements
and costs
- Mapping the mine and quarry site for future
planning and production monitoring
- Providing liaison services for communication
with local, state, & federal permit agencies
- Supplying experts to assist your valuation
appraisal team in financial feasibility studies

Geomapping professional consultants have worked both
globally and locally in the exploration for new industrial mineral
resources. Efforts extending over more than 20 years of practice
have yielded economic deposits of marble, talc, limestone, and dolomite.
Geomapping Associates Ltd. can assist you in the implementation
of your exploration strategy ranging from:
- Regional Reconnaissance Surveys in order to provide
basic mapping of rock units and understanding of geological history,
deposition, and tectonics
- Exploratory Drilling and Mapping on a wide pattern
for local definition of geological structure, deposit continuity,
and potential ore quality
- Reserve Extension Drilling and Mapping at existing
mine and quarry operations in order to maintain both short and
long term ore supply to meet your plant production goals
Once your industrial mineral resource discovery has
been targeted, Geomapping professional consultants can supply you
with comprehensive, site specific, planning and evaluation services
for overall determination of development feasibility including
|
- Mine / quarry site delineation for
property acquisition
- Detailed assessment of ore quality and marketability
- Mine planning and design
- Assessment of environmental sensitivity
- Evaluation of potential land use issues
- Extraction cost appraisal
- Production cost appraisal
- Market valuation appraisal
- Review of transportation costs
