Our main focus is the application of structural geology and mineralogy to the understanding of mineral deposits, either in mining or exploration projects. We emphasize problem- solving and lateral thinking in the fields of structural interpretation and economic geology.

Projects have involved direct geological consulting for large- and medium-sized companies.  Work is undertaken either individually or as a structural specialist within a project team.

One of our main areas of activity is in open pit mines, where we form the interface between complex structural settings and geotechnical analysis and design, often with the aid of 3-D modelling.

Areas of activity are mainly located in Africa (e.g. South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, DRC, Ethiopia, Guinea, Burkina Faso).  Compliance with the Codes and Ethics of SACNASP, GSSA and the SEG (USA) is emphasized.

Services include, but are not limited to:

  • Structural mapping and interpretation
  • Three-dimensional structural interpretation and modeling
  • Predictive location of mineral deposits by forward structural modeling
  • Aerial photograph, aeromagnetic/geophysical and Landsat interpretation
  • Mineralogical characterization of orebodies
  • Customized geological database design
  • Collation and assessment of data sets
  • Borehole logging
  • Literature surveys
