Exploration

Exploration, particularly field access is challenging in many remote environments due to lack of infrastructure and vehicle access takes several hours driving over sand dunes and dry river beds or relying on air access only.  A major challenge for exploration is decision making in the field, Read more... about Rapid exploration in remote terrains

SRK Exploration realised the full potential of sonic drilling in 2010 when they recommended that sonic rigs should be used at an alluvial platinum project that was struggling to reconcile drilling results and mine production. Sonic drilling was ideal for this project, returning excellent Read more... about Sonic drilling - where does it fit?

To assist in optimising time efficiency and value for money while planning and supervising drilling programmes, companies such as SRK ES are embracing the use of implicit geological modelling software.

With clients’ exploration budgets being squeezed ever further, long gone are the days Read more... about A Dynamic Approach To Drill Programme Design

In recent years SRK Exploration Services noticed that the fast pace of modern exploration often occurs at the expense of quality data management and geological training.

The current demand for experienced geologists shows little sign of abating and the need for training has never been Read more... about Effective Geological Training and Data Management

Hydrogeologic studies at mining exploration sites rely on airlift-pumping tests because it is a relatively fast, simple, and accurate method of obtaining hydraulic conductivity values in deep fractured aquifers. A single data set from a typical packer-isolated airlift test can include falling- Read more... about Airlift Testing in Exploration Coreholes
