Our client, a key regional player with a large greenfield property over 15,000km², requested Arethuse to find new exploration targets with significant ready to drill occurences.
After a preliminary taregt generation based on broad speced geoscience data, Arethuse recommended to focus on specific mineralised belts. Following a turn-key 1 year field exploration project, Arethuse identified and outlined drilling targets with significant gold potential.
Our client, a key regional west african player, had a immediate need for a drilling camapign, but lacked sufficient human resourdces. Arethuse provided senior on site supervision for the few montrhs of the campaign, including setting up all sampling procedures, QAQC protocols, and on-the-job monitoring.
For a West Afriucan mid-tier gold producer, Arethuse provided a structural expertise to adjust the geological model basing the Mineral Resources, and enhancing near mine exploration.
Besides, Arethuse provide on-site training on the basis of Structural geologhy to the mine and exploration geologists
Arethuse has been the Mineral Resource consultant for a significant gold and copper player in East Africa over 10 years, providing on-the job training on the whole drilling and sampling chain, geological modeling. Following up on grade control and reconciliation, Arethuse helped this mining comapny to set-up its whole Mineral Resources management.
