Specialists in the application of structural geology to mineral deposits
SERVICES
Geological Mapping
High-resolution mapping and characterization of major faults, shears and fracture zones, to constrain the structural context of your deposit and country rock volume
3D Geological Modelling
The incorporation of data sets from all technical departments to construct fully-constrained 3D geomodels in Leapfrog, Micromine and Gemcom
Geophysical Data Interpretation
Detailed structural interpretation of aeromagnetic and radiometric data and its integration with LandSAT and ASTER images, leading to target generation based on current mineralization models and exploration strategies
Modelling and Analysis for Geotechnical Design
Quantifying the interaction of implicitly-modelled 3D solids and surfaces with working pits and pit designs, to highlight areas of potential instability
Training and Implementation
Training courses are customised to client’s requirements and level of experience. Courses are held on-site or at TECT’s offices
DUE DILIGENCE AND REVIEW
Comprehensive database, structural interpretation, 3D model and technical report reviews, providing assurance that these are accurate, unambiguous, accord with industry best-practice and are fit-for-purpose for downstream use.
GREENFIELDS AND BROWNFIELDS TARGET GENERATION
Application of mineralization and deposit models to data sets to determine new exploration targets or mineralization extensions
MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATION
Quality assurance, quality control, statistical and geostatistical studies, grade and density estimations, classification and reporting
PREDICTIVE STRESS-STRAIN STRUCTURAL MODELLING FOR EXPLORATION
Resolution of mineralization trends and controlling structures; stress mapping of exploration properties to determine fluid flow and to generate targets
ADVISING ON MINERAL DEPOSITS AND EXPLORATION PROJECTS
Due diligence on African exploration and mining projects to financial and brokering companies; technical review of projects, companies and proposals
REGIONAL DATA COMPILATIONS
Merging of Africa-wide data sets with up-to-date literature, georeferenced maps and open-source technical reports
