Hydrogeology & Geochemistry
Hydrogeology, geochemistry, and geosciences in mining
Our Mining, Minerals, and Metals teams provide a variety of geological solutions¡ªnot only on mining projects alone, but also on many large-scale and unique engineering projects. We know that defining new resources and enhancing the success of existing operations requires a multifaceted approach. With a wide array of geosciences and hydrogeology experience¡ªfrom early resource exploration target generation through to mine resource and reserve evaluations¡ªwe¡¯ve got you covered.
Whether you have a grass-roots exploration target, a developing project, or you¡¯re enhancing operational practices at an existing mine, we can provide geologic technical support. Using a range of proprietary, industry-specific, and best-available software, we can get you the data you need to make important geologic decisions throughout the resource life cycle.?
Dynamic mine water management requires interactive models
Through numerical modeling, we can replicate and calibrate to your surface water and groundwater systems¡ªaddressing the variability of water chemistry over time. These results go into a site-wide water balance model like GoldSim? to predict water quantity and quality, incorporating natural uncertainty and event-driven risks. These hydrogeologic models are used to determine the potential variability in water volume and quality over the life of your mine. The result? Efficient and cost-effective mine water management solutions.Geochemistry and geological support services for mining
We manage field programs, covering aspects such as program setup, planning, permitting, procurement, field management, cost control, and reporting. We also use Control?, a Ãë²¥ web-based application, to remotely connect clients with their real-time data, enabling critical decision-making.Hydrogeology services and water balance monitoring
Our water balance and quality modeling services include many kinds of modeling: hydrologic, groundwater contaminant fate and transport, water balance, stochastic, water quality integrated groundwater/surface water, and water quality. We¡¯re known for climate change effects analysis, waste rock, ore, and tailings geochemical characterization, and pit lake geochemical modeling. Let¡¯s work together to understand your water, assess your risks, and determine potential future variability.Digitally transforming core logging investigations
Our team of GIS analysts, geoscientists, and engineers collaboratively developed a technology solution that collects, manages, tracks, and analyzes data related to complex core logging investigations. This enterprise tool integrates planning, field execution, analytics, and reporting, providing real-time insights at every stage of the mining project lifecycle. We serve as a pivotal link across various reporting platforms, including ESRI, Power BI, gINT, and OpenGround.
