Alluvial placer mining is a type of mining that involves the extraction of minerals from alluvial deposits, which are sedimentary deposits of sand, gravel, and other materials that have been transported and deposited by water. These deposits can be found in rivers, streams, and other bodies of water, and they can contain valuable minerals such as gold, platinum, and diamonds.
Alluvial placer mining typically involves the use of earthmoving equipment to extract the mineral-rich material from the alluvial deposit, and then separating the minerals from the surrounding material using techniques such as panning, sluicing, and dredging. The extracted minerals can then be processed and refined to extract the valuable minerals.
One of the main advantages of alluvial placer mining is that it can be done with relatively simple and inexpensive equipment, making it accessible to small-scale operations. It can also be done in areas where other forms of mining are not possible or practical, such as in areas with little or no access to power or water.
Geological mapping is an important aspect of the mining industry, as it helps to identify the location and type of minerals that are present in an area. Geological mapping involves the systematic collection and interpretation of data about the geology of an area, including the composition, structure, and age of the rocks and minerals that are present.
Geological mapping is typically done by geologists, who use a variety of methods to collect data, including field mapping, drilling, and geophysical surveys. This data is then used to create a map or model of the geology of the area, which can be used to identify potential mineral deposits and assess their potential value.
Geological mapping is an essential step in the mining process, as it helps mining companies to identify the most promising areas for exploration and determine the best methods for extracting minerals from the earth. It also helps to minimize the environmental impacts of mining by identifying areas that are not suitable for mining, and by helping to minimize the need for waste material to be removed from the site.
JORC compliance is a set of standards that are used to ensure that natural mineral resources are explored, developed, and reported in a consistent and transparent manner. The JORC Code, which stands for the Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee, is a globally recognized code of practice for the reporting of mineral resources and reserves.
JORC compliance is important in the natural minerals exploration industry because it helps to ensure that companies are accurately reporting the size, quality, and value of their mineral resources. This in turn helps to protect investors and other stakeholders by providing them with reliable and transparent information about the minerals being explored and developed.
To be JORC compliant, we follow a set of guidelines and requirements for the reporting of mineral resources and reserves. This includes disclosing information about the location, size, quality, and value of their mineral resources, as well as the methods used to estimate and classify these resources.
You're in good hands
Our team of experienced geologists and mining engineers work around the clock to find and extract the highest quality minerals in a responsible and sustainable manner. We operate mines in several countries across the world, ensuring a diverse and reliable supply of minerals to our customers.
