METALLOGENESIS STUDIES
“Mining is science”
Mining and scientific studies are always closely related and inseparable. For instance, the study of regional tectonics and local geology provides elementary insight for the deposit type and controls on mineralization events that assists in planning future exploration foci and targets. Petrologic, mineralogical and geochemical studies provide key information for ore hosting states, mineral compositions and ore genesis sequences, which are essential and vital for designing beneficiation, environmental protection scheme and even for publishing exploration and technical reports.
One of our company aims is to build up a bridge between science and the mining industry. Currently, we are instructing and assisting four undergraduate students to undertake academic researches on our Indonesian copper project in different aspects. They include: Geophysics interpretation of ground magnetics and IP survey, petrology and geochemistry study, ore mineralogy and general tectonics.
Not only do we provide technical supports and exploration designs, we also provide services in scientific aspect for our honorable client. Our geology team has strong scientific background. We are capable of utilizing advanced and cutting-edge techniques for scientific studies, e.g. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectormeter (ICP-MS) for isotopic studies, X-ray Flouroscence (XRF) for geochemical studies and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) for mineralogical studies. Also, we are building our own science team by cooperating with research teams in universities and sponsoring MPhil and PhD candidates.
