Valuation of mineral properties

As geological engineering consultants, we have the ability to assess the value of your mineral property, whether it is already in operation or not, to help you maximize the potential of your site. Having a full understanding of the characteristics of your property is key to minimizing the risk involved in your investment. Trust our expertise for a reliable and accurate assessment of your quarry.

Our mineral property assessment process

Property valuation is a complex exercise that is crucial to guaranteeing the feasibility of your project. We follow a strict methodology that consists of an exploratory phase, an economic analysis of the site and finally a full risk assessment. Find out more about how we work.

Geological analysis

This initial exploratory phase consists of gathering as much data as possible about your property. Our experts will analyze the grade and volume of raw materials, identify the various deposits and assess the environment and terrain. With this data, we can move on to the appraisal stage.

Property appraisal

Based on the data gathered from the geological analysis, we will estimate and calculate the potential profitability of your project. We will use the information related to the raw materials available on your site, as well as the quantity and grade of the various deposits, to estimate your potential earnings. To optimize the operation of your quarry, we can also provide you with a detailed Quarry Development Plan.

Risk analysis

In order to carry out a detailed analysis of your project’s profitability, you need to take into account external factors such as location, required infrastructure, current regulations, environmental issues and any associated technical challenges. As these factors can have an impact on site operations, it’s important to take them into account when assessing risks.
