• Specialized drilling services up to 2000 meters depth using double-tube coring techniques.
• Training and consultation aimed at enhancing knowledge and skills in the mining industry for individuals and organizations active in the sector.

Specialized Exploration and Mining Evaluation Operations

Emidco offers a wide range of services in exploration and reserve evaluation, including all phases from identification to the final modeling of mineral reserves. Our core activities are:

Trenching operations:
This phase helps accurately identify underground structures and obtain surface samples for initial mineral reserve assessment.
Coring and drilling operations:
Using advanced drilling equipment, core samples are extracted from deep underground to facilitate a more detailed study of the mineral content.
Core logging, cutting, and sampling:
Extracted cores undergo detailed examination, cutting, and sampling to assess their geological and mineral characteristics.
Crushing and sample preparation:
Collected samples are crushed and prepared as a powder for accurate laboratory analysis.
Laboratory data analysis:
The laboratory data obtained, including the physical and chemical properties of the samples, are analyzed to gather the necessary information for reserve estimation.
Estimating, evaluating, and modeling mineral reserves:
Using specialized software, geological data and analyses are used to estimate and evaluate the mineral reserve, followed by 3D modeling to create accurate maps of the deposit’s location and dimensions.
These drilling operations are conducted according to the JORC standard, forming the basis for crucial decisions in mining projects, which play a significant role in planning and optimizing the utilization of mineral reserves.
