Methodology:

The Turnkey Raw Material Investigation is executed in two phases:

Phase I

• Assessment of  the geological data as available from secondary sources.
• Geological reconnaissance survey of the area.
• Formulation of investigation plans and preparation of approach document.
• Delineation of the most prospective area.
• Establish the potential of the deposit by Phase I geological investigation on a wide grid.

Phase II

• Systematic investigation (Phase II) of delineated block of deposit on a close spaced grid.
• Application of Computer Aided Deposit Evaluation (CADE) for :
• Improved knowledge about deposit.
• Maximising deposit life.
• Homogenized mine output.
• Cost effective mining operation and raw mix.

 Benefits:

It gives an investor a complete understanding of the quality and quantity of the deposit.
