Services

Independent Geologist provides cost-effective help with all aspects of mineral exploration, project assessment and management, and sales.

We specialize in providing low-cost man-portable drilling and on-site assay services.

Man-portable drills are capable of drilling fences of shallow holes up to 20m deep, often reducing or mitigating the need for larger and more expensive drill rigs. Our drills can be used to assess rugged, inaccessible or sensitive sites without the up-front commitment of new tracks, pads or helicopters to mobilize larger drill rigs. Generally, little or no site preparation is required meaning results can be generated in less time than it takes for approvals to be granted for a regular program. This makes for an exceptionally cost-effective, and fast way to assess and refines target areas. It also makes for faster and more efficient assessment of projects for purchase or investment.

Examples of the work we undertake:

Basic project reviews answering questions like, “Is this project worth looking at more closely?”

  • Basic research and reporting, often tailored for those with a non-geological background.

Site assessment answering questions like, “Is the information I have about this project correct and what else can I do with this project to increase efficiency?”

  • Desktop review.
  • Site inspections.
  • Basic assay work designed to correlate claims made by an owner or to corroborate historic work.

Project management answering questions like, “What can we find and how can we add value for our investors?” 

  • Combining historic with new work to identify extensions to mineralisation.
  • Preparing a project for sale by maximising value to potential new owners or investors.
  • Preparing market-reportable results and reports (JORC reportable).
