Understanding the geology and ground conditions is crucial to an effective exploration campaign. Our expert team can advise on the appropriate exploration method, including the latest imaging, mapping, geophysical and drilling techniques to ensure you get the data you need.

Production of 3D geological models using the latest industry software such as Leapfrog Works that can be shared with the client viewer platforms to help you understand your deposit and communicate geology to external stakeholders, while allowing JORC-compliant reserves and resources assessments to be reported on.

Proper pit design and phasing is essential to optimise the whole-life performance of the operation, maximising reserve recovery while avoiding costly double-handling of overburden or excessive haul distances. Macquarie Geotechnical can provide whole-life phasing and annual mining plans to optimise pit development and comply with regulations, while providing the necessary support to operations teams to ensure designs are realised. 

Macquarie Geotechnical is uniquely positioned to assist with complex challenges where bespoke support and advice is needed on a project or ongoing basis, for example implementing digital geological databases, incorporating geotechnical risks into Safe Work Method Statements or landform designs for remedial plans.
