Mining and geological exploration
Independent geological expertise connecting resource potential, critical assumptions and uncertainty with development economics and investment decisions.
Sector focus
Exploration programs, mine developments, extraction and processing facilities, and supporting infrastructure.
How we help
Geological data review
Review of geological and geophysical data for quality, completeness and consistency.
Geological model assessment
Assessment of deposit models and the technical assumptions supporting resource and reserve estimates.
Exploration planning
Identification of critical uncertainties and exploration activities that can reduce them.
Development economics
Development scenarios, CAPEX and OPEX with specialist input, and sensitivity of investment economics.
What shapes the decision
Resource potential depends on data completeness and the geological model. Uncertainty affects exploration priorities, technical decisions and project economics. The first question is which missing evidence could materially change the investment decision.
Value to the client
The geological-expertise practice is led by Grigory Agranov. His experience at CGE, LUKOIL-Engineering and MAGE covers offshore and onshore projects, geological models and risk analysis. We connect this expertise with modelling, cost engineering and delivery planning.
