TERNA Magnesites, Mantoudi Exploration, Greece

Two (2) surface rigs were deployed in several localities drilling boreholes up to 220m in length. The project contained from sparse green field borehole to regularly-spaced boreholes in proximity to know deposits. Geotest offered a full package including drilling, core orientation, geological logging R&R estimation and open pit design.

Project Challenge

It is a challenging project with services ranging from green field exploration to near-mine drilling and includes mining support services (geological modelling, R&R estimation and pit design).

• Core orientation
• Core logging
• Green field exploration

• Increase geological confidence in near-mining projects
• Resources and Reserves estmation
• Pit design and LoM planning

RESULTS

Project findings include the delineation of new stockwork material to rare medium-sized magnesite veins. The project successfully increase company’s resources and supported active operations and near mining projects.
