Leverage Your Borehole Investment [PDF ]

An improved understanding of your deposit empowers informed decisions resulting in significant
cost savings throughout the mining project lifecycle. DGI approaches every borehole as an opportunity to acquire the critical high-resolution data necessary to build the most accurate subsurface model possible.

Traditional drill programs require a significant investment to obtain basic subsurface information. Through Advanced Borehole Geophysics, DGI reliably delivers a wealth of in-situ information for a fraction of a drill program budget.

Our Methods

Our experienced field staff and data analysts follow DGI specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and QA/QC protocols to deliver a premium product. The Advanced Borehole Geophysics approach enables a quantifiable assessment of the entire borehole (in-situ) with multiple geophysical and geotechnical parameters acquired within the borehole itself. This approach enables applications in:

• Geologic Characterization – characterizes physical rock properties to establish unique signatures;
• Delineation and Resource Estimate – unique signatures identify rock type quickly, accurately and cost-effectively;
• In-situ Assay – in some circumstances with calibration from lab assay (eg. Iron Ore - Density, Magnetite % estimate);
• Geotechnical Assessment – precision oriented structural information critical for mine planning, mine construction, economic feasibility and safety planning;
• Environmental Monitoring – determine a natural baseline prior to significant land-use activity; enables environmental planning, execution, monitoring and detection

Results

Our customers benefit from an improved understanding of their deposit and geologic environment. Approaching each and every borehole as an opportunity to acquire the critical high-resolution data necessary to build the most accurate subsurface model results in significant cost savings throughout the mining project lifecycle.
