- Geologic Exploration & Mapping
- Economic Evaluation of Mineral Resources (includes rip rap & armor stone certifications)
- Conduct mineral reserve and economic analyses, aggregate and other industrial mineral quality testing/analyses, geologic mapping/modeling, hydrology studies, report & map preparation with recommendations for land owners, geologists, mining engineers or senior management. Reports typically include geologic maps, cross-sections, and detailed analysis of economic evaluation.
- Perform US Army Corps of Engineer Class 3 Rip Rap and Armor Stone Certifications.
- Manage exploration and geologic evaluation of Greenfield sites, expansion of existing mine operations, or strategic potential acquisitions, including drill crew supervision.
- Interact or represent owners with various federal, state, and county regulatory agencies relative to groundwater, surface water, land disturbance activities, UST abandonment and remediation, and mine safety.
- Slope Stability Determinations
- Identify rockfall hazards and recommend slope stability mitigation methods.
- Experienced using Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program (CRSP) to determine rockfall hazards and potential slope reconfigurations to minimize rockfall occurrence. CRSP studies can be utilized to insure mine plans provide a safe working environment.
- Use Rock Pack and CRSP software to evaluate slope safety factors, which are recognized as industry standards for slope stability evaluations by MSHA and other regulatory agencies.
- Compliance with regulatory agency standards and citation reviews
- Environmental Assessments
- Provide phase 1 audit of property for real estate transactions.
