Geological Studies

We provides comprehensive geological services to many sectors in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We deliver both in-field and desktop services to a diverse range of clients who are interested in mineral exploration and mining.
The understanding of the sub-surface geology should always be a key priority and should be supported by good data, whatever the nature of your project we have the technical “know-how” and the experience to progress a geological project through all of the required stages

Desk Studies

Geological desk studies is the corner stone on which to start exploration work, including viewing all available geological “regional, Local and detailed” studies, every publication in scientific journals, scientific research institutions and industrial enterprises with using the satellite images processing by specialized programs to identify the nature of the rocks and the topography of the area and regional structural Ge ology.

Geological Survey Studies

In this stage the technical team carries out field visits to check the availability of Logistics for the project, in addition to recording the geological field observations to identify the main types of rocks and geological structures and general geological properties of the study area.

Surface Geological Exploration Studies

  • Detailed description of rock exposures to identify the time of deposition and depositional environment of sedimentary deposits.
  • Collecting rock samples to perform petrographic and ore-microscopy studies.
  • Geological Mapping to define lithology, stratigraphy and nature.
  • Carry out the geological structures measurements of ‘ Faults-Folds – Fractures…etc. ‘ strike, dip, Lineation, foliation, fold plunge and facing, fault displacement, direction and offset value  resulting from the movement.
  • Plotting the structural maps using En com Discover and Map info Software.
  • Statistical analysis of structural data using stereographic projection of Stereo net program.
  • Identify the structural controls associated with the mineralization.

Geochemical Studies

Alteration mapping to determine the concentrated mineral domains and to define controls on mineralization.
Generate geochemical maps to determine the spatial distribution & zones of concentration of chemical elements in rocks.
Geochemical programs design and implementation.
Collecting geochemical samples such as stream sediment, soil samples and rock chip samples, in addition to trench sampling.

Exploration Studies for Drilling Programs

  • Core/RC geological logging and core structural and geotechnical Logging in compliance with international industry standards.
  • Capturing and analyzing core samples photography.
  • Storing, managing and validating all drilling data (e g . collars, downhole survey, core orientation, geological, structural and  geotechnical Logging, photography, assay results and specific  gravity measurements).
  • Interpretation of multiple datasets in an integrated z-Dimensional environment using En com Discover Map info Software.
  • Generation of Isopach maps to determine the thickness of the subsurface Layers.
  • Generation of Isopleth (Grade) maps to determine the chemical  properties distribution of the subsurface. Layers

Samples Preparation

Sample preparation is a vital stage in the analytical process.
Correct preparation procedures allow representative sub-sampling which is the foundation of quality analysis. The selection of the specific sample preparation procedures will depend on the type and size of the sample and the mineralogy as well.
We are capable of carrying out samples preparation (drying, crushing, splitting, pulverizing and packing).
We have allthe equipment and workforce necessary to carry out
this mission successfully.
