Mineral Exploration Expertise
Unlocking The Potential Of Natural Resources.
Early-Stage Exploration
Early-stage exploration is the foundation of successful resource development. At Laser Resources Limited, we specialize in identifying and assessing mineral deposits in their earliest phases, providing clients with the geological insights necessary to guide future investment and exploration decisions.
Our services include geological mapping, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, and target generation—methods that build a comprehensive understanding of the geological landscape. By applying advanced analytical techniques and industry best practices, we help reduce exploration risks while highlighting the most prospective opportunities.
With our experienced team and multidisciplinary expertise, we ensure that projects begin with a strong technical basis. This approach not only improves the efficiency of exploration programs but also sets the stage for reliable resource delineation, estimation, and eventual project development.
Resource Delineation
Accurately defining the size, shape, and continuity of a mineral deposit is essential to advancing any exploration program. At Laser Resources Limited, our team employs advanced geological, geostatistical, and modelling techniques to delineate resources with precision, giving clients confidence in the extent and viability of their mineral assets.
Our approach includes carefully planned drilling programs, detailed sampling, and robust data analysis to refine geological models and reduce uncertainty. By integrating structural geology, ore body modelling, and database management, we deliver results that support both regulatory reporting standards and strategic project planning.
With reliable resource delineation, we help clients unlock the full potential of their mineral assets, ensuring that further exploration, feasibility studies, and mine development are built on a solid technical foundation.
Feasibility Studies
Feasibility studies are a vital stage in advancing a mining project from exploration to production. At Laser Resources Limited, we carry out comprehensive assessments that examine the economic, technical, and environmental factors influencing project viability. These studies provide clients with the clarity and confidence needed to make informed investment and development decisions.
Our expertise covers Pre-Feasibility Studies (PFS) and Definitive Feasibility Studies (DFS), both of which establish whether a resource can be mined profitably and sustainably. We evaluate project logistics, processing options, infrastructure requirements, financial models, and potential risks, while ensuring compliance with international reporting and regulatory standards.
By delivering robust, data-driven analyses, we provide a strong foundation for detailed engineering design, construction planning, and financing—helping clients advance their projects with confidence and credibility.
Comprehensive Drilling Solutions
Precision drilling for mineral exploration and assessment.
RC Grade Control Drilling
RC Grade Control Drilling (in-pit grade control) is used in open cut mines to define ore grades and provide knowledge for mine planning and blasting.
RC/GC is typical drilled to optimal depths of 48 meters using hole Ø 125-140mm.
This information is critical to reduce waste rock (dilution) in concentrator feed as dilution can vary greatly. RC grade control is the most cost effective and accurate way to define boundaries between waste rock and ore bodies.
Core Drilling
Core drilling is a system that drills and collects a core (cylindrical) sample in the state it is found, i.e. in-situ. The system known as ‘wireline coring’ is used, ie a diamond impregnated (hollow) core bit is used which cuts until the core barrel is full. Drilling Mud / Cutting oil cools/lubricates bit and acts as medium for lifting cuttings to surface.
Geodrill provides Core Drilling in the following sizes:
- HQ Ø 63.5 mm
- NQ Ø 47.6 mm
Auger Drilling
Auger drilling is a fast, cost-effective method for shallow drilling that is widely used in soil sampling, environmental assessments, and preliminary site investigations. At Laser Resources Limited, our auger drilling services provide clients with reliable subsurface information to guide early-stage exploration and project planning.
This technique is particularly effective for unconsolidated formations such as soil, sand, and clay, making it ideal for geotechnical studies, groundwater monitoring, and environmental baseline assessments. Our team applies best-practice sampling methods to ensure the integrity and accuracy of collected data, which can then be used to evaluate site conditions, assess potential risks, and support regulatory compliance.
With its speed, efficiency, and adaptability, auger drilling offers a practical solution for projects requiring rapid and accurate soil profiling—delivering valuable insights that form the basis for more detailed investigations and decision-making.
Reverse Circulation (RC)
Reverse Circulation (RC) – RC drilling is the most popular method undertaken by our customers and is typically drilled to depths of up to 400 metres.
RC drilling produces a hole size Ø 140mm and is generally faster than diamond core drilling and generally produces better samples than rotary air blast (RAB) drilling. Reverse Circulation (RC) is more expensive than RAB and Air-core drilling but less expensive than Core (DD) drilling.
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling produces rock chips rather than a Core sample. The RC method produces sample from depth by pulverizing rock with compressed air and a percussive hammer and returns it to surface through an inner tube and collects it through a cyclone then into a sample bag. Reverse Circulation (RC) is often used in conjunction with a multi-purpose rig to drill RC pre-collars with Core tails. This method is used extensively for exploration and resource drilling.
Tailored Geotechnical Solutions
Site Investigations
We conduct comprehensive site investigations to assess geological conditions, providing essential data for project planning and risk management.
Ground Testing
Our ground testing services offer insights into soil properties and stability, ensuring that projects are built on solid foundations and minimizing potential hazards.
Environmental Assessments
Environmental assessments are a crucial step in ensuring that mining and civil projects are developed responsibly and in compliance with regulatory requirements. At Laser Resources Limited, we conduct thorough evaluations to identify potential environmental impacts and provide strategies to minimize risk while supporting sustainable outcomes.
Our services include baseline environmental studies, monitoring programs, and impact assessments covering air, water, soil, and biodiversity. We also assist clients with regulatory approvals and reporting obligations, ensuring alignment with both local and international environmental standards.
By integrating environmental considerations into every stage of project planning, we help clients balance development goals with environmental stewardship—reducing risks, enhancing community confidence, and promoting long-term project sustainability.
