From exploration to closure: control dilution, lower the cost per tonne and build a financeable project.
ForIndustrial and semi-mechanised mines, quarries, permit holders, investors
The value of a mining project is rarely lost in the deposit: it is lost in design, mining sequence and dilution. Every tonne of waste sent to the concentrator lowers the feed grade and consumes haulage, grinding energy and reagents, with no value in return.
Geological and structural mapping, geochemistry, geophysics (48-electrode resistivity tomography, magnetometry, gravimetry), RTK drone, field XRF, exploration drilling and core drilling, JORC and NI 43-101 resources.

Formalisation of cooperatives, mercury-free gold recovery, on-site training, equipment for sale or rental.
You gainHigher recovery, legal activity, traceable gold.
Geological mapping, RTK drone surveys, field X-ray fluorescence, 48-electrode electrical tomography and magnetometry: we gather the data that guide the drilling campaign before its cost is committed. Our geological engine ranks zones of Cameroon by lithium, graphite and copper potential, for Pi Market clients.
Pit optimisation, bench geometry, haul roads, extraction sequence, drilling and blasting, operator training: an operation sized for your deposit and your equipment fleet.
Ramps, crosscuts, level accesses, ventilation, sub-level retreat and cut and fill methods: level plans reviewed with geotechnics, geology and production, usable by the shift supervisor underground.
Drill rings, charging plans and blast records, hole by hole. Controlled fragmentation protects the walls, limits overbreak and reduces dilution: this is where the grade sent to the concentrator is decided.
The same LiDAR maps ground support bolts in drifts, where there was previously only visual inspection, and measures barge loading. Hard data for safety and for transport.
Every truck passes under the Ayavex ScanHaul gantry: the LiDAR measures, at operating speed, the loaded volume and the material remaining in the truck body. The truck, the loader, the source stope and the time are entered into Pi Tracking. Tonnes are no longer declared by the bucket: they are measured, trip by trip, and tracked to the port.
Two- and four-week plans, weekly level plans, technical reviews: geology, geotechnics, drilling, production and backfill converge on a single plan, and variances are reported without delay.
Exploration drilling, core drilling, production drilling, inclined and sub-horizontal drilling, auger drilling on tailings, raise boring, slope instrumentation, anchors and dewatering. Diamond Spectrum also trains your operators, with BQA accreditation, on your own equipment.
Rotations, camp life, extreme cold, safety first: our team knows life on a remote mine site and how to hold a schedule there.
Level plans, blast rings, schedules and reconciliations, as we deliver them to your teams.
Plan review, blast plan, dilution audit, targeted study.
On-site production monitoring: Pi Tracking and Ayavex scans installed, shift supervisors and operators trained.
