Exploration

The exploration of a mining site is vital for investors, new projects, and current operations in order to know if your project is going to have a chance at success. Groundhog Mining and Milling Co. can assist you at every step along the way. We are capable of mineral analysis and surveys, and assisting in the claim staking process. Groundhog has experience capable of early geological sampling and analysis of minerals and surface structures that could indicate potential. Early exploration largely consists of surveying and mapping geophysical studies to more accurately locate minerals present in an area. Groundhog has the equipment and the people experienced and knowledgeable in core drilling and analyzing/assaying. We provide both surface and underground drilling services to support all operational phases. Our drillers are both experienced and motivated to produce quality results regarding timeliness and maximum core recovery. With positive core drilling results, Groundhog exploration would begin risk assessment, resource modeling, environmental analysis, preliminary mine design and strategy, and any other metallurgical/feasibility/etc… tests that are needed or desired for the project.
