Exploration

The exploration of a mining site is vital to know if your project is going to have a chance at success. Groundhog Mining and Milling Co. is capable of assisting in the claim staking process, mineral analysis and surveys, and more. Groundhog utilizes early geological sampling and analysis of minerals and surface structures that could indicate the desired mineralization. 

Early exploration largely consists of surveying and mapping geophysical studies to more accurately locate minerals present in an area. Groundhog has the equipment, experience, and knowledge to produce quality results and maximum core recovery from diamond drilling and analyzing/assaying. With positive core drilling results, Groundhog would begin risk assessment, resource modeling, environmental analysis, preliminary mine design and strategy, and any metallurgical/feasibility/etc.. tests that are needed for the project. We provide both surface and underground drilling services to support all operational phases.
