TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
MCS exploration and assessment services include the following:
Desk Study Data Review and Interpretation /
Target Generation
Our expert GIS analysis is an essential component of our
exploration and data management services. Early stage
exploration requires the amalgamation and interrogation of
many different data sources including:
Historical or hard copy geological maps.
Archive survey and sample data.
Up to date licence boundaries.
Modern geophysical or satellite imagery.
Using robust GIS techniques this information is displayed and
analysed to show targets, provide exploration focus and reduce
initial feld costs.
Reconnaissance
As information is collected from feld programmes, sample points
and assay results can be imported into the GIS model to display
workings and defne regional and local geological trends. This
information can then be analysed and used to refne targets and
identify new exploration areas. Core activities will include:
Geological mapping and ground truthing.
Competent Persons property review.
Surface sample programme design.
Data capture.
Interpretation and modelling.
MCS: EXPLORATION SERVICES
Grassroots & Exploration Drilling
To add confdence and fnancial value to an early stage project,
exploration drilling is required. Data derived from the GIS
target exploration model is used to design a drill programme
which will optimise return on investment and maximise the
resource prospectivity of the project. Our support services will
incorporate:
Targeted regional and prospect scale drill program design
and planning.
Drill programme management, logging and sampling.
Strategic recommendations on drilling and sampling
methods, analytical techniques and Quality Assurance/
Quality Control (QA/QC) requirements.

the block modelling and optimisation methodology recommended by MCS for all of their operations.
Allied Rise Group Ltd - MCS completed the preliminary assessment of the coal feld in China and then planned the infll drill
program. MCS then updated the estimation of the coal resources for a London submission.
Asia Gold Mining Company - MCS completed the design of resource defnition drilling and regional scout drilling. MCS estimated
the resources and managed the prefeasibility mining study in Mongolia.
JSC Zhayrem - Kazakhstan - MCS completed resource estimation of these structurally complex iron and manganese deposits
