Project generation, reporting and tenement management
Area reviews and target generation
NGS provides extensive area review reports compiling existing data and reports (freely available or under paywall) available from the area of interest. We can conduct regional evaluations with focus on certain commodities in order to identify potential exploration targets within Nordic countries.
Exploration reservation/license applications and Tenement management
NGS can prepare necessary documents to authorities for exploration reservation and mineral exploration licence applications. We also manage mandatory reporting to authorities.
Community and stakeholder relationships
Open communication with different stakeholder in mineral exploration project is a key to project success. Our services include e.g:
- Newspaper announcement at start of the exploration campaigns
- Organizing stakeholder events
- Communication and interaction with project stakeholders
Qualified Person reports
Qualified and Competent persons in NGS are able to provide reporting according to NI 43-101 or JORC standards.
Field services
Mineral exploration project management
NGS offers mineral exploration project planning, execution and project management for short-term and long-term mineral exploration projects in Finland, Sweden and Norway for early-stage prospecting to more advanced project with drilling and resource evaluations. We have a long experience on managing mineral exploration projects in its various stages, and can utilize our wide network for subcontracting in different tasks when needed.
Contract geologists
NGS provides contract geologists of various level of expertise (students, early career professionals, senior level professionals) for field work or desktop based studies. Contact us for further information of available geologists for your project.
Mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry
Petrography, ore microscopy and mineral geochemistry
We offer petrographical analyses of natural rocks using polarization- and reflected light microscopy from thin sections or polished rock slabs/mounts (only reflected light).
Petrographical reports can be modified according your specific needs and focus.
We use external providers to have an access to various types of analytical equipments suitable for mineral composition analyses. Most commonly used methods include FE-EPMA (Field Emission Electron Microprobe), FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope) and XRD (X-Ray powder diffraction) in the Centre of Material Analysis in the University of Oulu . Other methodologies are also available and services are always customized according to clients needs.
Geochemical data processing
We use external geochemical laboratories for whole-rock geochemical analyses. Our services include:
- Sampling (e.g. Drill core or field sampling)
- Finding the best analytical method for the project
- Whole-rock geochemical data processing and interpretation based on the client needs (e.g. lithogeochemistry).
