Advancing Geological Insight

Introduction
Hunter Geology Group is a specialist geological consultancy supporting advanced exploration and mining projects. We combine rigorous 3D and structural geology with clear mineral economics to help clients understand their orebodies and make better decisions about them.

The team behind Hunter Geology Group has worked together for the past ten years across some of the most technically demanding exploration and mining projects in Australia and internationally.

We specialise in advanced exploration and mining projects, with a particular focus on 3D geology, structural geology and mineral economics. It is a combination that lets us advance projects from early exploration all the way through to production and optimisation of existing operations.

What We Do

3D Geological Modelling:  Robust, data-driven models that make sense of complex geology and support resource estimation and mine planning.

Structural Geology:  Structural interpretation and controls on mineralisation that sharpen targeting and reduce project risk.

Mineral Economics:  Economic evaluation that connects the geology to value, from early concept through to development.

Credentials

Our team holds the professional qualifications and registrations expected of senior geologists, including recognition as Competent Persons under the JORC Code and Qualified Persons under NI 43-101.

Why Work With Us

A small, seasoned team that has worked together for more than a decade, delivering technical geology across projects in Australia and internationally in North America and Europe.
When you engage us, you work directly with the people that know what it takes to build a project into a mine.

Our Services

Geological Services

Core Technical Services

  • 3D Geological Modelling and Workflows. We build and refine three-dimensional models that integrate drilling, mapping, geophysics and other datasets, ready to support resource estimation and exploration targeting.

    • Structural modelling

    • Numerical modelling

    • Repeatable modelling workflows and standards

    • Integration of multi-source datasets

  • Structural Geology. We provide structural interpretation that identifies the controls on mineralisation and the framework for targeting.

    • Analysis across scales, from regional and district through prospect to individual outcrop or drillhole

    • Identification of controls on mineralisation

    • Targeting frameworks

    • Structural input to drill planning

  • Drill Core Logging and Sampling. We set up logging systems and undertake logging and sampling across drill types.

    • Setting up logging systems, templates and standards

    • Diamond core logging

    • RC logging

    • Auger

    • Sampling protocols

  • Geological Mapping. We design and undertake geological mapping campaigns, from reconnaissance through to detailed prospect scale to underground face mapping.

  • Geochemistry and Vectoring. We design and run geochemical sampling campaigns and interpret the results to vector toward mineralisation.

    • Designing and undertaking geochemical sampling campaigns

    • Geochemical analysis and vectoring

  • Prospectivity Analysis and Target Generation. We combine structure, geochemistry, geophysics and geology into prospectivity analysis that generates and ranks targets on multiple geological indicators.

  • Geophysics, Remote Sensing and Hyperspectral Interpretation. We interpret geophysical and remote sensing datasets and integrate them with the geological picture.

    • Magnetics

    • Gravity

    • Radiometrics

    • Seismic

    • Induced polarisation (IP)

    • ASTER and Sentinel satellite imagery

    • LiDAR

    • Hyperspectral analysis

  • Data Management and QAQC. We set up and manage geological databases and the quality controls that keep data reliable from the field through to reporting.

    • Database setup and management workflows

    • QAQC processes and sampling methodology

    • Data integration across datasets

Project Support and Assurance

  • Mineral Economics and Feasibility assessments

  • Advanced Exploration Support. We support advanced projects moving toward a resource through targeting, drill program design and review, and data integration.

  • Mining Project Support. For projects in development and production, we provide the geological and structural input for resource conversion, mine planning and operations.

  • Technical Review and Reporting. We provide independent technical review and reporting to recognised standards.

    • Reporting in JORC and NI 43-101 format

    • Independent technical review

    • Competent Person (JORC Code) and Qualified Person (NI 43-101) sign-off
