Geological Field Services
APEX offers a full suite of geological field services in any terrain or climate. Field crews are experienced with soil and rock sampling from small, targeted prospecting programs to large property or regional scale programs with > 10,000 samples. We provide detailed geological mapping, and ground geophysics, including magnetic and very low frequency (VLF); which, used in combination, can define important geological units and structures for targeting. We provide clean usable data from the field in real time. APEX is also experienced in collecting till samples, trenching, bulk samples, water samples and biogeochemical samples.
APEX provides quality drill program management from grass-roots exploration to advanced resource definition drilling. Our field geologists are experienced at planning drillholes, managing drill rigs, logging core, logging and collecting chips, collecting geotechnical data, specific gravity, and orientated core measurements, as well as collection and control of secure sampling.
Our team of experienced geoscientists can provide property evaluation, qualified professional site visits towards technical reporting, as well as mine geology, grade control and ore reconciliation. We are also experienced with ensuring projects are meeting permit and compliance conditions, and complete best practice for reclamation.
