Alpproject Consortium is a freewill association of competent persons (CP) and private companies, it is not a legal entity, it was established in 1992. Its main activity is geology and it has a huge experience of working for many local and international customers, such as Mining Concern "Kyrgyzaltyn", Newmont (USA), Kumtor Operating Company (Canada), Cameco (Canada), MMMA/JICA (Japan), TEKK (Canada), Apex (Israel), MINDECO (Japan), Phelps Dodge (USA), Barrick (USA) etc. Also it works for well-known international consulting companies (Micromine Consulting, CSA Global, SRK Consulting, Geoconsult Group).

Two leading experts of the Consortium are members of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists for many years, they have the status of "competent persons" and a meaningful experience of quality control of exploration and resource estimates on deposits in countries of CIS, Asia and Africa according to international standards (JORC-2012, NI43-101F1) and the requirements of the State Commission on Reserves (GKZ) of the CIS countries. The leading IT-manager of the Consortium is certified trainer in the use of the Micromine program.

Currently, the Consortium works in the following directions:
· Structural geological mapping of deposits and creation of 3D lithological models and 3D models of ore bodies
· Estimation of mineral resources according to JORC and GKZ standards
· Quality control of geological exploration process and quality control of laboratory tests according to JORC standards (QA/QC)
· Creating and quality control of databases (drill holes, trenches, assays etc.)
· Digitizing of raster data for further 3D modeling of sampling, surface and underground holes, types of rocks and ore bodies

Modern Issues in the Mining Sector and Proposed Solutions

With the steady growth of the global economy, the demand for industry in useful metals increases. However, the growth of the mineral resource base is limited by the number of fully explored deposits, the quantity of which approaches to zero over the years, and this imbalance is steadily growing because as potential investors are reluctant to make long-term investments and want to profit as quickly as possible.

At the same time, in recent decades, with a decline in the qualifications of practicing geologists, often only a formal calculation of resources is conducted, primarily through computerized block modeling. Real forms, sizes of ore bodies, and its spatial positions are often disregarded, with rare exceptions. More...

Optimization Example of Geological Exploration Works through the Application of Structural Modeling Method

Methodology of works

In recent decades, within the geological industry, there has been a substitution of the classical scheme of ore object exploration with mass sampling and drilling based on a grid, followed by resource estimation through block modeling. As a result, preemptive structural mapping and cross-section construction, reflecting the position of mineralized bodies, are almost excluded from the process, despite their crucial importance for a more accurate assessment in most cases.

Based on this, we propose returning to a scheme familiar to every geologist from basic training, enhancing it's by adding the capabilities of modern computer equipment, so this will allow enabling the correctness verification of geological constructions and immediate adjustment of errors during fieldwork.More...
