Preliminary Assessment

The aim of the preliminary assessment is the determination of inferred resource. In compliance with international standards, e.g. JORC or NI 43-101, this is the first step towards a reliable reserve evaluation of a mineral property. The main focus of the preliminary assessment is field exploration and a first analysis of samples collected. ANZAPLAN supports preliminary assessments with on-site sampling, certified mineralogical and chemical analysis of field samples, and evaluation of the results of geological field studies. A first assessment of mineral resource can then be made.

As part of our consulting, ANZAPLAN experts are active in the quality assurance of preliminary assessments of existing projects.
