We provide team including senior geologist, well site geologist, data geologist and geotechnician to handle of all aspect of drilling programmes. We manage the drilling contractors, geophysical logging contractors  and also the laboratories, and ensure that the core and/or cuttings get logged, sampled and recorded as reliable good quality data to build precise and accurate  geological and resource model. We use proven standard operating procedures which are based on international best practice. We have experience to manage the drilling progrrammes in accordance with both JORC and KCMI standard.

Our associates/consultants have relevant experience with many commodities and mineralization styles in many area in Indonesia.

During the project we provide communication of progress and result such as daily report with up-to-date sampling and drilling penetration and weekly technical reports equipped with maps and sections showing the progress and important findings to date.

Exploration Sampling QA/QC

Procedure of Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QA/QC) and proper sampling technique are very crucial in mineral deposit exploration to ensure confidence in resource modeling and estimation those lead to precise and accurate reserve estimation. Noras nusantara realize that the reliability of estimation is rely on the quality of the data used.

Our experts have both capability and experiences in validation and review on QA/QC procedure or protocols, sample database, and give an advice related to appropriate sampling strategy and sampling techniques.

Topography & Collar Survey, Bench Mark Positioning

We do the topography survey which are used to identify and map the contours of ground and existing features related to exploration and mining activity. The amount and type of topographical survey collected on site is based on client specification. Beside topography survey Noras Nusantara also provide Collar Survey of drill hole.

We realize that 3D topographic model and collar will determined the quality of  3D geological and resource model so that we do accurate survey by empowering professional surveyor and high-end technology to ensure the quality of result.

The final topography survey drawings will be provided as output either digita or hard copies. Digital information can be provided in either 2D and/or 3D file format.

Study

Exploratory Data Analysis

Noras nusantara realize that Exploratory Data Analysis is an essential part of every high quality, mineral inventory estimation. The analysis involves a careful organization of available quantitative data that are the basis of the estimate and the formation of composite grades.Data organization and evaluation are involve more than half of the effort necessary to develop a mineral inventory estimation.

Our experts believe that by providing insight into characteristics of the variables under investigation then good quality of estimation can be achieved.

Main objectives of EDA including :

  • Identify and eliminate errors;

  • Provide a comprehensive understanding of the statistical characteristics of all variables of interest for resource estimation

  • Document and understand the interrelationships among the variables of interest

  • Identify and assign distinctive geological domains that require independent estimation of mineral inventory;

  • Recognize systematic spatial variation of variables such as grade and thickness of mineralized zones.

3D Geological Modeling

Our modeling geologist combine their skills in geological interpretation, familiarity of deposit style with the application of modeling software packages to develop 3D Geological Model. We realize that geological modeling is multiple working hypothesis (dynamics) so that we focused on testing, validating and evaluating applied solutions in the exploration process to deliver reliable geological model.

Resource & Reserve Estimation, JORC & KCMI Standard

Noras Nusantara have experience in building and reviewing geological models and resource estimation for many commodities and deposit types in Indonesia. Not by grade alone, our geologist also using defined geological criteria and control to model the coal and mineral deposit.

We realize that the accurate mineral resource models will help in developing effective and economic mine plan. We combining modern software & technology with our strong geological understanding to developing reliable resource model.  Our associates (competent persons) have proven capability to produce both  internationally accepted resource reporting codes such us JORC as well as  local (Indonesian) standard – KCMI.

Once the resource model is defined the modifying factor will be applied to convert the resource into reserves. We realize that assumption and information are used as modifying factor must be reliable those assessed and applied by experienced people. Our associates have extensive experience to estimate and report the coal &mineral reserves in accordance with international standard report and have valuable insight in industry best practice.
