Golden Compass offers Geological Exploration and Mining Consultancy Services, include determine the areas of mining licenses according to all geodetic references and geographic coordinate systems and based on the specific minerals and their technical requirements. And Submit and follow up all type of mining license, with routinely fulfills technical reports that meet the required standard for all major reporting agencies. GC clients are delivered a timely, accurate, and independent study that is then filed to the appropriate reporting agency. Clients of all commodity types, including gold, copper, and phosphates, have called on GC to carry out reserves estimates, feasibility studies, and due diligence reviews in order to complete the required technical report.

GC prepares multi-scoping report for minerals license holder in Saudi Arabia yearly based report for exploration license, half year brief report for exploration license, annual exploration report for mining license, annual report for construction materials extraction, safety and workforce related reports, and financial reports for the holder of the mining license.

GC provides investors and owners with reports concerning mechanical, geological, and DMMR status of crushers and quarries in Saudi Arabia and GCC.

The Code for Reporting Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code) is widely accepted as a standard for professional reporting purposes. Since 1989 and 1992, respectively, it has been incorporated in the listing Rules of the Australian and New Zealand Stock Exchanges, making compliance mandatory for listing public companies in Australia and New Zealand.

• We collect and analyze all aspects of available historical data for an area with mineral occurrences or deposits. 
• We are specialized in determining the geological and site conditions – including soil type, rock type, resources, hydrology, vegetation, infrastructure and possible contaminations.
• Geological interpretation of aerial and satellite images.
• Reviews of previous reports and technical documents.
• Conceptual exploration program design.
• Analysis of national, regional and local specifics (country studies).
• Market and site analysis.
• Cost estimations.

We advise companies in the development, evaluation and implementation of mineral exploration strategies, programs and projects, in both brownfields and in Greenfield.

GC is very experienced at designing and implementing exploration programs, including:

• Establishing local administrative, permitting and environmental requirements:
• Specifying suitable and effective exploration activities.
• Logistical and safety planning.
• Field camp establishment.
• Sourcing and appointing sub-contractors.
• Specifying and sourcing the required equipment.
• Creating project plans.
• Devising budgets Geological Modeling, Structure & Alteration Analysis.
• Detailed structural analysis, from basin to ore deposit scale, emphasizing 4D (space + time) controls on mineralization.
• Detailed analysis of ore-related hydrothermal alteration to determine the history of mineralization, fluid/wall rock interaction, and fluid pathways.
• Regional scale geological mapping and modelling, with emphasis on placing mineralization within its ‘total geological setting’.
• Mapping of open pit and underground mines to improve ore definition and grade control.
• On-site structural geology training courses with a focus on practical tools for the explorationist and mine geologist.

• Understanding the pathfinder elements and geochemical signatures associated with different types of minerals deposit. 
• Designing and implementing preliminary geochemical orientation surveys. 
• Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QAQC) procedures and chain of custody considerations. 
• Laboratory selection and auditing. 
• Result validation, processing, and interpretation. 

GC has a whole range of geophysical techniques for various Exploration and mining related application:
Seismic Refraction Survey and Shear Wave Survey:

• For Rippability Assessment.
• Determination of stratigraphy.
• Slope stability studies.
• Gravity & Magnetic Surveys for Mineral Exploration 3. Electrical Imaging
• For ore body mapping.
• For water table mapping.
• For environmental studies.

GC is particularly proficient at mineral prospectively mapping, the selection of prospective areas and the identification of localized targets. The keys to this proficiency include:

• An understanding of the physical, geological, geochemical and geophysical characteristics of the type of mineral deposit being sought.
• The ability to recognize these characteristics in the available data.
• An insight into the geological setting and the relevant post-depositional events or processes that have affected the area being considered.
• Expertise in the use of Geographical Information System (GIS) software and the required modelling methods.

• Project planning, permitting and implementation.
• Drilling contracting and contract management.
• Data capture, management and reporting.
• Core logging and cutting.
• Geotechnical and water logging and monitoring.
• Desk studies and technical report writing.
• QA/QC design and implementation.
• Assay contracting and management.
• Logistics.
• Training of geologists and geological technicians

GC have experienced surveyors, who can be rapidly engaged to help capture, convert or improve your existing GIS database. GC can deliver complex processing results, multi-discipline figures, 3D Visualization, 2D plan views and figures at large scales or small scales depending on the data needed to be visualized.
