Mining
exploration is by any measure, a high risk business. Vestiga’s aim is to minimize the initial financial
risk for that first stage site evaluation. Vestiga provides
a systematic approach which embraces an innovative solution,
in short, a complete end to end service, if required, from sample
collection to interpretative analysis.
Terrain and distance present no
barrier to our commitment to the delivery of a cost
effective outcome.
 Vestiga
applies innovative techniques used for the location of blind
mineral resources which are not generally detectable by traditional geochemical methods.
There is an alternative to
traditional geochemical exploration techniques that
relies on the use of acid, cyanide or flux
leaching/dissolution of primary and/or secondary dispersion
samples to extract the relevant metal component to delineate
anomalies. The application of these techniques is
appropriate where mineralisation has a moderate to strong surficial geochemical expression. However, an increasing
number of current mineral discoveries are commonly too
deeply buried, or have too weak a surficial geochemical
signature, to be detected by traditional geochemical
techniques. As a result, vast tracts of potentially the most
fertile geological terrains of Australia, and indeed, other
continents, are sterilised to geochemical exploration
through lack of appropriate analytical protocols. Such
areas, generally of Precambrian age, host the greater
percentage of world-class ore bodies. Exploration through
deep cover presently involves expensive and speculative
drill sampling. There is a cost effective alternative for
that initial site evaluation.

  Recent
advances in geochemical exploration protocols continue to be
developed to address the issue of deeply buried, or blind,
mineral resources lacking a traditional surface geochemical
response. The analytical techniques based on enzyme and
differential leaching technology, have been used with
varying success by many organisations worldwide and may, in
many cases, be of value in the delineation of geochemical
anomalies associated with precious and base metal
mineralisation. However, their use is frequently limited to
deposits that are relatively close to surface beneath
residual overburden. Our investigation process steps
beyond those boundaries. Our unique first stage bacterial leaching
technique provides data across a wide range of elements simultaneously,
up to 60,
multi-element association patterns have resulted in the
identification of mineralised areas. Vestiga
data will be invaluable in determining zonal patterns and mine
mapping.
The bottom line is that Vestiga provides access to
a wide range of expertise, experience and investigative
resources. Vestiga offers a cost
effective advantage, for that initial site survey, we offer a
disciplined and systematic approach. Once defined,
geophysical and other geochemical tools can be applied to
validate results. In order to minimise risk, Vestiga will also give consideration to
joint venture proposals.
