- Full lifecycle
- Exploration to extraction
- Multi-mineral
- Sands, copper and ores
- EIA
- Environmental compliance
From field investigation to project design
Heavy mineral sands, chromite, manganese, copper, and iron ore.
Brantel Mineral Exploration and Mining Services (BMEMS) conducts systematic exploration campaigns for its own concessions and for joint ventures. Senior economic geologists guide programmes across Sri Lanka and international jurisdictions.
Mining engineers, geologists, and metallurgists apply geostatistical modeling and precision surveying to recovery, safety, and environmental standards. Extraction includes progressive backfilling, topsoil preservation, watershed protection, and native reforestation after closure.
Exploration methodology
Mapping, geophysics, drilling, assay, and the studies that take a target to a permit.
Field geological mapping
Systematic geological and structural mapping identifying potential target zones and structural controls across virgin terrain.
Geophysical investigation
Electrical (VES, CVES, SP and IP), electromagnetic (FDEM and TDEM), magnetic, GPR, and gravity methods to delineate mineralized structures.
Exploration drilling and logging
Planning and execution using company-owned and contracted drill rigs, encompassing core and chip logging, spatial sampling, and 3D deposit modeling.
Laboratory sample analysis
Certified X-ray fluorescence (XRF) for whole-rock oxides, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) for base metals, and grain counting for mineral sands.
Mine feasibility and compliance
Preparation of NI 43-101 / JORC technical studies, environmental impact assessments (EIA), and environmental management plans (EMP).
Mine engineering and operations
Preliminary economic assessments and feasibility
Pre-feasibility and definitive feasibility studies modeling capital cost, operating cost, and financial viability.
JORC and NI 43-101 reserve estimations
Geostatistical block modeling and resource classification for investors and stakeholders.
Open-pit and underground mine planning
Pit optimization, production sequencing, haulage network engineering, and waste dump stabilization.
Active open-pit extraction and processing
Operational equipment management, selective blasting, ore extraction, and on-site mineral concentration.
Mine audits and environmental stewardship
Production reconciliations, safety governance, and progressive land rehabilitation.
