When Mother Nature brings an unexpected challenge to your project or operation, drilling alone may be cost-prohibitive and ineffective. Geophysical studies can quickly develop large visuals of subsurface information, allowing further drilling operations to be highly cost-effective and time efficient.

Slope stability is a major concern if the only thing between your mine and the Suriname River is an embankment of sand, especially if critical reserves require blasting in close proximity to the embankment. To keep the ore flowing out of the mine, GeoSonics/Vibra-Tech was brought in to establish vibration criteria and develop blast design recommendations to minimize the impact on the sand embankment.
