MGS specialize in the structural field analysis of mines and prospects. MGS’ principal consultant, Dr. Murphy has considerable experience of detailed structural studies of mines and prospects throughout the World since 1990.

Services

• Analysis of the geometry and kinematics of veins and mineralized structures.
  
• Analysis of shear zone geometry and kinematics, and the identification of restraining and releasing bends.
• Analysis of fault geometry and kinematics and the identification of dilation zones.

• Analysis of vein systems and the determination of the kinematics associated with vein opening.
  
• Analysis of the structural history of a deposit.
• Determination of fluid drive, fluid pathways and fluid focusing mechanisms.
  

• Analysis of ground preparation mechanisms.
  
• Analysis of pre-, syn- and post-mineral structures and their controls on ore deposit geometry.
• Structural evaluation of prospects to help focus exploration and identify or prioritize new exploration targets.
  

• Interpretation of high resolution remotely sensed data (e.g. WorldView, GeoEye-1, Pleiades, QuickBird, SPOT 5, aerial/drone).
  
• Identification of new ore shoots, satellite ore bodies and new exploration targets within the prospect/mine area.
