Logging core samples is an essential part of mineral exploration as it helps geologists and mining engineers determine the size, shape, and mineral composition of an ore body. This information is crucial for making informed decisions about the viability of a mining project and the best methods for extraction. Core samples also provide valuable data for geotechnical studies, resource estimates, and grade control.The process of logging core samples typically starts with drilling into the ground to obtain cylindrical sections of rock, known as core. The core is then carefully extracted and transported to a laboratory for analysis. Before logging the core samples, it is important to have a clear understanding of the geological structure and mineralization of the ore body. This information can be obtained through geological mapping, geophysical surveys, and geochemical studies.
The key components of logging core samples are: Description of lithology (the physical characteristics of the rock); Mineral identification and quantification; Structural analysis; Alteration mineral mapping; Assaying (determining the mineral content)

We provide professional core logging for any exploration drilling programs including RC Drilling (Reverse Circulation Drilling) for all rock formations and in any part of the world.
And moreover, we carry out a structural analysis and measurements in the ORIENTED CORE using recent top-notch approaches. In addition, we developed an original technique for structural measurements using oriented core photographs.

We also designed a special device to help significantly with taking structure orientation measurements in the oriented core (and in the rock outcrops).
