Mineral Exploration

How to find the commodity mineral resource and mining situation is a key step for a mine project. The result of exploration consulting and mine evaluation can help you to understand better about the mine geology situation, mine conditions and ore property analysis, preparing for the following feasibility study and preliminary design.

At present, HOT owns two Fellow members (FAusIMM) and three Members (MAusIMM) in the Australasia Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, becoming one of the companies with the largest number of AusIMM members in China.

Our resource modeling and estimation can better reflect the real situation and potential value of resources, under the support of our rich experience in structural geology and deposit geology, our understanding of geostatistics and our experience in resource estimation and mining management.
