Mineral Resource Estimation

Mineral resource estimation is a crucial part of any exploration project, especially when determining the economic viability of a deposit. Geological software modeling plays a key role in helping our clients assess the size and quantity of a resource accurately and in compliance with international standards, such as JORC (Australia), NI 43-101 (Canada), or SAMREC (South Africa).

Management and execution of exploration programs with Competent Person oversite.

Develop detailed exploration strategies based on geological data and mineral potential.
Design drilling programs to test the identified targets and optimize the exploration process.

Titan Minerals owes and uses the appropriate software for resource modelling and other mineral exploration applications. For example, MicroMine, Leapfrog, among others.

Competent Person reporting to international standards for Exploration and resource development projects.JORC/NI 43-101/SAMREC Compliance: Once the block model is created, the resource estimate needs to be reported in accordance with recognized international standards. These standards provide guidelines on how to classify and report mineral resources, and they require certain levels of confidence, transparency, and disclosure.
Technical Report: The estimation process should be accompanied by a technical report detailing all assumptions, methodologies, and results. This report must be prepared by a qualified person (QP) and should include information such as drill hole data, resource classification, estimation methodology, and any relevant environmental or social considerations.

Best Practices and Quality Assurance

Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA): It is essential to perform proper QC/QA measures on all the data, especially the assay results, to ensure the accuracy of the resource estimate.
External Reviews: Having third-party audits or reviews from qualified independent consultants can increase the credibility and reliability of the resource estimate, particularly if the project is being considered for financing or public reporting.

By utilizing advanced geological software and following international standards for mineral resource estimation, Titan can ensure that their resource estimates are accurate, transparent, and aligned with industry best practices.

Key Aspects of Mine Design:

Pit Geometry:
The mine design process involves creating a detailed pit layout from the optimized pit shell, defining the final pit’s walls, benches, and ramps.
Material Handling and Transport:
Once the ore is extracted, it needs to be transported to the processing plant or stockpile. Mine design includes planning for haul roads, stockpile areas, and crusher stations.
Mining Schedule:
A mine design must also incorporate a mining schedule, which outlines the order in which different areas of the pit will be mined. This schedule optimizes ore extraction while minimizing waste removal and ensuring a consistent supply of material for processing.
Environmental and Safety Considerations:
