CONSULTING SERVICES

Modern consulting expertise for Ni-Cu, PGE, Cr and Fe-Ti-V oxide deposits now goes far beyond the conventional site visit with follow-up recommendations as was the case not too many years ago. However, unless the consultant and his team are very well versed and experienced in utilizing and interpreting geophysics, geochemistry, remote sensing, drill hole targeting techniques and software the likelihood of exploration success is rather bleak in this modern era of exploration in areas of limited to no rock exposure (Ring of Fire, Ontario) or exploration for deep targets (Thompson Nickel Belt, Sudbury, Raglan, etc.). Through its years of experience and contacts, NiPtx Inc. brings together a team of world-class professionals and contractors to get the job done successfully, and in the most cost effective manner. Below is a brief list of some of the added value products NiPtx Inc. brings to its clients projects:

Geophysics

1. Recommend the most effective type of ground and airborne geophysical surveys for the project.
   
   
2. Interpretation of existing geophysical data.
   
   
3. Interface with world-class geophysical associates.
4. Acquire geophysical inversions from existing or new geophysical data.
   
   
5. Integrate geophysical and geological data.

Geochemistry

1. Lithogeochemistry
   1. Analyse whole rock and 4-acid ICP data for metallogenic vectors in order to evaluate the prospectivity of the property.
      
      
      
   2. Establish a lithological classification for rocks and core based on whole rock or 4-acid ICP analytical data in order to remove the rock type inconsistencies introduced by loggers interpretations.
   3. Chemostratigraphic analyses to disclose hidden or cryptic geochemical/metal trends and lateral lithological trends, and telescoping mineralization from disseminated to massive.

   

2. Applied geochemistry
   1. Design and manage soil and stream geochemical surveys.
   2. Establish and oversee strick QA-QC protocols.
   3. Analyse and interpret survey data.
      
3. Analytical protocols
   1. Suggest the best and most cost effective analytical packages for the clients' needs.
      
      
4. Portable XRF (PXRF) Surveys
   1. Training field crews for in-situ portable XRF analyses in Ni-Cu-PGE exploration programs.
      
      

      

   2. Establishing QA-C protocols and standards for Ni-Cu-PGE exploration programs.
      

      

   3. Design regional PXRF reconnassiance surveys for Ni-Cu-PGE exploration.
      

      

   4. Design detailed PXRF surveys for Ni-Cu-PGE exploration.
      

      

QA-QC

1. Recommend appropriate certified reference material (standards, blanks, etc.) for the project.
   
   
2. Establish QA-QC protocol with analytical laboratory and field/drill core logging geologists.
3. Rigorous "industrial quality" QA-QC analyses of data during and after program.

Petrological Investigations

1. Petrographic Studies.
2. Ore Textural studies and mineralogical constituents.
   
   
3. Petrological classifications: thoeleiitic, komatiitic, ferro-picritic, alkaline.

Site Visits & Field Work

1. Site visits to the property to give on-site impressions and recommendations.
2. Follow-up field work and examinations required for "Due Diligence" purposes.

Mapping

1. Detailed examinations and mapping of mineralized areas.
2. Production of low-altitude, high resolution orthophoto base maps to aid mapping.
3. Advice on how to map mineralized zones and surrounds, and teach exploration staff on mafic-ultramafic mapping techniques.
4. On-site orthophoto base map preparation of high resolution low altitude photographic base maps for mapping (helicopter and Drone platforms).

Remote Sensing

1. Production of digital elevation models (DEM) based on availability of elevation data: SRTM, LIDAR, ASTER, CDED (government digital elevation data), vectorized topographic maps, geophysical survey DEM data, etc. DEM's are invaluable products for interpreting the structure, controls and lateral continuity of prospective properties.
   
   
2. Production of on-site low-altitude, high resolution orthophotography for base maps and ground control point (GCP) GPS registration and confirmation.
   
   
   
3. Acquisition and contracting of satellite imagery: Landsat, SPOT, IKONOS, QuickBird, ASTER, WorldView2 & 3 and subsequent interpretation, re-processing, resolution enhancement, and classifications.
   
   
4. Layout and manage LIDAR and orthophoto surveys.
5. Acquire and mosaic government airphoto and topographic data for project areas.

Drill Hole Targeting

1. Build drill hole projects in Oasis Montaj, Target, GOCAD, Leapfrog.
   
   
2. Integrate geophysical plate modeling (Maxwell), inversions, BHEM survey data into the prject for better control on targeting.

Compilations

1. Acquire legacy exploration data and convert from non-earth exploration grid to a modern UTM based GIS project.
2. Integrate the compiled GIS geology, geophysical, geochemical and drill hole data.

Program Design & Layout

1. Design all aspects of the exploration program to meet clients' needs and budget.
2. Engage other geological, geophysical and GIS associates to work with the client.
3. Recommend Phase II and Phase III of successful projects.

Geostatistics

1. Conduct detailed descriptive statistics, factor analysis, correlations, classifications, etc. of clients' digital numeric data to establish if correlations and/or factors exist that could be used as a tool in advancing the exploration program.

Other

1. Arrange for resource evaluation.
2. Arrange metallurgical studies.
