EXPLORATION & MINING

Geotechnical Engineering Service.

Geotechnical Investigation Drilling including Augerring and Coring drilling, Standard Penetration

Test (SPT) performance, on site soil and Rocks sample selection for laboratory Testing etc.

Geophysical surveys, including seismic refraction, electrical resistivity, ground penetration radar, and geotechnical engineering and design services.

Geotechnical construction services to support new construction projects, i.e. Highway material selection and Testing, Sample testing, laboratory testing for soil modification, evaluation of foundation bearing conditions, and site geotechnical investigations. Pressure meter testing in-situ (in place) testing performed to maximize the information obtained during subsurface exploration and field-testing programs, and to provide the project team with bearing capacity and settlement analysis information.

Drilling.

We design drilling programme based on Exploration Data,

we supervise and provide the following drilling services: -

Air Circulation (AC) Drilling Services.

Rotary Air Blast (RAB) Drilling Services.

Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling Services.

Diamond core Drilling Services.

 

Mineral Exploration Services.

Geophysical Survey Services such as Ground Magnetic Survey, Airborne Magnetic Survey, Induced Polarization (IP) Survey, Controlled Source Audio Magnetotelluric method, Transient Electromagnetic method etc. Geochemical Survey Services such as the use of NITON XRF Machine for rapid delineation of geochemical anomalies, increase sample density over tradition lab methods and direct analysis of drill core and cutting to drive mineral exploration directly on site. Mining Engineering Planning such as Mining Engineering planning, mining planning and scheduling, Mine production. Environmental Impact Assessment-Environmental Approvals and Compliance, Mine Operation Support, Environmental Management, Mine Closure and Rehabilitation.

 

Mine Closure planning.

Mine Closure Planning is both a legal requirement and an industry’s good practice that allows Mines to carry out designs with mine closure in mind. Early planning for closure enables the Company to address specific Project issues and uncertainties in the designs which can be updated over the life cycle of the Project. With limited information at the feasibility study stage regarding

Closure, a conceptual plan is usually prepared and is required in Tanzania as part of the Environmental Impact Statement that needs Government approval prior to issuance of the Mining Licence. The Conceptual Closure Plan needs to be updated regularly as more operational data, information and studies become available. Savijo Geo-Engineering Company assists its Clients in preparation of conceptual closure plans and updating them to Detailed Closure Plans.

 

Permits minerals rights and Management services.

Savijo Geo-Engineering Company carries out the required processes to prepare and submit mining and prospecting right applications, this includes all the necessary permits and related authorizations.

We provide services of preparing a Legal Register/permitting plan based on a legislative review and in relation to a particular project, from the initial stages of the project, execution and closure.

This will form a primary reference document and will be the basis of the assessment of legal compliance in the HSE field.

Mining Engineering Services.

Conducting Feasibility study which analyses and select the optimum mining methods, mine access, production planning and scheduling, personnel and material handling, mine services, financial and economic analysis. Sensitivity analysis and risk assessment, infrastructure requirements and environmental analysis and Preparation of bankable reports.

Artisanal and Small-scale Mining.

Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) is commonly carried out in many parts of Tanzania aiming at production of various types of minerals such as sand, gold, gemstones, gravels, tin, copper ores, gypsum, dimension stones and industrial minerals to mention a few. Savijo Geo-Engineering

Company Ltd provides high quality independent and professional consultancy services to governments, NGOs, aid agencies and the private sector in supporting small scale mining within Tanzania and outside Tanzania. Small scale operations usually have limited funding, and ability to optimize the use of fund is critical in these operations. With the increasing overheads and commitments associated with employing full-time staff, outsourcing of Exploration and Mining Personnel makes good economic and legal sense.
