One Company across the full mining value chain.

Most operators hand the orebody between a survey firm, a driller, an engineer and a processor. Al Haytham keeps it under one accountable team — so geological data flows cleanly from the first core sample to the final screened product.

← All services

From first survey to resource model.

Exploration is where risk is either reduced or inherited. Our geologists combine field mapping, geophysical surveys, geochemical sampling and structural interpretation to build a defensible picture of a deposit before a single tonne is committed to.

Every dataset is captured to a standard that flows directly into the next stage — so the same ground truth carries through drilling, engineering and into the pit.

At AGC, our goal is simple: to provide dependable geological expertise that helps clients unlock the full potential of their projects. Through technical excellence, industry experience, and a commitment to quality, we deliver geological solutions that support successful exploration, resource development, and sustainable mining operations.

Sample Preparation

From core to assay-ready — without compromising integrity.

Accurate sample preparation is a critical step in the mineral exploration and analytical process. The quality of analytical results depends heavily on how well samples are prepared, as proper preparation ensures representative sub-sampling and reliable laboratory outcomes. Selecting the appropriate preparation method requires careful consideration of the sample type, size, and mineralogical characteristics.

At AGC, we provide professional sample preparation services designed to maintain sample integrity and deliver consistent, high-quality results. Our experienced team follows established procedures and quality control measures throughout every stage of the process, ensuring that samples are prepared accurately and efficiently for further analysis.

By combining modern equipment, experienced personnel, and rigorous quality standards, we ensure that every sample is processed with accuracy, consistency, and care, providing our clients with a solid foundation for informed decision-making.

Orebody Modelling, Mineral Resource & Ore Reserve Estimation

From exploration data to defensible resource and reserve estimates.

A clear understanding of an orebody's geometry, continuity, and characteristics is essential for successful exploration, mine planning, and resource development. At AGC, we utilize advanced three-dimensional (3D) geological modelling techniques to accurately visualize and evaluate mineral deposits, enabling our clients to make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.

Because mineral deposits are formed through complex geological processes, effective exploration and resource evaluation require a comprehensive 3D approach. Our modelling workflow integrates multiple geological, geochemical, geophysical, and drilling datasets, allowing for the rapid assessment of exploration targets and the development of robust geological models.

By combining advanced software tools with extensive industry experience, we seamlessly transform exploration data into reliable mineral resource and ore reserve estimates. These models serve as a critical foundation for mine planning, economic evaluations, project development, and investment decisions.

A professionally prepared mineral resource estimate is essential for understanding the value and potential of a mineral deposit. At AGC, we prepare resource and reserve estimates in accordance with internationally recognized industry standards and best practices. Our work is guided by the principles of competency, transparency, materiality, and technical integrity, ensuring confidence in the results and compliance with reporting requirements.

Drawing on extensive experience gained from exploration projects, feasibility studies, mine development, and operational mining environments, our specialists develop, review, and audit geological models and resource estimates across a wide range of commodities and deposit types. We utilize industry-leading software solutions, including Geovia Surpac and Encom Discover, to deliver accurate and dependable outcomes.
