Mineral Exploration Services

that support the entire project

MineOro provides practical, field-ready, and decision-focused support for mineral exploration programs. We can assist with specific scopes of work or serve as a broader partner across field operations, geology, drilling, coordination, and technical review.

From early groundwork to technical oversight, we help keep exploration programs moving.

Exploration work is rarely just one task. It requires coordination, technical understanding, field execution, and the ability to adapt as a project evolves. MineOro provides services that support the operational and geological side of exploration while helping clients stay organized, efficient, and informed.

Field Operations & Site Support

Practical support that keeps projects active and accessible

MineOro provides essential field support services that help exploration programs stay operational and productive. These services are often the foundation that allows more technical work to happen efficiently and on schedule.

Typical services include:

• Claim staking
• Surveying
• Road maintenance
• General field support
• Site logistics coordination
• Day-to-day project assistance

This work is especially valuable for clients who need dependable support in remote or active field settings where project momentum depends on practical execution.

Geological Services & Sampling

Field data collection tied to real exploration objectives

MineOro supports geological programs through disciplined fieldwork and sampling designed to improve understanding of mineralization, host geology, and target potential. We focus on collecting useful information that directly supports project decisions.

Typical services include:

• Soils and rock sampling
• Field mapping
• Prospect evaluation
• Lithologic, structural, and alteration observations
• Geological interpretation linked to field results

These services can support early-stage target generation, prospect review, and active exploration campaigns that require reliable field observations.

Microscopy Lab

Petrography, Sulphide Mineralogy, Fluid Inclusions

Stronger target evaluation through precision laboratory microscope petrography, sulphide mineralogy, and fluid inclusion support.

MineOro provides expert laboratory services in these specialised techniques, delivering the highest levels of precision and technical insight. Microscope petrography, sulphide mineralogy, and fluid inclusion studies are essential for refining targets and prioritising the most prospective follow-up opportunities. Using state-of-the-art equipment and rigorous methodologies, our team ensures clients gain a deeper understanding of mineral systems and directly link detailed petrographic, mineralogical, and fluid data to exploration decisions.

Typical services include:

Sample Preparation — the foundation of accurate results;
High-resolution petrographic analysis that precisely documents mineral textures, paragenesis, alteration assemblages, and zoning vectors to guide ore-body delineation;
Detailed sulphide mineralogy characterisation identifying ore and gangue sulphide species, their textural relationships, liberation characteristics, and genetic associations critical for deposit modelling;
Quantitative fluid inclusion data providing direct constraints on ore-fluid temperature, pressure, salinity, composition, and evolution, unlocking the physico-chemical conditions of mineralisation;

This laboratory-driven approach guarantees that petrographic, mineralogical, and fluid inclusion insights deliver sharper targeting, more confident decisions, and greater exploration efficiency.

Drilling & Drill Support

Field support that helps drilling deliver answers

Drilling is one of the most important and expensive parts of an exploration program. MineOro supports drill campaigns with practical field assistance, coordination, and technical support that helps clients get more value from each program.

Typical services include:

• Backpack drilling
• Drilling support
• Drill program coordination
• Logging and geological oversight, where needed
• Sampling and interval support
• Daily communication and field updates

Our role is to help turn drilling into a better decision-making process by keeping field activity aligned with project objectives.

Project Management

Coordination that keeps exploration programs on track

Exploration projects often involve multiple contractors, technical priorities, schedules, and field realities all moving at once. MineOro provides project management support that helps clients maintain alignment across these moving parts.

Typical services include:

• Overall project management
• Contractor coordination
• Field schedule support
• Scope and task tracking
• Communication between teams and leadership

This service is especially useful when projects need a dependable point of coordination to keep technical work, field execution, and project priorities connected.

Strategic Technical Advisory

Executive-level geological and project insight

MineOro also provides high-level technical support for project owners, executives, and investors who need a clearer understanding of exploration progress, geological significance, risk, and next-step priorities.

Typical advisory support includes:

• Geological and exploration strategy input
• Program review and prioritization
• Interpretation of results for management and investors
• High-level risk and opportunity assessment
• Recommendations for next-phase work

This service is ideal for clients who want experienced technical perspective to support planning, communication, and decision making.

“Dr. Feinstein and MineOro have delivered quality work in a safe and efficient manner every time. Mike and his team enjoy reading the rocks and have the golden touch, even on copper.”
