Geotechnology can be used during all phases of mineral exploration. The products and services of GEOAMBIENTE are valuable instruments, contributing to reduce costs and to accelerate steps from the production process, optimizing results and facilitating decision taking.
GEOAMBIENTE develops works for the prospection of areas, detailed research and planning of the mining plant, monitoring and environmental control and management of information related to the mining processes.
Our services are present at all phases of mineral exploration: starting at data integration and geologic mapping, during prospection, participating at the elaboration of detailed cartography for research and procedures for the implantation of mining and attendance of exploration. GEOAMBIENTE also develops Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for environmental control and management of information from mining processes, which are essential during the life cycle of the undertaking.
