1: Exploration support
Our expertise in early stage exploration includes our network to drilling assets to support your drilling needs. We can also provide earthwork expertise to develop access to drill pads, drill pad construction (including sumps), labor to assist drill crews and to assist geology staff with sample collection. We can also support logistics, such as delivering samples (in bags and/or core boxes) to labs.
Our team is also experienced with digging channels and collecting samples from channels and surface sampling – under the direction of your exploration manager and/or geologist team.
Q&D can provide equipment needed for developing your exploration program, from drill pad access to drill pad construction and reclaiming drill pads, to site infrastructure – including power, on-site water storage, water truck support and any logistics your team requires.
All of this exploration support will be completed with an understanding of the critical environmental sensitivity required to minimize disturbance areas and protect the environment from fires, spills and damage to the work site.
2: Surface Mining
Our expertise extends to loading, hauling and dumping, pit wall work, long distance ore hauling, leach pad construction and expansion.
3: Support for Underground Mining
We provide support on on-site rock crushing or aggregate delivery for backfill and infrastructure needs.
4: Environmental
Our expertise involves closure and reclamation work, such as stormwater management, infiltration basin, and evaporation pond construction. We also have a great deal of experience with pit wall rehabilitation, sloping, stabilization, and underwater pit wall construction (from pits filling with water).
5: Infrastructure
We provide expertise on road construction and paving; haul road work, intersection redesign, berm construction, on-site rock crushing, aggregate delivery, utilities, including water lines and natural gas lines.
6: Processing
Our expertise extends to water treatment facilities, utility work, pipelines, tailings storage facility maintenance and construction.
7: Demolition
Our team has a great deal of experience with the demolition of all mine related buildings, facilities, mills, crushers, tanks and infrastructure – to include dealing with mine-related chemicals and hazardous materials.
