Mineral Resource Assessment, Mine & Reservoir Management
Critical minerals, lithium brine resources, carbon capture and hydrogen storage, and geothermal energy development are all critical for energy security and energy transformation. Our multi-disciplinary team has decades of experience in project planning, approvals, assessment, feasibility, operational, environmental monitoring, and decommissioning phases of these types of projects. In this evolving service we continue to grow our expertise through collaboration in ground-breaking research, leveraging our understanding of complex geological and reservoir systems throughout Canada.

Lithium Brine Deposit Resource and Reserve Estimate
Our client was in the resource delineation and quantification stage of planning a lithium brine project in South America. As part of this exploration, it was recognized that hydrogeological aquifer modelling could be incorporated to refine mineral resource estimates and optimize production plans.
Source Water Protection and Management
The Region of Waterloo is one of the largest municipalities in Canada to rely heavily on groundwater for water supply. One of their key challenges is to ensure that the groundwater volume they are extracting is sustainably balanced with the needs of the surrounding natural environment, particularly in the face of a growing population, urbanization, and climatic changes.
