Our comprehensive services cover all aspects of mineral exploration, from the early preparatory phase, to the reconnaissance / grassroots phase, to the exploration phase and leading to the prefeasibilty-/feasibility phase. We are applying the highest safety and quality standards.

We have extensive experience in the exploration and evaluation of deposits of precious metals, base metals, rare metals, coloured gemstones, industrial minerals and construction raw materials. Our 250 Fugro offices in 58 countries provide worldwide technical and logistical support.
