In business for over 30 years, we are one of the leading suppliers of these goods in Europe with a worldwide customer base from Mongolia, to Sierra Leone, from the UK to Greenland and every where in between. We have over 30 years experience in supplying these sectors, but in the modern day, long time experience is not enough.

What is Mineral Exploration? Our main area of business is the supply of field equipment and tools for mineral exploration. Mineral exploration is the sampling, analysis and write up of potential mining, quarrying or dig sites which maybe of interest for ores, fossil fuels or data research. Before a company can begin the extraction of raw materials on a large scale basis, they must first ensure that a particular site has potential economically. Therefore exploration geologists and geological consultants are employed to work in the field and collect numerous samples, sometimes soil, sometimes drill cores or both for lab analysis, this is a long and arduous process and requires a wide range of tools and equipment from basics to specific items. |

What Can We Supply? Geological Field Tools & Mineral Exploration Equipment. Well, to put it simnply, just about anything, and nothing is beyond our scope. Such common items which we supply to the mining sector include basic field tools such as geological hammers, compass clinometers, field notebooks, safety equipment and measuring tapes. However, these are often used alongside other items of equipment specifically for exploration use such as rock chip trays, core boxes, a variety of geochemical sample bags, microscopes, drills, magnetic susceptibility meters and more. However, as said, nothing is beyond our scope, we have will attempt to procure anything which is requested, and such items previously have included digital cameras, gas masks, laptops, XRF analysers and more. |
