Core Description

AIM Geo Analytics Core Description Missoula MontanaAIM GeoAnalytics provides systematic core and cuttings description for mineral exploration, energy, environmental, and research programs. Logging programs are designed around project objectives and can range from rapid reconnaissance to detailed geological and geotechnical documentation.

Our geologists record the features needed to support interpretation, sampling, modeling, and future review. Where useful, logging is paired with photography, portable XRF, mineralogical analysis, petrography, or other project data.

Core Description Services:
  • Lithology, texture, grain size, mineralogy, and weathering
  • Alteration, mineralization, veining, and fracture observations
  • Sedimentary structures, facies, and depositional interpretation
  • Structural and geotechnical observations appropriate to the program
  • Core recovery, interval verification, photography, and sample selection
  • Integration with assays, mineralogy, petrography, geophysics, and 3D models
Deliverables

Deliverables may include validated digital logs, annotated core photographs, sampling plans, summary figures, interpretive sections, and project specific technical reports. AIM can work at the client’s facility, at the project site, or from the AIM core facility in Missoula.
