Gold and Silver

We have experience with all major types of gold deposits, whether it be alluvial, vein/structurally controlled, epithermal or porphyry related. WGM's experience ranges from conducting, designing, implementing and managing grassroots exploration and drilling projects to Mineral Resource/Reserve estimates and audits and completing preliminary assessment and feasibility studies.

Our track record for identifying potential economic projects for primary acquisition or assisting with mergers and valuations of projects speaks for itself.

We work with these companies on an ongoing basis and are involved with a variety of specialties, such as data compilation and interpretation, advice on best practices and QA/QC protocols, preparation of NI 43-101 reports, and Gemcom Whittle® optimization studies.

In Memoriam: David Beggs (1943-2010) - (January 25th, 2010) It is with heartfelt sorrow that we bid fond farewell to David Beggs, WGM’s Senior Geomatics Associate, who passed away this week. David had over 38 years of industry experience, much of it in developing countries, advocating the training and mentoring of local personnel in new technologies. He was an expert in GIS and remote sensing, and during the period between 1996 and 1998, he processed and interpreted RadarSAT and LandSAT imagery for mineral exploration projects in Mongolia, Africa, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Philippines and Solomon Islands. David was admired by all of his colleagues for his steadfast dedication to his work and family. We will miss him dearly.
