MineOro Explorations
The Geology Behind Smarter Discovery
Before an exploration drill breaks ground on a mining site, geologists have to answer a difficult question: Where is the strongest evidence of a mineral target? For junior exploration companies working under tight budgets, answering that question requires geological expertise to guide fieldwork and interpret data, without using up the capital needed for drilling. Building an internal geology department can consume resources that could otherwise go toward advancing the project. MineOro Explorations gives those companies a geology team built around the project, with access to the expertise and field capacity needed as a project evolves. MineOro’s full spectrum of geological services supports projects from grassroots concepts through first-phase, advanced drilling, resource modeling and 3D reinterpretation of geology. Its approach is shaped around where each project stands, what the evidence reveals and what is needed to reach the next stage....Read more

EDITORIAL
Geology, Operations and Risk in a Changing Mining Industry
The mining industry depends on sound geological understanding, disciplined site operations and sound risk management to support well-informed decisions across the project lifecycle. This edition of Metals and Mining Review brings these areas into focus through its cover story and leadership perspectives.
Our cover story features MineOro Explorations, recognized as the Top Geology Services 2026. The recognition showcases the company’s work in geology and the role of sound geological knowledge in mining. Its inclusion prepares the way for a closer look at the expertise that helps mining projects move forward.
The issue also features Chris Miller, Director of Site Operations at Lithium Americas, whose role brings a site operations perspective to the discussion. Effective site leadership is an important area of consideration for mining organizations, where operational decisions must reflect the requirements of individual projects. Miller’s article offers an opportunity to examine these priorities through the experience, together with insights presented in his profile.
Together, this collection of articles provides readers with the chance to learn about different responsibilities that affect industrial performance in the field of mining, including geological services, site operations and risk management. All of these viewpoints can be used to gain a better idea of what skills and expertise are needed in the industry. It is our pleasure to present the new issue of Metals and Mining Review.
