Underground design for ore body that was planned to be mined from surface.  Ramp, sublevels, ventilation, and escape way were all designed with respect to BC Mine Act regulations.  The goal of this design was to assist Engineers from Moose Mountain Technical Services (MMTS) optimizing the resource extraction at a lower cost with less dilution at a faster rate than the initial giant pit design.  The association with MMTS expertise with mining cost and Progressive Survey Solutions expertise with Underground design was a success and potentially will grow to further projects.

The new ownership at the Wingdam mine, Quesnel, BC, wanted to get their project started with the most comprehensive engineering and mapping of their property.  Along we came and assembled all the historical available data and added our own survey data by RTK GPS and Total Station to build a 3D model of the underground and surface.  In a very short time the new ownership was able to use this set of data to promote the project to a wide range of investors.  Progressive Survey Solutions also supply the necessary maps for the completion of their NI 43-101.  We supplied all the mine plans and surveying for exploration drifting (Underground tunnelling) using a very unique horizontal freezing crosscut drift design through sedimentary clay, exploration drilling, and bulk tonnage permit.

The overall services offered by Progressive Survey Solutions improved dramatically the decision making in the Geology department for the whole duration of the Underground bulk sample.  We offered grade layout, mine planning, underground survey control, 3D mapping and layout plans for miners, reconciliation stockpile volume of crushed ore.  Progressive Survey Solutions also made some slashing plans and recommendations for larger underground equipment access.  We provided a check survey with accurate underground control for the next phase of development.  We left the client with more data in less than 2 months than what they produce in the last 3 years.

Progressive Survey Solutions provided access route and location of drill hole at Silvertip mountain in Northern BC.  We also coordinated the construction of the access road and drill pad throughout the duration of the 2010 exploration program on surface.  Progressive Survey Solutions provided plans and maps to help the geologists making decision on future locations to explore.

Our team surveyed the entire underground workings, built a 3D model and calculated the underground volumes in order to confirm previous work completed and set control points for future surveys.  We are currently laying out and mapping the exploration drift, remucks, sumps, safety bays, drill stations...  Progressive Survey Solutions also drafted the electrical diagram for submission to Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources.
