CRM provides ore reserve estimation and geological modeling services to the mining industry.  We are a Chilean corporation headquartered near Santiago.   This location gives us quick access to our major clients in South America. 

Our goal is to provide reliable and cost effective orebody models that allow our clients to maximize the efficiency of their operations.   Our approach is very much hands on and practical.   We believe that the major source of error in orebody modeling occurs during geological modeling and interpretation.   Generally if the geological model is correctly captures the geological controls of the deposit then developing the geostatistical model of the grade distribution is relatively straightforward.  

This is not to say that resource estimation is a simple process.   Errors can enter the process at every stage.   To ensure that errors are minimized or eliminated detailed checks are performed throughout the process and the final model is checked and verified in detail.  In fact the model verification step is typically the most time consuming part of our work and it serves as the basis for our resource classification approach.

Our approach to resource estimation has been validated over the last 4 years through the successful completion of numerous projects and audits for Codelco-Chile and BHP Minerals.
