Since 1987, Minconsult has been the execution partner junior and mid-tier mining companies count on when the terrain is tough, the timeline is tight, andย there’sย no room for error.ย Withย overย 10,000 successful setupsย andย zero pad failures across northern Canada and the United States, you can trust Minconsult to get the job done.ย
What We Do Best
Drill Pad Constructionย
Our coreย expertise.ย We’veย engineered and built timber-framed drill pads and helipads in every challenging environment imaginable: steep slopes,ย intertidalย zones, environmentally sensitive areas, dense coastal timber, and sites requiring blasting. Ourย methodologyย is proven, our crews are professional, and our timelines are tight. Projects that other teamsย needย a week or two toย accomplish, we deliver in days.ย
Field Geology & Exploration Servicesย
Beyond infrastructure, we provide complete geological field support: project geologists, field sampling programs, core logging, technicians, and full exploration project management. Whether you need boots on the ground for prospecting and mapping or a complete drilling program from planning through execution, we deliver integrated services with one experienced crew.ย
Comprehensive Exploration Supportย
Soil sampling with proprietary quality control methods
Geotechnical services
Timber clearing and line cutting
UAV surveys and geophysical support
Emergency planning and technical rescue capabilities
Steep terrain and environmentally sensitive site preparation

Whyย Successful Miningย Programs Chooseย Minconsult
High Speed. No Compromise.ย ย
When Snowline Gold Corp needed 64 drill sites cleared, padded, and ready, we delivered. All 60+ sites. On time. Zero drill standby. We don’t just work fast; we work smart, safe, and with absolute confidence in complex conditions.ย
One Crew. Multiple Capabilities. Zero Coordination Headaches.ย ย
Your exploration program needs drill pads, geological support, sampling, camp infrastructure, and more. Instead of coordinatingย multipleย different contractors, you get one integrated Minconsult team that handles it all. Less overhead, better communication, faster mobilization.ย
Weย Donโtย Just Talk About Safety. We Live It.ย ย
In 2019 alone, our crews worked more than 24,000 hours constructing drill pads safely, without a single lost-time incident. Over 35+ years,ย we’veย built our safety management system on one principle: everyone goes home safe. Our zero-tolerance approach to shortcuts means your program runs without the costly delays and risks that come from incidents in the field.ย
Canadaโsย Specialistsย ย
From Newfoundland to British Columbia, Saskatchewan to the Northwest Territories,ย we’veย operatedย across Canada’s most remote and technically challenging locations. We understandย localย logistics, harsh weather operations, and the execution demands of short drilling seasons.ย
Built for Your Budgetย
Junior explorers working withย limitedย budgets need every dollar to go toward discovery, not contractor inefficiencies. Our lean, professional approach means you get experienced crews, proven methods, and reliable execution,ย without corporate bloat.ย
We’reย not the cheapestย option.ย We’reย theย optionย that delivers on scope, on time, and on budget, so you can focus on what matters: finding the next deposit.ย
The Minconsult Differenceย
No Excuses. Just Results.ย We’veย built pads in snowstorms, managed programs through equipment failures, and kept drills turning when timber supply ran short. When others see obstacles, we see solutions.ย That’sย what 35+ years in remote exploration teaches you.ย
Depth of Experienceย Our field crews bring decades of collective experience across mountainous terrain, tundra, coastal environments, and everything in between. Our geological team includes experienced project managers, field geologists, and technicians who understand the science and the practicalities of exploration work.ย
Track Record You Can Verifyย We’ve worked with companies like Newmont, ATAC Resources, White Gold Corp, Stantec, andย numerousย junior exploration companies across North America. Ask around. Our reputation is built on delivery.ย
