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. Members of our professional staff are engaged as Independent Qualified Persons for numerous companies. 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.
