Technical Services

Geological & Mining Consultancy for Nigeria

From grassroots exploration through feasibility and into production — OMM delivers the technical work that turns a licence into a producing mine.

Exploration

Greenfield to advanced-stage exploration across Nigeria's mineral belts. We design and execute phased programmes that build a defensible geological model from the ground up.

Geophysical surveys — magnetic, electromagnetic, gravity, IP/resistivity
Remote sensing & GIS — Landsat, Sentinel-2, ASTER, structural interpretation
Geochemical sampling — soil, stream sediment, rock chip, termite mound
Trenching, pitting, and RC/DD drilling programme design and supervision
Target generation and ranking using geological, geochemical, and geophysical integration

Resource Assessment

Independent resource estimation that meets the standards your investors and lenders will recognise.

Geological modelling in Leapfrog, Datamine, or Micromine
Mineral Resource estimation under JORC (2012) or NI 43-101
Ore Reserve conversion with appropriate Modifying Factors
Competent Person's Report (CPR) drafting and sign-off
Due diligence reviews for project acquisition or financing

Mine Planning & Design

Translating a resource into a mine plan that maximizes recoverable value while staying within the licence's regulatory envelope.

Pit and underground stope optimisation
Production scheduling and stockpile management
Equipment selection and fleet sizing
Haul road, dump, and infrastructure layout
Mine closure and rehabilitation cost estimation

Environmental & Social

ESIA work that satisfies Nigerian regulators (FMEnv, NESREA) and the international lenders' standards (IFC Performance Standards, World Bank EHS Guidelines).

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Statement
Social Impact Assessment and Resettlement Action Plans
Biodiversity baseline studies and Critical Habitat assessments
Water management and tailings storage facility (TSF) design review
Mine closure and rehabilitation cost estimation (Nigerian regulations + international benchmarks)

Regulatory & Permitting

Nigerian mining regulation is a maze. We've walked it. We know which applications go to MCO, which to FMEnv, which to the Office of the Surveyor General, and how to sequence them so nothing stalls.

Exploration Licence (EL) applications, renewals, and transfers
Small-Scale Mining Licence (SSML) conversion support
SCUML registration and AML/CFT compliance
Mining Lease applications and Cadastre coordination
Ministry of Solid Minerals Development liaison

Data & Analytics

The differentiator between good and great exploration work is how you handle the data. We've invested in the tools and the workflows that turn raw field data into decision-ready intelligence.

Geodatabase design and management (acQuire, Leapfrog, Maxwell Geo)
3D geological and grade modelling
Machine-learning prospectivity mapping
Real-time drilling and assay QA/QC dashboards
Custom data pipelines for site-to-board reporting

How We Work

Scope & Scoping

We start with a 30-minute call to understand what you need, then issue a fixed-fee proposal with clear deliverables, timeline, and assumptions. No retainer, no open-ended hourly billing.

Mobilise

We deploy the right team for the work — a senior geologist leads every engagement, supported by specialists as needed. We use your data, your systems, or ours; the brief sets that out.

Deliver

We work to a defined schedule with weekly progress reports. Draft deliverables for your review before final. A senior reviewer signs off every report before it leaves our office.

Support

After delivery, we stay available for follow-up questions, regulator clarifications, or integration with your team. No "engagement closed, good luck" handoffs.
