Message From Our CEO: What the Burgex Difference Really Is
Crystal Burgess
Dear Valued Clients,
Choosing a consulting and mineral exploration firm is a crucial decision that can make or break your project. Each project is unique, and we understand that different clients have different priorities. Some may prioritize cost, others may be focused on timelines, and for major mining companies, safety often ranks high on the list.
At Burgex, we believe in the importance of the quality of our work above all. Our approach, which we call “The Burgex Difference,” is centered on integrity and dedication.
We’ve learned through experience that delivering exceptional results sometimes requires taking a bit more time, but the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. It’s better to be a little slower and deliver superior work than to rush and compromise on quality.
We’ve seen firsthand that some clients who initially choose the lowest bid end up regretting their decision when the project is completed. Quality work is not just an add-on; it’s a fundamental part of a successful project. Opting for a lower price often means sacrificing essential aspects of quality, safety, and thoroughness.
At Burgex, we take immense pride in the quality of our work. Our commitment to excellence is what has brought us to where we are today. If you value high-quality, dependable results, then we are the right choice for you. We’re not just a service provider; we’re a partner in your success, dedicated to going above and beyond to ensure you receive the best possible product and service.
Thank you for trusting us with your projects. We look forward to continuing to provide you with the exceptional quality and integrity that defines The Burgex Difference.
Crystal Burgess
CEO of Burgex Mining Consultants
Solving The Challenges of Mining – One project at a time
Our consulting team recently faced a fascinating challenge with a client earlier this year. The client suspected an aggregate deficit in the southern part of their market area and sought our expertise to identify parcels potentially suitable for limestone mining. We initially targeted several parcels based on factors like size and wetlands presence. At the client’s request, we further refined these targets by incorporating well data from the state. Much of this data consisted of scanned copies of old drilling reports that were not readily accessible in bulk. After extensive online searches, we successfully located and geocoded the data, ensuring it included crucial bedrock depth information.
The detailed map our team compiled validated the client’s suspicions. It highlighted a region in the southeast corner of the target area with notably deep bedrock, where few mines exist due to the significant overburden thickness, contributing to the aggregate deficit. Conversely, the map identified a neighboring section to the west characterized by much thinner overburden, suggesting that mining could be feasible there and could potentially meet the limestone demand of the region to its east.
Our findings provided the client with the essential data needed to confidently pursue their project, turning their initial hunch into a factually supported strategy.
