Our story

We Solve the Challenges of Mining

Burgex_Team
At Burgex, our mission is to “Solve the Challenges of Mining”, whether for our clients or for the broader industry. We are passionate about the transformative potential of mineral exploration and are committed to fostering smart, responsible growth for humanity. A key aspect of this commitment is operating exclusively within environmentally-conscious countries. This is why our business focuses solely on projects in the US, where stringent rules and regulations are in place. While navigating these dynamics can be frustrating at times, we work closely with our clients to ensure compliance and sustainability.

Education is a cornerstone of our work. We strive to educate both our clients and potential clients on how mineral exploration operates in the US. Moreover, we recognize the importance of extending this education to the general public. It may seem daunting, but by sharing our stories with the world—illustrating how mining works, showcasing available careers, and highlighting the safety culture within the industry—we can make a significant impact for those who rely on us to carry out our responsibilities.
