ACHIEVING GROWTH
EXPERT GEOLOGICAL CONSULTING & SERVICES
Sunrise Geological Services provides a full range of geologic and quality control consulting services to the mining and construction industries. Our services include greenfield site exploration and evaluation, mineral property evaluation, geological site assessment and assistance, project management, data analysis and interpretation, quality testing, petrographic evaluation, geologic mapping, reporting, mine planning, and engineering geology.
SERVICES
SITE ASSISTANCE
We provide site assistance and assessments to clients in order to minimize risk, reduce costs, and establish time frames. We create and analyze geologic maps, aerial photographs, and drill logs. We research and review all available data sources to find new exploration sites, conduct quality control, and perform petrographic analysis.
MINE PLANNING
We create mine plans for clients that ensure reserves are extracted from pits and quarries in ways that best maximize reserves and profits. Carlson Software is used to create detailed 3D models of pit shells.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Applying knowledge of process, skills, tools, deliverables, and techniques to project activities is critical to ensure a solid path to project success, and allows us to consistently meet the goals and requirements set by our clients. We will develop plans and manage exploration projects from start to finish. We work closely with drillers to keep projects moving while logging, photographing, and examining core as it is extracted. We will determine sample intervals and prepare sample for testing. While carrying out the above services, we will maintain constant communications throughout the project to ensure the client is informed.
MATERIAL EVALUATION
We provide quality evaluation and determination of aggregate source material for our clients. We collect rock and sediment samples from sites and prepare those samples for aggregate standard testing.
DATA ANALYSIS
We analyze and interpret geological data for clients using the most up-to-date computer drafting software. Our software expertise includes Carlson Mining and Geology, AutoCAD Map 3D, ESRI ArcMap, and LogPlot.
REPORTING
We will clearly and concisely communicate our findings to our clients through our deliverables. Each report is made specifically to fit that client's needs. Our detailed reports include maps, volume estimations, drill hole location maps, logs, cross sections, pit shells, reserve estimates, and quality data interpretation.

BILL DYCUS
Owner, Dycus Diamond Drilling
"I once had a drill helper quit mid-project that Nick was working on. Instead of waiting for days before a new drill helper would become available, Nick jumped in as a driller helper in order to complete the project with minimal downtime, reducing costs for the client. He’s willing to go above and beyond to get the job done. It shows a lot about his character and work ethic."
