Mir Consultancy has provided expert geological exploration services and successful exploration management for coal projects. Our geologists and engineers have the expertise to assist you with all aspects of your exploration project.

DRILL PR0GRAM AND CORE LOGGING
Properly planned drill programs are the primary exploration tool of the coal industry. Drill programs provide most of the raw data upon which resource maps are generated and they are the framework upon which crucial mining decisions are based. It is essential that the initial drill program is designed by professional geologists with an understanding of the complexity of the geology. Ideal drill hole placement, orientation and density optimize your drilling budget. Mir Consultancy has the expertise and knowledge to properly design your drill program. We have knowledgeable geologists in all major coal regions of Balochistan & Sindh to support you in this activity.

Mir Consultancy Mining Services has been involved in the assessment of coal mines in these area for over 10 years and has a large personal data bank of mine plans, geological reports, mining lease information and mine workings reports.
From our large Database we are able to assist companies, developers and organizations in planning and siting proposed infrastructure and building locations with regard to past mining constraints.

4. Coal Transportation services / Hard Area Transportation

Transportation & Logistics
Several factors are influencing the cost of moving coal today. First, coal transportation is very capital intensive, requires highly specialized labor and demands consistent ratable shipping volumes to achieve economies of scale. Second, changes in technology have resulted in periods of low-priced natural gas that have decreased shipping demand for coal. As coal shipments decrease, labor and transportation assets are redeployed to other markets. Third, coal supply chains are interdependent between origins and destinations. Supply chain disruptions create adverse economic impacts for all stakeholders. We understand the coal supply chain challenges, and there is little or no learning curve required in bringing our expertise to bear.
The Mir Coal Transportation service gives you the information you need to move coal with confidence. Below are examples of how some clients use this service:
    • Traders use Mir Coal Transportation to make profitable deals by having the latest spot freight rates.
    • Analysts keep abreast of industry trends and changing service conditions.
    • Regulators can track performance and better understand coal shippers’ concerns.
    • Coal buyers compare delivered prices on a regular basis to determine which basins provide the best prices for spot coal purchases, providing insight into the cheapest fuel options.
