Resource Geosciences

is an independent provider of integrated geoscience and exploration services to mining and exploration companies, government agencies, and land use planners. Resource Geosciences staff includes "Qualified Persons" according to CSA NI43-101 and RGM is a provider of independent NI 43-101F1 Technical Reports.

Resource Geosciences is based in Tucson, Arizona and Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, however we provide services to clients throughout the Americas who require collection, compilation, or interpretation of geologic data, or professional administration and management of exploration programs.

Resource Geoscience's founders and directors comprise a bilingual English-Spanish, multi-cultural team with over 60 years of international experience. Resource Geosciences provides field based technical services, and also functions as a professional practice offering professional administration and project management services on an outsourced basis to client companies. By contracting field based technical services to us, clients are able to utilize expertise that may not be available in-house, or implement exploration and geologic programs without incurring the significant costs of maintaining staff on payroll. Clients pay for the services of geoscience professionals only on an as needed basis, and avoid the costs associated with hiring, maintaining, and reducing staffs. By contracting professional administration services to us clients are able to maintain a legal corporate entity in Mexico without the costs of opening and maintaining a dedicated Mexico based office. Our professional administration services are particularly useful for foreign-based companies that wish to form or maintain a Mexican subsidiary at minimal cost.

We are exclusively a provider of technical and administrative services. Resource Geosciences does not acquire interests in mining projects for its own account nor promote projects for clients.
