Christopher Simpson Consultants
Geological & Geophysical
Satellite-grade geophysical intelligence for every mine acquisition, sale, and exploration decision in South Africa and across Africa.

We provide the intelligence that makes the difference between a sound acquisition and a costly mistake."
From first-pass exploration to full due-diligence reporting, our satellite geophysical methods deliver certainty where others offer guesswork.
Verify the true value of any mineral asset before commitment. Our state-of-the-art satellite geophysical testing delivers error-free subsurface data — giving you the confidence to acquire or pass with certainty.
