Case studies

Real teams. Real drillholes. Real Competent Person Reports.

Three anonymised case studies showing how SRES gets deployed on live projects across the resource lifecycle.

Iron Ore · Fe

Odisha, India

8 weeks

From four CSVs to a JORC-aligned resource in eight weeks.

A mid-cap iron ore developer replaced a three-vendor stack — CSV wrangler, desktop kriging suite, spreadsheet economics — with a single SRES tenant. Their next resource statement shipped on schedule with a full reproducibility snapshot.

The challenge

Three separate tools each owning one slice of the workflow.
No unified audit trail — every re-run required a fresh chain of custody.
Board-ready CPR PDFs assembled manually in Word from a dozen source files.

The SRES rollout

Ingested 112 drillholes (Collar / Survey / Assay / Geology) into SRES with zero manual column mapping.
Built the Fe block model with Ordinary Kriging plus per-lithology density mapping.
Generated the CPR PDF, DOCX, cut-off sensitivity report and continuous drill-log bundle in a single day.

Gold · Au

Karnataka, India

6 weeks

A gold junior stress-tests economics before committing capital.

A junior explorer used SRES's Monte-Carlo NPV and cut-off sweep tools to defend a phase-two drilling budget to their board — with a transparent P10/P50/P90 picture rather than a single point estimate.

The challenge

Board wanted a defensible NPV range, not one number.
Existing spreadsheets could not communicate risk cleanly.
No way to compare cut-off scenarios apples-to-apples.

The SRES rollout

Ran SRES's cut-off × NPV sweep across four commodity price scenarios.
Overlaid a 5,000-trial Monte-Carlo NPV simulation with triangular distributions.
Assembled a sensitivity DOCX pack that the CFO presented directly to the board.

Consultancy · Multi-commodity

Bengaluru + APAC

12 weeks

A mining consultancy standardises CPRs across six client accounts.

A resource-consulting firm rolled SRES out across six enterprise clients, replacing bespoke CPR templates with a single, standards-native assembly — dramatically cutting review-cycle time for their Competent Persons.

The challenge

Every client had a slightly different CPR template — none audit-friendly.
Competent Persons spent weeks on formatting, not on judgement.
Public share links for regulators were emailed as one-off PDF attachments.

The SRES rollout

Deployed SRES tenants for each of the six clients with company-scoped admins.
Ported client-specific narrative styles into the SRES CPR templates once.
Introduced watermarked public share links with expiry and audit logs.

Bring your project. We will scope a working pilot and publish the results together.

Every pilot begins with a 45-minute working session on your own drillhole data. If we build a defensible model, you get a two-week trial workspace.
