Cover Story In an interview with Insights Success, President and Co-founder of Burgex Inc., Stuart Burgess, shares valuable information on Burgex Inc. and its remarkable contribution to the mining industry. Burgex Inc. has staked over 250,000 acres of mining claims for its clients and has experience working in every Western State and across the world. It has provided exploration services and consulting on hundreds of projects for minerals ranging from construction sand and gravel to base metals through industrial minerals. It is currently primarily focused on the United States, but has provided services on international projects as far away as Saudi Arabia. Below are highlights from the interview conducted between Stuart Burgess and Insights Success: Give a brief overview of your company, its solutions. Burgex Inc. is a mining consulting services company that specializes in mineral exploration, mining claim staking, landman services, general mine consulting, and the access and documentation of abandoned mine sites throughout the Western United States and the world. The founders of the company are fueled by a passion for mineral exploration and are enthusiastic about providing excellent service to their clients. We love helping Canadian and Australian publicly traded junior mining companies navigate the claim staking, exploration, and mineral rights management process for their US based projects. Describe the ways in which your mining solutions are focused on being customer centric. Every project is different, and it can be difficult to navigate the mineral rights acquisition and management process here in the U.S. We leverage our experience to help you move your project forward in a way that is efficient and accurate. Not every solution is going to be appropriate for every project, so we craft a plan that works for our clients by minimizing unnecessary expenses and saving time. We take time to attend conferences and read the latest information on a variety of mineral exploration technology and mineral “ Burgex Inc. guarantees full satisfaction of clients with the quality of its exploration, consulting, and claim staking services. “
ights law in order to be able to provide the best services to our customers. Describe the experiences, achievements or lessons learnt that have shaped the journey of your company. Initially we focused only on providing technical access and exploration of abandoned mine sites throughout the Western United States. While this was a very niche segment of the exploration industry to focus on, it gave us a very unique look into the inner workings of many different types of ore deposits. It also gave us the great experience of being able to observe the evolution of mining techniques from over a hundred years. Our growth into claim staking, mineral rights management, project planning, due diligence, and exploration consulting services was really driven from these simple beginnings by our clients themselves. They really appreciated the work we were doing for them and pushed us toward expanding our services so that they could have a dependable firm to handle multiple aspect of their project. On some projects we have handled everything from initial sampling and prospecting all the way through claim staking, exploration permitting, testing, drilling, geophysics, preliminary feasibility studies, mine planning, and the eventual sale of the project to a larger group. Almost every year since we were founded we have started offering a new service based on our clients’ needs. I think we know we are doing a good job because almost all of our business comes through referrals from existing clients. As long as that is still the case, we know we are on track and still growing organically. What are your thoughts on mineral exploration in the mining industry? Mineral exploration is critical to the mining industry and really provides all the substance for future growth. Even within existing mines that have been operating for many decades there is still a process of mineral exploration for the development and de-risking of new resources. The mineral exploration segment of the mining industry can be a wild place and it is changing all the time. New technology and shifting economics are continually driving new technological advancements and geological models for discovery. The latest trend toward the identification and development of metal deposits used in the manufacturing of batteries has led to a shift in the exploration projects that are being funded and developed over the last five years – it will be exciting to see which of these projects make it all the way through feasibility and into production! What are the evident challenges in the mining industry and what are your strategies to tackle these challenges? There are numerous challenges that are facing the mining industry right now and we see a lot of them from the cutting edge of exploration. Increasing environmental regulation, geopolitical tensions, looming trade wars, and a shrinking professional base are some of the key challenges that we see right now. One of the most acute on the exploration side is the lack of new engineering and geology professionals entering the field. Unfortunately, it seems like many of the brightest minds have chosen to get into tech instead of mining and exploration and similar traditional industries. We have tackled this problem by identifying bright candidates still in college and bringing them into the company to start getting experience while they are in school. We think this will give us a great advantage by having fresh in-house talent that is starting out with a diverse basket of real experience. I think the mineral exploration and mining industries also have a large PR problem when it comes to driving home the point that minerals are necessary for life – they are in everything, and to a very large extent an integral part of the deployment of green technologies. Electric cars and renewable energies are all dependent on a very large network of different
