What we do

The complete mining value chain.

Eight integrated disciplines delivered under a single engineering culture — from first survey to final rehabilitation.

01 / Geological Studies

Raw material exploration with engineering precision.

Comprehensive understanding of the geological features within the deposit area — producing precise information on quality, quantity, and the long-term suitability of the resource for industrial use.

  • Geological Insight

    Detailed characterisation of stratigraphy, lithology and structural geology.

  • Data Reliability

    Precise information on the deposit's quality and quantity for confident investment decisions.

  • Supply Assurance

    A steady and consistent flow of raw materials for downstream industrial operations.

  • Resource Optimisation

    Maximised utilisation with respect to lifetime, cost and waste reduction.

  • Critical Alignment

    Mining plans rigorously matched to environmental assessment and sustainability commitments.

Geological survey
3D modeling and analysis
02 / Ore Body Modeling

3D block modelling of the deposit.

The deposit body is modelled in three-dimensional space using topographic survey data, packed into a series of blocks with precise dimensions — aligned to expected bench heights and annual material consumption during operations.

  • Topographic SurveyUp to 1:1000
  • Block DimensionsBench-aligned
  • Modeling InputsChemistry · Structure · DTM
  • Estimation MethodGeostatistical
03 / Reserve Estimation

Reserve calculation & volume analysis.

The 3D block model is used to calculate reserves with high precision — bench-by-bench, above or below specific levels, or for any defined part of the deposit body. Cut-and-fill activity modelling supports accurate planning of equipment, budget and timeframes.

  • Precision Reserve Calculation

    Selective reporting by bench, elevation or zone.

  • Cut & Fill Modelling

    Pre- and post-activity terrain models for material volume calculations.

  • Strategic Planning

    Accurate estimates for equipment requirements, budget allocation and project timeframes.

Quarry reserve calculation
Drilling operations
04 / Drilling

Core drilling, precisely engineered.

Core drilling grids designed with spacing typically between 100 and 400 metres. Infill drilling is strategically deployed where initial results reveal quality fluctuation. Continuous sampling along the complete borehole, with air or freshwater circulation to flush cuttings and preserve sample integrity.

  • Sample DiameterMinimum 76 mm
  • Recovery RateNot less than 95%
  • Sampling MethodContinuous Core Recovery
  • Borehole ProtectionCased to prevent collapse
05 / Advanced Blasting

Engineered blasting under the strictest safety regime.

Strict adherence to high safety rules and regulations. Specialist consultancy and on-the-ground execution — supported by industry-leading instrumentation from MDL and MREL.

06 / Quarry Management

End-to-end quarry operations.

GMC Ashariq operates the complete quarry value chain on behalf of major cement and industrial partners — from raw material extraction through crushing, screening, processing and logistics optimisation.

  • Total Management

    Operational responsibility for the full quarry lifecycle.

  • Processing

    Crushing, screening and grinding to industrial specifications.

  • Logistics Optimisation

    Coordinated extraction, haulage and dispatch.

  • Long-term Planning

    Long-, medium- and short-term mining plans tied to market demand.

Quarry operations
Land rehabilitation
07 / Rehabilitation

Land restoration & environmental stewardship.

We are committed to returning land in our operational areas to its former state, ensuring long-term ecological stability. Rehabilitation plans aim to minimise and mitigate environmental effects — integrated into every phase of our mining model from initial exploration to final closure.

  • Land Restoration

    Returning operational areas to pre-mining ecological condition.

  • Environmental Mitigation

    Plans that minimise impact from large-scale rock movement.

  • Responsible Operations

    Stewardship integrated across the full mining lifecycle.

08 / Technical Consultation

Advisory grounded in operational reality.

Expert technical assistance for quarry operations — equipment selection, process optimisation and operational efficiency. Minerals processing services and strategic industrial alignment from cement to heavy building materials.

  • Mine Planning & Cost Optimisation

    Strategic planning across short-, medium- and long-term horizons.

  • Process Optimisation

    Throughput, quality and energy efficiency improvements.

  • Minerals Processing

    Crushing, screening and grinding to industrial specifications.

  • Safety & Resource Development

    Standards and capability building grounded in best practice.
