_Our areas of expertise
_Exploration
Ginger's in-depth knowledge of multiple mineral parageneses and exploration techniques enables us to define tailor-made programmes to optimise exploration campaigns.
_Modelling and simulation
Geological modelling solutions tailored to each project to quantify and plan the mining of deposits. Certification of mineral resource estimates in accordance with international standards and norms: JORC, NI43-101.
_Geological infrastructures
We assist governments and multilateral banks with geological mapping, geochemical surveys, geotechnical mapping and the implementation of geological information systems.
_Mine engineering
Supporting clients in their choice of mining methods, equipment sizing and selection, mining infrastructure engineering as well as the development, implementation and optimisation of mining strategies.
_The expert's point of view
"As with other sectors, industry is undergoing radical change: climate change, rising energy costs, the return to local production to control supplies, the desire to limit its impact on different environments - the challenges are many and vital to the long-term survival of companies and of the planet.
The Ginger Group anticipated these changes and positioned itself as a major player in this new industry.
The Ginger Group's support for more sustainable industries includes thinking about the building site from the outset, prioritising the redevelopment of strategically located brownfield sites, building sustainably using low-carbon materials, anticipating, measuring and minimising impacts, and using as much renewable energy as possible."
"Geological studies are the first and most important step in developing mineral resource deposits. Ginger SOFRECO has been working in this field for 30 years and has built up solid experience in carrying out exploration campaigns and estimating mineral resources.
Our teams' experience in the mining sector and the methodologies developed by Ginger SOFRECO enable us to offer our clients the solutions that best fit their needs."
Sugar and its by-products
"With experience in more than 70 sugar factories present in more than 25 countries, Ginger SOFRECO has a thorough understanding of the value chain in the sugar and by-products industry and provides services ranging from the design to construction and management of sugar complexes.
The sugar industry is large and demanding, requiring the development of several thousand hectares at very high investment costs. As an engineering consultancy firm, Ginger SOFRECO has often played a pioneering role by applying innovative technical solutions, as in the past for the Borotou sugar complex in Côte d'Ivoire and, more recently, for the White Nile complex in Sudan.
The interest and excitement of these agribusiness projects lies in the optimisation of complex processes involving all the unitary operations of chemical engineering and in the management of multidisciplinary teams involving all State bodies"
