Ara Minerals Ltd., through the company’s geologist Dr. Amos Bein, engaged Geotope-Levin in supervision and management of a prospecting survey to identify gold deposits in the Andvakuera Ridge of northern Madagascar. The work included collaboration on the preparation of a research plan and management of three drilling crews and a team of six local geologists over a period of five months in a tent encampment set up near the survey area. Among other things, we performed methodical taking of core samples, sent the specimens to a laboratory in South Africa and issued periodic reports.

The work was performed in cooperation with Dr. Amir Idelman under the guidance of Dr. Amos Bein. Our collaborative capabilities again found expression in this situation, where all of the participants were able to bring their experience and capabilities to bear and, together, we succeeded in professionally managing this challenging project under difficult long-term field conditions.
