Expression of Interest for Recruitment Of A Consulting Firm For The Realization Of Geological Mapping Of Four Square Degrees In The Western Area Of ​​Mali At A Scale Of 1: 200,000

Recruitment Of A Consulting Firm For The Realization Of Geological Mapping Of Four Square Degrees In The Western Area Of ​​Mali At A Scale Of 1: 200,000 Mali Governance Of Mining Sector The Geological Mapping Of Four Square Degrees (Diéma, Kita, Kolokani And Banamba) Will Be Updated With A Complete Inventory Of The Mineral Showings Found There. As An Indication, But Not Exhaustive, The Cartographic Work Should Include: The Integration Of Pre-Existing Data, And Especially The Geophysical Data And Their Preliminary Interpretation Of The Aero-Magnetic And Radiometric Survey Which Will Be Carried Out Before The Present Mission. Failing This, The Consultancy Firm May Use The Old Geophysical Data Available At The Dngm. Thus, The Use Of High-Resolution Satellite Images And Various Derived Products (Combinations Of Channels, Ratios, “Anaglyph” 3D Products For Structural Interpretation, Etc.) Will Be Recommended: Petrology, Geochronology And Different Types Of Laboratory Analyzes Will Be Incorporated To Support The Litho-Stratigraphic, Tectonic And Metallogeny Working Hypotheses At The Outcrop Scale; Geochemical Sampling And Sampling Of Stream (And/Or Alluvial) Sediments Will Be Carried Out In Order To Complete The Necessary Geological Information. The Realization Of Geological Mapping Work Should Allow, Among Other Things : Realize The Cartographic Coverage Of The Geological Zone Of West Mali At The Scale Of 1/200,000 On 4 Sheets Which Are: Diéma, Kita, Kolokani And Banamba; Improve Knowledge Of The Geo-Structural Architecture Of Geological Formations In West Mali Improve The Geophysical, Geochemical, Geological And Cartographic Database; Improve The Summary Maps Of Mineral Occurrences And Deposits In Digitized Format; Update The Database And Digitized Summary Maps; Compile And Integrate Geological Data From Mining Companies Into The Architecture Of Geological Maps; Carry Out Petrographic And Geochronological Studies In Order To Determine And/Or Confirm The Facies And The Nature Of The Characteristic Rocks; Strengthen The Technical And Human Capacities Of The Dngm, Through, Among Other Things: The Acquisition Of Computer And Cartography Materials And Equipment, The Training Of Managers Assigned To The Project In The Practice Of Cartographic And Geological Data Processing And The Introduction To Remote Sensing And Gis Techniques; Improve Knowledge Of The Geological And Mining Potential Of The West Mali Area; Strengthen The Attraction Of Direct Private Investment And Stimulate The Diversification Of Mineral Substances In The West Mali Area; Promote The Discovery Of New Mining Deposits In This Part Of Mali. Stimulate Private Investment For The Search For Other Valuable Mineral Substances; Identify And Update The Potentialities For The Selection Of New Targets, Mining Showings And Mineralizations In The Mali West Area. The Identification Of Mining Showings And Developments Of The Identified Mineral Targets , Including Their Metallogenic, Gitological And Geological Context, In Order To Improve Knowledge Of The Mineral Resource Potential On The Sheets Of Diéma, Kita, Kolokani And Banamba
