TGE Mining's innovative venture into offshore mineral exploration
NS Marine Exploration represents TGE Mining’s innovative venture into offshore mineral exploration, complementing our established land-based operations. This specialized division applies cutting-edge marine exploration technologies to identify and evaluate precious mineral deposits in carefully selected submarine environments.
Marine Mineral Potential
The exploration of marine environments offers access to significant mineral resources:
- Seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) deposits rich in gold, silver, copper, and zinc
- Placer deposits formed by submarine extensions of terrestrial gold-bearing systems
- Ancient submerged coastlines that may contain concentrated heavy minerals
- Offshore alluvial systems derived from gold-bearing geological formations on land
What we did for Mining
These marine deposits often exhibit different characteristics from their terrestrial counterparts, sometimes offering higher grades and more extensive mineralization.
Exploration Technology
NS Marine Exploration utilizes specialized technologies adapted for the challenges of submarine mineral exploration:
- Advanced multi-beam sonar systems for detailed seafloor mapping
- Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) equipped with sampling and imaging capabilities
- Marine electromagnetic and seismic surveys to identify subsurface structures
- Specialized drilling systems designed for seafloor sampling and resource delineation
- Environmental monitoring systems that operate alongside exploration activities

This technological approach allows us to conduct thorough exploration while minimizing environmental impact on marine ecosystems.
Target Regions
Our NS Marine Exploration program focuses on carefully selected regions with compelling geological indicators:
- Coastal zones adjacent to known terrestrial gold districts
- Areas with favorable submarine topography that may concentrate placer deposits
- Regions with volcanic or hydrothermal activity on the seafloor
- Historic coastal mining areas with potential offshore extensions
