Geoscience is often a crucial element for efficient resource management of natural resource projects. Bristlecone-Geo assists landowners, extractive resource industry, local government, land appraisers, and land trusts through providing qualified geoscience research, mapping, and reporting services. Keeping the audience in mind, our reports are written to provide the rationale necessary to substantiate informed decisions for decision makers.
Bristlecone-Geo assists landowners and land trusts by providing qualified mineral resource reports for land appraisal and baseline conservation easements.
Bristlecone-Geo has helped conserve over 27,500 acres.
We have prepared dozens of geoscience, mineral assessment reports, and remoteness letters for baseline studies throughout Colorado.
- Land Status Research
- Mineral Potential Reports
- Mineral Remote Assessment
- Remoteness Letters
- Severed Mineral Research
- Mining History Research
- Development Potential Evaluation
- Risk Mitigation and Hazard Assessment
- Baseline Documentation Reports
Our reports are prepared in accordance with classification systems developed by the BLM, USFS, and USGS by a Certified Professional Geologist.
