What GeoGlobal does
GeoGlobal LLC is a geological consulting firm founded in 2015 by Dr. Abani R. Samal and headquartered in Riverton, Utah. The company provides specialized technical services to the global mining industry, including geological consulting, mineral resource estimation, mine-to-mill reconciliation, resource audits, and technical training programs. Its work is anchored in industry-standard software platforms — Vulcan (Maptek) for geological modeling and Isatis (Geovariances) for geostatistical analysis — applied across both project advisory and structured training engagements.
The firm's service portfolio spans institutional advisory work, such as a World Bank project in Nigeria, through to continuing-education partnerships with professional bodies including the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG), the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM), and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM). It has built out a sequenced training product line, including the MREAG-Refresher program launched in September 2025 and a Mine-to-Mill Reconciliation program scheduled for October 2026, alongside PDH/CEU credit integration with AIPG.
GeoGlobal operates as a bootstrapped private LLC with 1-10 employees. Its business model is fee-for-service, combining project-based consulting engagements with recurring paid training cohorts distributed via professional-society channels. Revenue and client delivery are closely tied to the founder's personal credentials — Registered Member of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (RM-SME), Certified Professional Geologist (CPG), and Society of Economic Geologists Fellow (SEG Fellow) with 25 years of industry experience — which functions as both the company's primary distribution asset and its principal concentration risk.

GeoGlobal competitors and assessment
Company assessmentOthers
- Maptek: Developer of Vulcan, the resource-estimation software GeoGlobal uses. Not a direct competitor but an enabling technology partner whose product ecosystem and training programs overlap with GeoGlobal's academy.
- Geovariances: Developer of Isatis geostatistical software used by GeoGlobal. Adjacent enabler rather than competitor, but Geovariances also offers training in geostatistics that partially overlaps with GeoGlobal's MREAG curriculum.
Direct peers
- SRK Consulting: Global mining consultancy providing resource estimation, geostatistics, due diligence, and mine design. Direct competitor to GeoGlobal across virtually all of GeoGlobal's consulting services and target clients.
- CSA Global (ERM): Mining geology and resource consultancy (now part of ERM) offering resource estimation, exploration services, and independent technical reporting. Closely comparable in service mix and customer base.
- Snowden Optiro (Datamine): Mining consultancy specializing in geological modelling, resource estimation, and geostatistics. Highly comparable to GeoGlobal's applied-geostatistics and resource-estimation services.
- Behre Dolbear: International mining consultancy providing due diligence, feasibility studies, and resource consulting to mining companies and financial institutions — overlapping GeoGlobal's financial-institution client segment.
- AMC Consultants: Mining consultancy providing geological services, resource estimation, and mine planning to mining companies and financial institutions globally. Direct peer across GeoGlobal's full consulting portfolio.
- RPA (SLR Consulting): Resource estimation and mining consulting firm, now part of SLR. Highly comparable — Dr. Samal previously worked at predecessor firm Pincock, Allen and Holt — and competes for the same NI 43-101/JORC engagements.
- RPM Global (formerly Runge Pincock Minarco): Mining advisory and consulting firm offering resource estimation, geotechnical, and mine planning services. Comparable in scope, particularly given Dr. Samal's prior tenure at Pincock, Allen and Holt (now under the RPM/SLR umbrella).
Broad incumbents
- WSP Global (Mining): Large engineering consultancy with a global mining practice offering geology, resource estimation, and environmental services. Operates at much greater scale than GeoGlobal but competes for the same technical-due-diligence mandates.
