Our Company Profile

At SUNRIDGE, exploration and mining are more than technical assignments—they are a discipline driven by curiosity, experience, and respect for the geological processes that control mineralization. Our team of geologists and mining engineers is deeply passionate about understanding the stories written in rocks, structures, and mineral systems. We believe that these details—often overlooked or undervalued—can determine the success or failure of mining projects.
SUNRIDGE professionals consistently ask the critical “why” questions, applying sound geological reasoning, strict QA/QC procedures, and practical engineering judgement, while maintaining discipline around budgets, schedules, and project deliverables.SUNRIDGE Exploration & Mining Services Limited was established in 2017 and operates as a Nigerian–Ghanaian–based consulting group serving clients across West Africa and beyond.
