1.Drilling service
The Drilling Service staff have carried out core drilling operations during the exploration of numerous deposits, including the Teghout and Vallex deposits. Drilling was performed both from the surface and from underground mine workings. The total length of boreholes drilled by the service exceeds 400,000 meters.
Currently, the Drilling Service is equipped with the following drilling equipment: Christensen CS 1000 P6, Christensen CS 140, and Diamec U6 (all manufactured by Atlas Copco), as well as a URB 3A3 rotary drilling rig for hydrogeological drilling, manufactured in Russia.

2.Geological service
The specialists of geological service were involved in the exploration of the Teghout deposit (2005–2015) and the Vallex deposit (2009–2015). They contributed to the development of the full range of graphical materials, the creation of the block model, and the calculation of reserves. The licensed Micromine software was used for block modelling and reserve estimation.
3.Sample preparation laboratory
The Margahovit Sample Preparation Laboratory processed samples from the Teghout and Vallex deposits, as well as from several other deposits. During its operation, the laboratory processed over 500,000 core, trench, bulk, technological, and other types of samples. The Sample Preparation Laboratory is equipped with the necessary equipment.
