Be Careful Of Mining Scams!
BEAR has a background in mining fraud investigations as well as expert witness experience for third party work. We can provide trustworthy, cost effective assessments before the mining activity begins and the investments are accrued. We've witnessed many scams and cons in our industry and have notice an increase in such activity, therefore; we highly advise a thorough investigation on the property before any capital investments are made.

We have also assisted property owners for evaluation and appraisal purposes before property transactions occur. Again, this is an area where scams or cons have occurred, so it is prudent to take proper action before transactions and property ownership transfers.
