Pacific Rim Geological Consulting, Inc ( PRGCI ) is an Alaska S Corporation based in Fairbanks. In 2007, PRGCI celebrated its 10th year of participation in Alaskas business and geotechnical community. The corporations principle goal is to provide high quality geological consulting for a wide variety of private and public sector clients in Alaska, NW Canada, and Eastern Russia. For twenty-five years, Tom Bundtzen worked for the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, where he completed geological mapping assignments, mineral industry surveys, and applied research projects aimed at identifying lands for State selection and transportation needs. PRGCI is a small company with just a few permanent employees. PRGCI gathers geotechnical information, verifies discoveries, and solves problems. We build programs around what is needed by the client through deployment of both PRGCI employees and sub-contractual personnel that can meet those specific technical requirements. What PRGCI brings to the table is a variety of expertise for client needs such as bedrock and surficial geological mapping, claim staking, permit review and analysis, independent review of company programs, exploration of metallic and non-metallic resources, and petrographic and other lab-based expertise. Our client lists include not only larger corporations but small mining and exploration firms, sand and gravel and rock quarry companies, and government agencies in need of quality, applied geological information. PRGCI has completed contractual work with the U.S. Geological Survey that helped create and establish the Alaska Resource Data Files ( ARDF ) for key quadrangles in southwest Alaska. PRGCI has also contributed geological mapping expertise to several Federal projects in western and southwestern Alaska.
