Technology
Five capabilities answer the questions that stand between the record and a piece of ground worth holding. We use the engine first on our own ground.
Data published by 80 organisations ·Names and logos belong to their owners; no endorsement or partnership is implied. All 80 sources
Capability 01
What is actually known about this ground?
Everything published about a country's geology, deposits and tenure, on one map, with the source of every layer.
Saudi Arabia: national geology with mapped deposits and occurrences, as published by the Saudi Geological Survey.
Capability 02
Where can I still get ground, and which of it is worth having?
Which ground is open, held or excluded, read from each authority's own register, with open blocks ranked by the deposit record.
Australia: open ground in green, with open pegging blocks ranked by recorded mineral endowment from low (blue) to high (red). An endowment screen of the recorded deposit record, not modelled prospectivity.
Capability 03
Where is this mineral most likely, and why?
Machine-learning models score the ground for each mineral and show the evidence behind every target; project and 3D models follow as field data and drilling come in.
Carlin Trend, Nevada: gold prospectivity with ranked targets and the evidence behind a selected location.
Capability 04
What is at surface, and what structures control it?
Satellite mapping of the alteration at surface and the structures that control it, from regional scale to camp scale with WorldView-3.
Cuprite, Nevada: alteration mineralogy from a 30 m EnMAP hyperspectral acquisition, matched against laboratory reference spectra. Cuprite is the published USGS reference site we benchmark against.
Capability 05
Can I acquire it, hold it, and what will it cost me?
Tenure, land access, environment, and the cost to hold and drill, checked before capital is committed.
Carlin Trend, Nevada: federal land classified from the live claim register, with active mining claims in red against open federal ground in green, and an operating mine at the eastern edge.
