Our clients, primarily in the mining industry, make important business decisions by acquiring and interpreting geoscience data. We also serve the non-mining geotechnical and environmental sectors, and provide leading technology and interpretational services in non-seismic geophysical methods in the petroleum industry.
We forge partnerships with industry and R&D leaders to bring the most advanced 3D geoscience knowledge and technology together in a practical, powerful way to address these challenges. We bridge the mining and petroleum worlds in both our technology partnerships and our client base.
Key Partners
Gocad® Research Consortium: Our base 3D geological modelling technology is a full generation ahead of conventional commercial mining-industry geological modelling capability. It has been continuously developed over the last 20 years in a major, industry-supported research consortium at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Géologie in Nancy, France, and further developed and commercialized by Paradigm.
Paradigm™: Gocad became commercially available in 1999, and is now a product of Paradigm, a major international geoscience software technology vendor focusing on the upstream petroleum market. Mira Geoscience was formed in 1999 to bring Gocad’s advanced, 3D earth modelling capability to the mining industry by adding mining-specific value to the basic offering. We continue to operate in that capacity as a partner of Paradigm.
University of British Columbia–Geophysical Inversion Facility (UBC-GIF): UBC-GIF, an academic unit within the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences at UBC, has been responsible for many of the fundamental scientific and technology advances in the field of geophysical modelling and inversion that have occurred over the last two decades. We are a partner of UBC in the commercialization of UBC-GIF technology. Many of their codes are directly linked to Gocad through our various software modules. AGIC is an intensive user of UBC-GIF geophysical codes.
Fullagar Geophysics Pty. Ltd. (FGPL): FGPL is a technology developer and vendor in geophysical data processing and interpretation. We bundle several FGPL technologies within our geophysical modelling and inversion modules that work with Gocad. FGPL’s “VPmg” is a centre-piece of our integrated technology in 3D constrained potential fields inversion. FGPL is also an active operational partner in AGIC.
Golder Associates: Golder Associates is a leading international consulting group in ground engineering and environmental services. Golder has broad and in-depth geotechnical engineering knowledge and experience. Mira Geoscience and Golder Associates jointly offer the “Geohazmap Workflow” product, which combines Mira’s earth modelling and 3D-GIS expertise with Golder’s geotechnical engineering expertise to deliver geotechnical hazard estimation and monitoring solutions in mining and civil applications.
Geological Survey of Canada (GSC): We have a long history of R&D collaboration and technology development partnership with the GSC. Our ongoing collaborative work with the GSC has played an important role in the creation of several of our products, including “3D-GIS”, “Targeting Workflow”, “Sparse”, and the “Rock Property Database System (RPDS)”.
Cyviz: Cyviz is a leading vendor of practical, cost-effective 3D stereo visualization solutions. We partner with Cyviz to provide technology to bring interpretational value through better 3D earth model visualization to our clients.
