Exploration targets generated with quantitative 3D interpretation tools have higher business value, and substantially lower risk, than conventional targets. We provide the expertise and software necessary to implement targeting workflows that take the exploration team from data to ranked drillhole targets.

With very advanced 3D geological modelling, 3D-GIS spatial analysis and query capability, and our unique 3D Targeting Workflow, we have drillhole targeting solutions a generation ahead of standard geoscience software.

We work directly with clients around the world, from juniors to majors, and across all commodity types, to generate valuable exploration targeting models on which direct drilling decisions can be made. These quantitative, evidence-based approaches have resulted in credited exploration success.

Our approach is to work with the exploration team to translate conceptual models and targeting criteria into consistent 3D earth models that incorporate all relevant geological, geophysical, and geochemical data. Our 3D-GIS environment allows interpretative discovery and quantitative definition of relationships that are otherwise exceedingly difficult to discern. The Targeting Workflow guides the team through an expert-system process of 3D volume-based data overlays to yield ranked targets that match defined exploration criteria. The target generation approach is a true 3D version of 2D GIS-based mineral-potential mapping expert-system methods.

As mineral exploration has become progressively more focused on deep, under-cover, and brownfields targeting, proper 3D methods of modelling, analysis, and interpretation are essential. Application of these methods and technologies generate substantial business value from expensive, newly acquired data. They can also be deployed to generate substantial targeting value from historical data at low relative cost.
