Geoscience and data for the mines of Pakistan.

We take an exploration license from the first satellite scene to the report the Mines & Minerals Department signs off: remote sensing, geological and geophysical surveys, plant design, and the data system that keeps every record in one place.

Magnetic survey grid Move across it to read the stations Ochre: peak reading. Illustrative data.

Read the ground from orbit first.

Before a field crew is mobilized, we have already mapped where the clays, iron oxides and carbonates sit on your license, and ranked where to walk first.

Alteration minerals leave their signatures in the short-wave infrared. We read them from multispectral and hyperspectral satellite data, check the results against reference spectra, and turn them into targets a geologist can stand on.

From license to submission

A typical exploration license, start to finish. We can run the whole sequence or join at any step.

  1. Desk study

    Geology, past work and a remote sensing screen of the whole license.

  2. Target ranking

    Alteration, structure and access combined into a ranked list with field coordinates.

  3. Field program

    Mapping, sampling and geophysical surveys where they pay off.

  4. Interpretation

    Integrated maps, cross-checked results and a clear recommendation on what to drill.

  5. Department filing

    Geological report, work plan and progress reports in the format the department expects.

Selected work

Project names and coordinates are withheld for our clients. The geology is real.
