Experience & Expertise

Field Programs

Our team has led, organized and participated in dozens of exploration programs involving mapping, geochemical sampling, prospecting and drilling from coast to coast in Canada, the USA and Nicaragua.

Map Compilations

We can leverage on extensive experience with advanced GIS techniques to produce high-quality and visually beautiful maps that make your mineral exploration ideas stand out to prospective investors.

Digital Data Collection

We use advanced digital tablets in the field to collect data-rich geo information that’s accurately positioned on your project. It allows us to acquire huge amounts of data very quickly and it’s almost immediately ready to use. We can quickly take your geological ideas from the desktop into the field and use it to efficiently explore your project.

PROSPECTIVITY MODELING

We have developed an in-house Gold Sleuth that leverages data-driven and supervised knowledge-driven machine learning algorithms to improve and highlight potentially overlooked geological targets ranging from gold to base metals and critical minerals.

Drilling

We have supervised dozens of drilling programs ranging from small single drill programs up to five drills with multiple geologists logging core. We also have specialized experience using reverse circulation (RC) drills to collect deep buried glacial tills and to sample buried bedrock quickly.

Reporting & Grants

Our team has extensive experience writing high quality and comprehensive assessment reports for mineral properties based on map compilation and field work. We have provided assistance in producing grant applications and maps for mineral exploration funding programs, press releases and promotional materials.
