Cost effective exploration and discovery of new mineral resources is being realised through advances and expertise in detection technologies, mineral systems, resource characterisation and data analysis.
We’re partnering with industry, government and the research sector on an integrated, minerals system approach for greenfields exploration in covered terrain. With a deep understanding of geological context, we help the industry to identify, develop and use the right tool-kit to find and map indicators of an ore deposit at all scales.
Understanding the geology of deep weathered and transported cover regions is problematic due to the lack of fresh bedrock outcrop and their complex weathering histories which have been developing for millions of years, and the basement rocks can be buried hundreds of meters.
We're developing new methods to reliably and comprehensively interpret and model geophysical data for explorers.
We're working on data analysis tools, coupled with machine learning techniques, to improve simulations and prediction for exploration targeting and make the most of Australia's wealth of geological data.
We are applying automation and machine learning to create low cost and alternative exploration tools, and to generate meaningful predictive models from the vast wealth of geosciences data available.
Our expertise in interoperability and big data integration using high performance computing is making geoscience research more effective.
With our partners in industry, government and the research sector, we've made available a range of technologies, techniques and tool-kits to reduce costs, increase efficiencies and better target exploration programs.
We have a 30-year track record developing innovative geochemical sampling methods for exploration in regolith and sedimentary cover dominated terrains.
Employing concepts related to hypothesis-testing and probabilistic inference allows us to provide explorers with the mathematical tools for the detection, ranking and delineation of targets.
We're developing new sensor-based technologies to detect and analyse minerals in the exploration field and direct from the drill site, providing real-time data availability to inform exploration decisions.
