Decide where to drill

Targets ranked against your budget, with the evidence behind each one and a programme staged around your funding.

Multi-source insight

What is tailored

We combine whichever layers you have (drilling, geochemistry, elevation, geophysics, mapping), and the form of the answer matches what your data can support: a ranking before drilling, probability ranges once a zone is drilled.

Example

Before drilling: a prospectivity map ranking the areas most likely to host mineralisation, showing which data layer drives each one. After 18 holes in the northern zone: “contained copper between 35 and 90 kt (low and high cases), under two alternative geological interpretations”, with the holes that would narrow the range most.

Drill targeting

What is tailored

Ranked against your budget and commodity, with the reasoning shown.

Example

“Target 1 of 5: copper-in-soil anomaly over a chargeability high at a structural intersection, undrilled. It ranks first because three independent data layers coincide. Three 250 m holes test it.” Each target lists its supporting evidence and what is missing.

Programme and budget

What is tailored

Staged around your funding rounds, with decision gates.

Example

A three-stage plan (surface sampling, ground geophysics, first drilling) with a cost range per stage, the result that justifies moving to the next one, and field points exported for GPS.

Questions

Can you help before any drilling has been done?

Yes. Before drilling, the answer takes the form of a ranking: which areas have the most independent evidence, and which holes would test them first.

How many targets will we get?

As many as the evidence supports, in ranked order. Your budget decides how far down the list the first programme goes.

What happens when drill results come in?

The new holes are added to the database, the model is rebuilt and the remaining targets are ranked again. Each update is a separate piece of work, paid for when you need it.

Have data and a decision to make?

Tell us what you have and what you need to decide. We will say what your data can support, and what it cannot, before any work starts.
