Starting from the surface
The block sat in a lightly explored metallogenic belt. Early surface work had outlined three broad anomaly halos — enough to be interesting, not enough to drill against with confidence. The question was how to move from surface hints to defined, drillable targets without a long, invasive campaign.
Two phases, four months
Phase I and II mapping refined those three halos into six georeferenced industrial anomalies. NMR characterisation then resolved the geometry at depth, reconstructing nineteen mineralised bodies across nine depth sections — from 45 metres down to just over 5,000 metres.
Why volumetric 3D matters
A flat anomaly map tells you where to look; a 3D model tells you how to drill. Seeing the bodies in volume — their depth, extent and relationship to one another — turns scattered targets into a single, coherent geological picture and a prioritised drilling plan.
Informed drilling, not blind drilling.
Documented benefits
- Two exploration phases completed in four months.
- Zero environmental impact during exploration.
- Thirty drilling points recommended, ranked by priority.
- An integrated geological view instead of isolated readings.
