The starting point: three anomaly halos
The block sat in a lightly explored metallogenic belt. Early surface work had outlined three broad anomaly halos — enough to be of interest, not enough to justify drilling 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 characterization then resolved the geometry at depth, reconstructing nineteen mineralized bodies across nine depth sections — from 45 meters down to just over 5,000 meters.
Why volumetric 3D matters
A flat anomaly map indicates where to look; a 3D model indicates how to drill. The bodies viewed in volume — their depth, extent and relationship to one another — turn scattered targets into a single, coherent geological picture and a prioritized 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.
