Land package evaluation
Regional reviews for royalty and exploration groups, combining public data to identify ground worth acquiring.
Experience
Interpretation across many mineral systems
Since 2020 we have carried out airborne geophysical interpretation projects for exploration companies, from juniors to majors and royalty groups. That builds on five earlier years of the same work at Condor Consulting.
Where we've worked
Regions
Saskatchewan
Athabasca Basin
Repeated interpretation of the basement beneath the basin for unconformity-related uranium: graphitic basement conductor corridors, structural traps and the faults that move fluids.
Yukon · NWT
Northern Cordillera
Sediment-hosted and MVT zinc-lead-silver, tungsten skarn, orogenic and intrusion-related gold, in rugged terrain where good magnetics matter most.
British Columbia · Alaska
Western Cordillera
Porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum and epithermal systems, VMS districts and orogenic gold belts.
Western United States
Basin & Range and Rockies
Low- and high-sulfidation epithermal gold, structurally-hosted copper, polymetallic veins and replacement deposits across Nevada, Wyoming, Utah and neighbouring states.
Eastern Canada · US
Shield and Appalachians
Magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt, metamorphosed VMS, Abitibi-style gold, granite-related tungsten and carbonate-hosted zinc.
Mexico · Central & South America
Latin America
Porphyry copper districts in the Andes, Ecuador and Mexico, plus skarn, breccia and silver-rich systems in Mexico and Nicaragua.
Deposit models
What we've targeted
Each deposit type leaves a different magnetic signature, so exploration targeting starts with the deposit model: knowing which features to chase and which to ignore.
| Uranium | Unconformity-related uranium, Structurally-controlled basement uranium |
| Porphyry | Alkalic porphyry Cu-Au, Porphyry Mo, Porphyry Cu-Mo-Au |
| Epithermal | High-sulfidation epithermal Au-Ag, Low-sulfidation epithermal Au-Ag |
| Gold | Thrust-hosted orogenic gold, Orogenic gold, Syenite-associated gold, Reduced intrusion-related gold, Structurally-controlled gold |
| Base metals & copper | VMS, Sediment-hosted (CD) Zn-Pb-Ag-Ba, MVT Zn-Pb, Carbonate-hosted and replacement Zn-Pb-Ag, Cu-Au skarn, Structurally-hosted copper, Polymetallic veins |
| Magmatic | Magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE |
| Critical minerals | Granite-related W-Mo-Sn, Tungsten skarn, Graphite |
Projects since 2020
Deposit types by region
Each circle shows how many of our airborne interpretation projects since 2020 targeted that deposit type in that region. Each project is counted once, under its main deposit type.
Beyond interpretation
Other project work
Data compilation
Literature review, data acquisition and GIS database builds ahead of new exploration programs.
Map digitizing
Published and historical geology maps digitized and standardized into GIS layers with one consistent legend.
