Advanced-stage exploration

Building confidence through integrated exploration data

Advanced-stage exploration is for companies with significant drilling completed and datasets accumulated, but not yet fully integrated or interrogated. ALS helps teams consolidate drillhole, assay and geophysical data into more complete models, using machine learning and specialist interpretation to support resource definition, infill drilling and feasibility decisions with greater confidence.

 3D Prospectivity Analysis

A data-driven approach to subsurface targeting and deposit modelling

A machine learning approach that consolidates drillhole data, geophysical layers and assay results into 3D prospectivity volumes, replacing simplified manual models with data-driven deposit geometry. Ideal for companies moving toward resource estimation that need a more rigorous and defensible picture of where mineralisation is most likely to occur at depth. 

  • Integrate drilling, assay and geophysical data into one model 

  • Generate 3D prospectivity insights for target refinement 

  • Support resource definition and infill drilling decisions 

  • Strengthen confidence in subsurface interpretation 

Specialist Consulting Services

  1. Geoscience integration & targeting 

    Bring together geological, geochemical, geophysical and drilling datasets into a more complete targeting framework. This helps teams identify relationships across datasets and supports more confident target prioritisation. 

  2. Geophysical inversions

    Transform geophysical data into more interpretable subsurface models that help define geological structures, refine targeting and improve confidence in deposit geometry.  

  3. Lithogeochemical & hyperspectral solutions

    Use lithogeochemical and hyperspectral datasets to improve geological interpretation, identify alteration patterns and support more detailed understanding of mineralised systems. 

  4. 3D Modelling

    Build integrated 3D geological models that combine multiple datasets into a more coherent view of the subsurface, supporting interpretation, targeting and resource work.

  5. Standardisation of logging data

    Improve the quality and consistency of legacy and current logging datasets so they are easier to compare, integrate and use in downstream modelling. 

  6. Downhole data domaining

    Define geological or ore domains along the drill trace using structured downhole datasets, helping improve interpretation and strengthen model inputs.

  7. Semi-automated core logging

    Support logging workflows with AI-assisted tools that improve consistency across high-volume drilling programs and help teams extract more usable geological information from core.

  8. Core scanning data integration

    Combine core scanning outputs with geological logs, assays and other drilling datasets to improve interpretation and make better use of data collected during drilling.

Core Intelligence for Advanced-stage Exploration

At advanced stage, Core Intelligence brings together automated logging, core scanning outputs and assay results into a single integrated dataset. This helps ensure the information collected during drilling feeds directly into geological interpretation and 3D modelling, rather than sitting in disconnected systems. The result is a more complete and usable picture of the subsurface to support resource definition and target refinement.

  • Connect drilling data into one integrated interpretation workflow 
  • Improve use of core, assay and scanning outputs 
  • Strengthen geological models for resource and feasibility work
