Iron ore
Airborne magnetics and LiDAR over iron-ore exploration blocks and working mines, covering banded iron formation delineation, structural mapping, bench surveys and stockpile volumetrics.

Experience by commodity
Where our crews have worked
Programmes are grouped below by the commodity or asset class involved. Specific block names, coordinates and client attributions are withheld where confidentiality applies, and are available as references during tendering.
Manganese & ferro-alloy minerals
Magnetic mapping of host sequences and structural traps, with LiDAR coverage for access planning and topography in rugged, vegetated terrain.
Base metals & gold
Magnetic surveys aimed at alteration haloes, intrusive contacts and shear-zone corridors, with ranked anomaly targets handed over for ground follow-up.
Operating mines & quarries
Repeat LiDAR coverage for bench reconciliation, dump and stockpile volumetrics, haul road profiles and rehabilitation progress on a fixed control network.
Solar PV plants
Thermographic inspection of ground-mount and rooftop plants with classified anomaly registers and plant-level reports prepared for O&M action, delivered with SolarMark.
Training programmes
Structured aerial LiDAR and drone survey training for institutional and corporate teams, including supervised field flying and a processed pilot dataset.

Assignment profiles
What a typical scope looks like
These profiles describe the shape of assignments we routinely quote for. They are indicative planning guides rather than fixed packages — scope, coverage and reporting are agreed per site.
| Assignment profile | Typical scope | Indicative field duration |
|---|---|---|
| Exploration block survey | Magnetics over 10–60 km2, with LiDAR coverage of access routes and priority zones | 1–3 weeks per block |
| Target definition survey | Closer-spaced magnetics over an identified anomaly, plus ground profiles | 3–7 days |
| Mine volumetric campaign | LiDAR over benches, dumps and stockpiles with cut-and-fill tables | 2–6 days per site |
| Solar plant inspection | Thermal and visual coverage of the array with a classified anomaly register | 1–3 days per plant |
| Asset inspection | Visual and thermal coverage of structures, rooftops or corridors with a 3D model | 1–2 days per asset group |
| Training programme | Classroom sessions plus supervised flying, processing and QA, on your site or ours | 5–10 days |
Working with us
What clients value in a campaign
- One point of contact. The person who quotes the job is the person who answers the phone during it.
- Realistic commitments. We quote coverage per day honestly, based on terrain, canopy and access — not on a best-case number.
- Data that opens. Everything is delivered in the formats your existing software already reads, in the coordinate system you asked for.
- Documented quality. Control points, residuals and limitations are part of the delivery, not an afterthought.
- Follow-on support. Anomalies and targets come with a recommendation for the next step, not just a map.
