Mining & minerals

StatusBrazil live; Peru national layers loaded; airborne survey in design

Who holds what, what produces and where to look next. MineralScan reads a country's mining register, royalties and geoscience as one decision layer; Airborne Survey is designed to add magnetics, LiDAR and hyperspectral data from certified operators. Beneath the surface, targets are modelled from geophysics, drilling and geochemistry.
