The Business Model

Collaborations

Over the last 20 years or so the global minerals industry has in-general experienced low rates of exploration success. Geoinformatics believe that this is in-part a result of the lack of collaboration. In response to this Geoinformatics is building collaborations throughout the minerals industry. Partnerships with global companies to majors to juniors is ensuring a pipeline of quality projects.

Data Sharing – The GeoInfoBank

Geoinformatics has a number of strategic collaborations that involve the extraction of information and knowledge from the vast and often poorly validated data held by those explorers with a long history of exploration. Projects such as the Great Basin, Western Cordillera and SWAMPY have sourced previously mothballed information and is using this information to aid with risk-managed exploration targeting. We are always cognisant of the fact that a number of world-class discoveries such as Kanowna Belle in Western Australia lay hidden as a 2g/t Au intersection at bottom of the hole for quite a few years before it was followed up. Similarly, Geoinformatics Redton project in British Columbia accessed surface sampling from over 30 different sources and when overlaid and compiled together with modern geophysics revealed a number of potentially world-class porphyry copper targets.

The GeoInfoBank is the Geoinformatics term for the information systems that we are building. With over 3 TerraBytes of data online and on archive we can rapidly search this library to access valuable exploration information. It is this information, when combined with our modeling and targeting processes that allows for rapid project generation.

Collaborations on YOUR properties

A number of companies have approached Geoinformatics to ask if we can apply our targeting process to their exploration and mining properties. Geoinformatics generally request some form of equity sharing, royalty or fee-for-success. We call this part of the business model “The Intervention”. In essence we are intervening in the traditional exploration process to rapidly convert disparate information into a series of ranked targets.

Joint Venture / Farm-In opportunities

Geoinformatics do not intend to become an operating mining company. We see our process as one that value adds to the exploration cycle. Therefore we frequently have properties or targets of our own that come up for joint-venture or sale. Contact us for find out what we have available at the moment.

Exploration Alliances

Exploration alliance partnerships allow Geoinformatics to become the proxy exploration arm for other companies. Our team of 20+ geoscientists, as well as contacts and service contracts in expediting and logistics means that we can rapidly conduct on-ground activities.
