Help your exploration teams manage through risk and uncertainty.
THE CHALLENGE OF THE UNKNOWN
For geoscientists and team leaders working in the metals and mining industry, the concepts of risk and uncertainty are everyday occurrences. Determining whether an economically viable mineral deposit exists beneath the subsurface is not an exact science and requires answers to challenging research questions. Whether exploring greenfields or brownfields, companies face huge economic risks when a project is not fully researched and vetted during the prospecting process. The biggest risk of all, however, is not having the right information at all or easily accessible – and that is more often the case than not.
Even when valuable information, such as scientific literature, maps and seismic data, is available, it’s often buried in the literature, rendering it too time-consuming to draw conclusions from. The exploration geoscientist’s work is integral to the bottom line, yet their time and research is often hampered by the lack of easily accessible, relevant information. When geoscientists spend too much time searching for information rather than analyzing it, projects delay and fail. In a tough economic environment, in a volatile industry, it’s even more critical that exploration plays and assets are optimized.
