Step 01
Read The Ground From Above
Satellite, radar and mineral-mapping imagery, read alongside the national geological record, to rank where to look first.
Step 02
Walk It, Map It, Sample It
Geological mapping, soil and rock sampling with the consent of landowners and communities, tested by accredited laboratories.
Step 03
Drill To Prove It
Targeted drilling on the strongest results, reported openly and to the standards of the SAMREC Code.

Notes On Our Approach
NewRandScience
Why We Start From Orbit
Satellites and radar let us read rock and structure across large areas before a single footstep, so fieldwork goes where it matters.
NewRandCommunity
Consultation Comes First
Before any work on the ground, landowners and communities are consulted through a formal, independent process.
NewRandReporting
What SAMREC Reporting Means
Why we only talk about results once they are tested, and how the SAMREC Code protects everyone who relies on them.
