Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
Blockware Technologies Ltd.
$70,000.00
Exploration Pathfinder
FY 2024-25 · 2024-06-01
Summary
The proposed project is the development of software tools used by early stage resource companies engaged in critical mineral exploration. The tool is to be used in the field and in conjunction with portable scientific instruments. Instead of collecting samples and waiting for results, the software will give near real time results while also generating a 3D model of mineralization structures on the fly. With this added intelligence, the service allows a sample collection plan to be dynamic, thereby making exploration projects much more efficient. Testing of the software will be done on customer-owned properties in British Columbia.

Description (French)
Le projet proposé est le développement d’outils logiciels utilisés par les entreprises de ressources naturelles en phase de démarrage engagées dans l’exploration minérale critique. L’outil doit être utilisé sur le terrain et en conjonction avec des instruments scientifiques portables. Au lieu de collecter des échantillons et d’attendre les résultats, le logiciel donnera des résultats presque en temps réel tout en générant un modèle 3D des structures de minéralisation à la volée. Grâce à cette intelligence supplémentaire, le service permet d’établir un plan de collecte d’échantillons dynamique, ce qui rend les projets d’exploration beaucoup plus efficaces. Le logiciel sera testé sur des propriétés appartenant à des clients en Colombie-Britannique.
