The knowledge base for exploration, mining, infrastructure and energy projects
Request advice on geological surveys
Geological surveys provide information on subsurface structures, rock distributions, mineral deposit potential and geotechnical conditions, thereby forming the basis for safe, efficient and cost-effective project development.
DMT supports companies worldwide throughout the entire project life cycle, from the initial identification of targets through exploration and resource assessment to mine planning, development and utilisation of the subsurface. In doing so, we combine nearly three centuries of mining experience with modern digital methods from the geosciences, geophysics and data analysis.
Would you like to carry out geological surveys, or have them carried out, as part of your project? Please get in touch with our experts – we look forward to hearing from you.
Our interdisciplinary teams develop subsurface models and provide the data basis for technical, economic and regulatory decisions. By integrating geological, geophysical and geotechnical information, we create precise 3D geological models that enable the early assessment of resource potential, geological risks and possible uses.
These models support, amongst other things:
We utilise innovative technologies and in-house developments to carry out high-quality geological surveys. By digitising geological data, we enhance efficiency, transparency and data quality throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Our technology portfolio includes:
Geological surveys analyse the composition and properties of the subsurface. They provide important information on rocks, mineral deposits, geological structures and geotechnical conditions for exploration, mining and infrastructure projects.
3D geological models visualise complex subsurface structures and support resource assessment, risk minimisation and the planning of mining, energy and infrastructure projects.
DMT integrates geological, geophysical and geotechnical data into digital models and produces robust mineral resource estimates to serve as a basis for investment and planning decisions.
Geological surveys identify suitable reservoir structures, assess geothermal potential and reduce technical risks in the development of sustainable energy projects.
DMT utilises modern seismic techniques, geophysical measurement methods, optical borehole imaging, the CoreScan3® core scanning system, and digital data management and modelling solutions.
