How CAGE-IN technology has transformed mineral exploration outcomes for our clients.
Case Study 01
Copper-Gold Porphyry
Gold production dating back to the 1920s. Over 3 million ounces of gold produced from manto-type, fault-vein-hosted, and disconformity-related high-grade underground ore bodies. In the 2000s a gold-copper porphyry was found just west of the old gold mine and a resource drilling program started. About 3 Moz Au-eq resources were identified by 2010.
The project database was reanalyzed using CAGE-IN technology. The study successfully identified additional porphyries and drill targets. Within two years the resources more than tripled to over 12.8 Moz Au-eq — equivalent to over $3.5 billion in-situ gold value at 2025 prices.
Case Study 02
Skarn Deposit
Operating gold-silver mine in a skarn adjacent to a granitic intrusive. Geophysical signatures of mineralization were very weak and could not be used to identify or expand mineralization trends.
CAGE-IN technology successfully defined the mineralization signature by combining multiple layers of data. Mineralization signatures became visible in geophysics and new similar signatures were identified NW of the existing mine, providing immediate drill targets for brownfield resource expansion.
Case Study 03
Epithermal Gold
Operating epithermal gold mine had indistinguishable geophysical signatures — no contrast between ore and waste. The weak contrast could not be used to identify or expand mineralization trends.
CAGE-IN technology successfully defined the mineralization signature combining multiple layers of data. Mineralization signatures became visible in geophysics and new similar signatures were identified along strike of the existing mine, providing immediate drill targets for brownfield resource expansion.
Case Study 04
Greenfield Nickel Laterite
Reconnaissance for nickel laterite was to be conducted over 1,000 km² with no previous history of nickel mining or mineralization. Available datasets were regional geophysical surveys and remote sensing data.
Using CAGE-IN, multiple geological datasets were analyzed together. Theoretical geological concepts were applied and nickel targets were defined per metallogenic theory. Several Ni targets were identified, field-checked, and rapidly developed into drill targets. The area is still being explored but several interesting drill intercepts and resource zones have already been identified.
