Know where to look.
Our drone-enabled geophysical services help exploration teams investigate geological structures, map anomalies and prioritize areas for follow-up testing — without relying on guesswork alone.
Magnetic, mapping and other sensor-based methods as suited to the project.
Geological context, maps, anomaly analysis and priority zones.
Data products to inform the next stage of field verification.
From the first question
to the next decision.
We align survey, laboratory and engineering work with the decisions your project needs to make.
Define the problem.
Tell us about your claim, plant, process or project. We clarify your objectives, existing data and site conditions.
Gather the evidence.
Plan the relevant airborne, laboratory, surveying or automation work based on the scope agreed.
Make sense of it.
Review observations, process measurements and produce clearly explained findings or engineering recommendations.
Put insight to work.
Use the findings to guide fieldwork, project planning, plant improvements or further testing.
Technology, in action.
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Here are a few important things to understand before choosing a survey or technical service.
Ask us directly01Can a drone tell me exactly where gold is?+
Drone geophysical surveys measure characteristics such as magnetic variations and geological structures. They help identify promising targets, but cannot independently guarantee gold, its grade, its precise depth or commercial viability. Ground sampling and drilling are needed to confirm discoveries.
02What does the 30-hectare mapping package cost?+
The supplied reference quotation lists US$2,794 for an area of up to 30 hectares. Final scope, pricing, survey requirements and delivery timing are confirmed directly for each project.
03What will I receive after a survey?+
Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables may include interpreted magnetic or radiometric maps, structural interpretation, priority areas, a PDF report and Google Earth KMZ files.
04Do you only work in Zimbabwe?+
SCADA is based in Belvedere, Harare and describes operations and project experience in Zimbabwe, Malawi and Zambia, with a wider SADC focus. Contact the team about your specific project location.
