ROCK RECORDS

Exploration and resource decisions are only as good as the geological framework that underpins them. When that framework is incomplete, outdated, or built on unvalidated assumptions, the risk of misallocating time and capital increases significantly. When the documentation behind it can’t withstand scrutiny, that risk extends to regulators, investors and boards.

Rock Records delivers targeted geological studies where focused interpretation is needed to inform exploration strategy, project development, or regional understanding.

Studies draw on the full range of available data — published literature, government open-file reports, geophysical surveys, geochemical databases, and remote sensing imagery — synthesised through an experienced geological lens. Outputs are built to be clear, defensible and fit for purpose.

Services include:

• Regional synthesis, minerals systems analysis and prospectivity target generation

• Subsurface characterisation for energy, CCS, and groundwater applications

• Technical report writing and peer review for regulatory, investor, and government audiences

• Expert geological assessment for legal, due diligence, and investment contexts

Junior exploration teams and investors evaluating new ground rarely have the internal time or bandwidth to untangle decades of fragmented open-file data, messy legacy geophysics, and unvalidated reports. When you're moving fast to build targets, relying on incomplete or glossed-over data risks wasting your most precious resource: your drill budget.

Rock Records acts as an extension of your technical team through our Know Your Ground framework — delivering rapid, research-grade data synthesis to uncover hidden gaps, validate legacy claims, and support better-informed decisions about where field dollars go.

Services include:
· Ground Truth (Audit): rapid diagnostic assessment of what data exists and critical gaps
· Deep Dive (Data Synthesis): rigorous assessment of existing data, integration and re-interpretation of historical geophysics, geochemistry, and legacy drill logs
· Targeting (Program Strategy): actionable target ranking, field campaign design, and data acquisition advice to support well-targeted programs

Raw geological data rarely arrives in a form that supports analysis, modelling, or machine learning workflows. Inconsistent attribution, undocumented provenance, and missing structural context limit what you can do with even high-quality source data.

Rock Records develops expert-attributed geological and geospatial datasets that encode geological interpretation into structured, machine-readable formats — ready for analysis, modelling, and reuse. The value is not just in the data, but in the geological reasoning embedded within it. Products are delivered with documented provenance, explicit uncertainty, and full methodology notes — meeting the standards required for ML training pipelines, mineral potential mapping programs, and regulatory submissions.

Applications include:

• ML-ready training datasets for mineral potential mapping and predictive exploration

• Regional-scale attributed structural and lithological datasets

• Licensed area-of-interest extracts for specific project needs

• Dataset preparation and attribution for government and industry geoscience programs

Understanding the structural architecture of your project area is fundamental to de-risking exploration decisions and unlocking resource potential. Without a clear picture of fault systems, deformation history, and structural controls on mineralisation, critical targets can be missed or misinterpreted.

Rock Records provides structural interpretation from continental to tenement scale, integrating field observations, geochemical and geochronological data, and geophysical imagery to build a coherent picture of crustal architecture.

Services include:

• Fault and shear zone characterisation

• Deformation histories of multiply deformed sequences and their structural controls on mineralisation

• Tectonic reconstructions to restore your project area through time – identifying where similar structural traps or mineralisation systems are likely to occur.

Geophysical datasets, such as magnetic, gravity, radiometrics and seismic imagery (reflection and tomography) contain a wealth of information about subsurface geology, but extracting meaningful geological insight requires more than processing. It requires an interpreter who understands the geology.

Rock Records integrates geophysical imagery with structural, geochemical and petrophysical knowledge to produce geologically defensible interpretations that go beyond standard contractor outputs. This is particularly valuable where geophysical data are the primary window into covered or poorly exposed terranes.

Services include:

• Magnetic and gravity interpretation for structural and lithological mapping

• Radiometric data analysis for lithological discrimination

• Integration of geophysical imagery with existing geological and geochemical datasets to produce coherent subsurface interpretations.

• Prospectivity screening based on geophysical signatures of known mineral systems.

Building internal geological capability is an investment that pays dividends across every project your team undertakes. Whether you need to upskill staff in structural interpretation, introduce geospatial workflows, or work through a complex geological problem with an experienced external perspective, Rock Records provides targeted support tailored to your team's needs.

Engagements are structured around your specific goals — from a single advisory session to an ongoing technical collaboration.

Services include:

• Short courses and targeted training in structural geology, tectonic analysis, and geospatial data integration

• Ongoing advisory access for teams working through a specific technical problem, outside a formal report

• Mentoring for early-career geoscientists developing interpretive skills

• Collaborative research and data-driven projects bridging industry and academia
