DR Congo — Diamond-placer delineation

Multi-block remote-sensing search and delineation of alluvial diamond placer deposits across a large central-African licence area in DR Congo — a frontier exploration scenario where conventional ground access is constrained by tropical terrain and security.

Objective

Map diamond-bearing placer corridors at scale, prioritise blocks for ground follow-up, and de-risk the conventional exploration spend by isolating the highest-confidence segments before any team mobilises in the field.

Approach

Patented analog satellite-imagery processing tuned to diamond-signature reagents, paired with watercourse-deposit lithology mapping. The technique works without prior production data, so the project ran as a Blind Survey using POISK's reference libraries.

Outcome

Prioritised diamond-placer anomaly map delivered for a multi-block licence, focusing follow-up ground exploration on the highest-confidence segments. The work demonstrated the method's reach into difficult central-African terrain and informed the operator's next-stage planning.
