Process

What we need from you before exploration starts.

Calibration depends on real reference samples from the licence area or a nearby control site.

To ensure accurate and reliable exploration results, clients are encouraged to provide available geological, geophysical, and sample data related to the project area. This information helps improve calibration accuracy, optimise survey performance, and enhance interpretation confidence.

Basic Project Information

Clients should provide:

  • Coordinates of the acreage / territory to be explored, in datum WGS-84 (latitude and longitude) with exactness up to seconds. Client must specify if the Latitude is N (North) or S (South) and if the Longitude is E (East) or W (West), and confirm that the coordinates are in WGS84 datum.
  • Definition of geological / technical task to be performed — Scope of Work (SoW) and deliverables expected.
  • Name of target mineral resource to be identified.
  • Any available geological and geophysical (G&G) data for the project area or nearby producing fields.
  • Where available, coordinates of nearby productive wells or mines — highly recommended to improve calibration and survey accuracy.

Sample Requirements

Samples play an important role in calibrating our RS-NMR exploration systems and improving detection accuracy. They help identify the unique spectral and frequency characteristics of the target resource within a specific geological environment.

General Sample Guidelines

Before shipment, clients should provide:

  • Chemical analysis or laboratory assay results.
  • Clear photographs of each sample for approval.
  • Sampling coordinates and depth.
  • Lithological description of surrounding rocks (recommended).
  • Shipping instructions will be provided after sample approval.

Solid Mineral Exploration

For mineral exploration projects, two sample types are recommended: a High-Grade Sample (highest concentration of the target mineral) and an Industrial-Grade Sample (minimum economically viable concentration for mining).

  • Approximate sample weight: 150 g each.
  • Samples should preferably originate from the same geological area.
  • Exact sampling coordinates.
  • Sampling depth.
  • Mineral composition and assay results (lab chemical analysis).
  • Clear sample and sampling sites photographs.
  • Overview of geological setting, where available.

Oil, Natural Gas & Gas Condensate Exploration

For hydrocarbon projects, clients are recommended to provide:

  • Approximately 150 ml of liquid hydrocarbon, if available.
  • Samples preferably collected from wells in the same play of the target area.
  • Coordinates and depth of the source well.
  • Chemical analysis (composition) of oil, gas, or condensate.
  • Lithological descriptions where available.
  • Overview of geological setting, where available.
  • The closer the source well is to the exploration area, the higher the calibration accuracy.

Blind Survey / Frontier Exploration

If no samples or geological information are available, POISK can still conduct exploration using proprietary reference libraries and archived calibration data through a 'Blind Survey / Frontier Exploration' approach.

Why Accurate Samples Matter

Representative and well-documented samples significantly improve calibration quality, reduce interpretation errors, and increase confidence in exploration results. Providing complete and accurate information allows our specialists to deliver faster, more reliable, and cost-effective exploration solutions.
