Changing the way miners explore the earth as we go deeper and cleaner.
Our range of advanced imaging workflows are tailored to each dataset and chosen based on what is most suitable to the data.
Our Services
Design and Acquisition
We live and breathe seismic. Having acquired active, passive, borehole and desktop data on more than 150 projects globally, we have the expertise to design and execute low impact, environmentally sustainable programs that adapt to the unique logistical and budgetary constraints of each project. We acquire the highest quality data using high productivity techniques and an unmatched commitment to safety
Processing
Seismic processing calls for a unique approach to each dataset. Having processed more than 150 hard-rock seismic datasets, our team have developed a unique skillset and wealth of experience to apply to your datasets, both new and old. This includes the application of modern processing techniques such as PreStack Depth Migration, Reverse Time Migration, 5D Interpolation and Full Waveform Inversion, through to emerging workflows and research algorithms.
Interpretation
Our team excels at extracting powerful geological insights through a Multiphysics approach, specialising in interpreting high-resolution 2D and 3D seismic data.
Seismic serves as a framework to integrate and enhance other geophysical datasets, providing a multi-dimensional view that deepens geological understanding. With the right tools and expertise, we are dedicated to maximising the value of your geophysical data.
Innovation
Seismic datasets provide the most detailed and precise geophysical data available, essential for generating accurate, data-driven insights. By extending borehole data into comprehensive 3D models, seismic data enhances the accuracy of geological interpretations, enabling more informed decision-making across the the entire life of mine value chain.
Seismic for all sectors
Our Clients
Jessica and Carrara present as unique exploration opportunities… We have utilised this widespread seismic coverage, together with a detailed gravity survey facilitated by the NT Geological Survey in 2022, to generate drill targets for testing in 2023… The reprocessing of the seismic lines at Jessica and Carrara by HiSeis, experts in hard rock geological imaging… (The) results have been revealing.
A high-resolution 3D seismic survey has now been completed over a 21 square kilometre area surrounding the Neves-Corvo mine. Preliminary results have clearly imaged the major Semblana deposit, verifying the effectiveness of this new tool in the search for blind massive sulphide deposits.
Asia Iron Australia found HiSeis Pty Ltd to be very professional in how they conducted their business from first engagement through to the review of the completed deliverables. Preliminary data from the first part of the test line was made available within a very short turn around which allowed Asia Iron Australia to make the decision to extend the survey to the 5 other planned lines.
Northern Star used the seismic method with great success to map deep structures down plunge from the mineralisation at Paulsen’s gold mine resulting in a new orebody being discovered… We see seismic as one of the tools in our arsenal which will significantly extend the life of these assets.
The introduction of innovative seismic and other technologies will allow us to significantly improve the probability of making a discovery. At Pajingo and Cracow, drilling along the 2D seismic lines showed that zones of clay alteration spatially associated with mineralised faults and the larger epithermal system can be accurately interpreted from the seismic sections.
The value we get from using the 3D seismic has been absolutely tremendous in terms of, moving forward, how much value we are deriving from our exploration spend. It’s just such a compelling value proposition for all mining companies.
Significantly the 3D seismic survey maps the location of both known fault/vein systems as well as a significant number of other faults likely to host epithermal veins. This is potentially a breakthrough technology to map complex fault and vein systems and together with other geologic parameters directly target parts of the fault likely to host gold mineralisation.
At Plutonic… We did a 2D seismic line at Pegasus in the Kundana belt, and the historic view is that in very steeply dipping structures you don’t get a lot of information, but the early signs from the 2D seismic at Kundana will probably lead us to do a 3D as it very very clearly showed the structures and enhanced the targets that they are drilling.
From my perspective, hard rock seismic is gaining momentum, where our other geophysical methods lack the resolution and depth of investigation to adequately define geology at depth.
IGO’s Nova deposit has become a testing ground for the company’s geophysical exploration. The company has been pushing the envelope with geophysical technology, successfully creating a high-resolution 3D seismic cube that has been accurate beyond its expectations – an achievement chief geophysicist Andrew Fitzpatrick believes is just scratching the surface.
The information obtained provides an extremely valuable insight into the key features that control the mineralisation of the Hillside copper deposit. Additionally, the information obtained shows features which are known to be associated with mineralisation extending well away from existing drilling, confirming potential extensional drill targets.
We already know that structures control the high-grade copper zones at Hillside and now we can see a series of these structures radiating away from a large body at depth which we believe may be an intrusive. This could be the source of the copper at Hillside… This recent 3D seismic survey could be a game changer for Rex.
Another innovation is the 3D seismic survey carried out at the site last year… The resulting dataset is of a high quality and has been interpreted to create a structural model that has facilitated cost-effective planning of deep drill holes as well as providing important geotechnical and structural information.
The information seismic surveying give us is unparalleled technically in my view, let alone providing, on a bang-for-buck cost basis, a very, very good data set for the money that you spend… With the first drill hole into the 3D seismic data set we made a new discovery – the very first hole – and we’ve now drilled eight holes into it and we haven’t missed it in a single hole.
Hi Matt [Lawrence], Just wanted to say how impressed Adam [Kennedy] and I are with your efficiency, communication and professionalism both prior to, and while conducting our survey. It’s been a pleasure working with you and we can’t wait to see the results the survey generates!
