about

Our Vision

To revolutionise how miners explore the Earth, enabling deeper, more sustainable discoveries

Our Purpose

Unlocking resource potential for our clients—faster, more efficiently, with reduced risk and greater confidence

Our Strategy

We enhance our clients’ geological understanding by integrating data insights seamlessly into their workflows, with active seismic playing a key role in enabling comprehensive multiphysics analysis.

Our Values

People and technology are at the heart of everything we do. Safety is our top priority, and we foster a culture of mutual respect within a high-performance environment that embraces creative thinking and innovative technologies—key to driving our shared success.

Hard rock seismic has proven to be commodity agnostic with seismic drill targeting solutions successfully completed in Gold, Copper, Nickel, Cobalt, Lead, Zinc, Manganese, Lithium, Uranium, Rare Earth’s and more.

Our story

150

surveys

75

clients

15

countries

HiSeis originated from the research department of Exploration Geophysics, Curtin University, Western Australia. Such was success of the new techniques developed from the research that in 2009 the enterprise was spun out of the University as a fully commercial operation.

HiSeis has evolved into the most significant hard rock geological imaging company in the world. As of June 2022, HiSeis has successfully completed over 150 seismic surveys for 75 separate clients in 15 countries around the globe.

Through combined innovative technology and the know-how from industry experienced personnel we can, for the first time, produce reliable and quality seismic images across a wide range of hard rock environment that will accelerate discovery time and improve life of mine planning.

To resource the future, we need to see underground. The seismic reflection technique offers higher resolution subsurface imaging at depths down to and beyond that of traditional geophysical methods used in minerals exploration.

The enhanced geological insight from seismic is more important than ever as exploration transitions to more complex environments and deeper frontiers in the search for critical metals.
