AOI Guidelines
Exploration reports are best suited for the following deposit types:
- Porphyry/epithermal
- Magmatic
- Vein-hosted Au
- Li/REE
Areas with heavy vegetation or water coverage provide additional challenges for remote sensing exploration and may not be suitable for the reports.
We will assess each AOI to determine feasibility and appropriate deliverables.
When providing a vector file of your AOI, please note:
- Files should include a single polygon outlining the area where you would like to receive data for your report. Areas outside of your AOI will be removed.
- If your AOI has an irregular aspect ratio (very tall or wide), the images included in your report may be cropped for visual clarity. Digital deliverables will include the full extent of your submission.
