Mineral exploration GIS

Spatial data organized
for the next decision.

Practical GIS support, QGIS and QField setup, field-data imports, and ongoing troubleshooting for exploration teams that need reliable project data and clear geological maps.

01 / The need

The map is often the visible part of a much larger data problem.

Exploration projects accumulate government data, historic work, claims, imagery, geophysics, geochemistry, drilling, and interpretation in different formats and coordinate systems. A map can look finished while the underlying project remains difficult to update or audit.

LongRange approaches mapping as a working system: source files are organized, spatial assumptions are checked, and outputs are structured for the people who will use them next.

Typical deliverables

Useful files, clear assumptions,
and a practical handoff.

QField setup and field-data imports

Prepare field projects, forms, and reference layers; map incoming fields and check imported records so field observations can be brought back into the working GIS project.

Ongoing QField support

Help resolve import, synchronization, form, and project-configuration issues, with documented fixes and practical update steps for the field team.

QGIS project setup and cleanup

A logical layer structure, consistent symbology, project-relative paths, and a practical folder system for continued use.

Geological plans and sections

Clear maps for field planning, drilling, internal review, technical documentation, and presentations.

Spatial compilation and checks

Conversion, projection review, source tracking, and consolidation of project-scale and regional datasets.

Handoff package

Editable source files, exported figures, a short issue log, and notes describing key assumptions and update steps.

Working approach

Built around the decision,
not just the software.

The exact workflow depends on the source data, intended use, confidentiality, and professional requirements. Those constraints are confirmed before work begins.

Define the decision

Confirm the audience, intended use, geographic extent, source data, deadline, and required output formats.

Build and review

Compile the working project, surface material data issues, and review an early map before polishing the full package.

Deliver for reuse

Provide the finished maps and editable GIS package with a clear record of sources, assumptions, and limitations.

A sensible first engagement

A focused project-area compilation and one decision-ready map is a useful starting point. It creates an immediate deliverable while revealing whether broader GIS cleanup or ongoing mapping support would add value.
