    El Perdido - Mineral Mapping Sample Report

    Chilean-Argentine Andes · Porphyry Cu-Mo Belt

    Alunite • Muscovite • Epidote • Spectral Similarity Analysis

    3,208 km² of porphyry belt, mapped mineral by mineral.

    TerraEye used satellite spectral data to map alteration minerals that can help geologists understand where a porphyry copper system may be present at El Perdido. The project is in a well-known copper-molybdenum belt in the Andes, near major deposits such as El Teniente and Río Blanco-Los Bronces. TerraEye manually identified three relevant minerals - alunite, muscovite and epidote - then used a known field sample of propylitic alteration to search the wider property for other areas with similar spectral characteristics.

    El Perdido - Spectral Targeting Sample Report

    Chilean-Argentine Andes · Porphyry Cu-Mo Belt

    36 Ranked Targets • 5 Alteration Classes • Structural Overlay

    From 3,208 km² down to 47 - a 98.5% reduction in ground to walk.

    TerraEye analyzed 3,208 km² of spectral data, mapped five types of porphyry-related alteration, added manually interpreted geological structures, and identified areas where alteration and structural features coincided. Our geologists turned this into 36 ranked targets covering 47 km², assigning each a priority and confidence score and providing guidance for field follow-up.

      Three Areas · Two Continents

      Multispectral + hyperspectral fusion • Metal-Stressed Vegetation analysis • Terrain-matched methods

      97,300 Km² Cut To 51 Ranked Targets.

      BMRC, the technical arm of International Resources Holding, held three exploration areas across two continents, together larger than Portugal. TerraEye ran the portfolio from orbit, fusing multispectral and hyperspectral satellite data with AI and integrating the client's geological, geophysical and geochemical datasets. Where forest hid the rock, our Metal-Stressed Vegetation analysis read the canopy instead. 51 ranked targets delivered with a documented evidence trail, and BMRC's CEO publicly credited TerraEye with saving a year of work.

      Metal-Stressed Vegetation • Sentinel-2 time series • Independent validation

      The satellite layer that out-ranked the geophysics.

      An independent Regional Assessment of Mining Potential tested every available dataset against roughly 150,000 m of drill-hole assays and chose TerraEye's Metal-Stressed Vegetation layer as the single best predictor of high-grade nickel. Ground it flagged was eighteen times more likely to carry nickel above 2%, and its strongest anomaly maps directly onto Eagle's Nest.

      Bare Earth Composite • Spectral mapping • Field validation

      Targets under dense forest, confirmed on the ground.

      Our Bare Earth Composite picked out the patches of exposed soil scattered through the forest, and follow-up soil sampling confirmed iron-mineralization where we had mapped it. Published with EUSPA.

      Colibri

      Sonora · Mexico

      4 satellite missions fused • Client magnetics + geochem • Ranked, explainable targets

      Ten ranked gold targets across a 1,481 km² property.

      Colibri asked TerraEye one practical question: across a large, partly alluvium-covered property, where is it worth spending the next exploration dollar? TerraEye fused four satellite missions with the client's magnetics, two decades of surface geochemistry and historical mapping, and delivered ten priority targets, each with a written rationale, a confidence read-out and GIS-ready geometry.

      Umm Hadid

      Kuya Silver · Rakbah Plain, Saudi Arabia

      Multispectral + hyperspectral fusion • AI structural targeting • Drill-confirmed

      A blank-slate licence, drilled and confirmed high-grade.

      Working entirely from orbit, TerraEye built an independent targeting layer for Umm Hadid, fusing multispectral, hyperspectral and high-resolution satellite data with AI to turn a large, lightly-mapped licence into a short list of structural corridors worth testing on the ground. The operator's maiden 5,000-metre drill programme then tested those corridors and hit high-grade silver and gold from near surface. Kuya Silver publicly credited the combination of hyperspectral imaging and AI-led targeting for the result.

      Corral Copper

      Iron-oxide indices • SAM clay mapping • Drill-target back-test

      Spectral anomalies that matched the drilling.

      Run entirely on public data, TerraEye's iron-oxide and clay indices lined up with ground that had already been drilled, then pointed to new ground with the same signature, worth testing next.
