VOYAGER FOR MINING & ENERGY
Drill logs, geochemistry, geophysical surveys and scanned plans sit across regional servers, separate ArcGIS portals and archives inherited through acquisitions. Voyager finds, indexes and enriches them in place, so geologists, planners and GIS teams can search one catalog by prospect, tenement or corridor. No migration required.
Trusted by global mining and energy companies
It’s not missing. It’s just not findable.
Thirty years of drill records, geochemical surveys, scanned field plans and CAD drawings, some in file paths so deep that older tools couldn’t read them. It’s all there.
Your teams just can’t see it, search it or use it.
DECISIONS WITHOUT THE DATA
Knowledge that walks out the door
When data isn't findable, teams decide without it or pay someone to dig it up by hand, every time.
PAYING FOR IT TWICE
Duplicate rates past 50%
Every duplicate started as a search that came up empty, so the survey got done again.
NOT ONE KIND OF DATA
A grid reference in paragraph three
CAD, field reports, surveys and scanned plans. Most tools handle one, not all.

EXPLORATION AND GEOSCIENCE
Start every prospect with what is already known
Search an area and see every drill program, geochemical sample, geophysical survey and field report tied to it, including work done decades ago. That full record goes straight into the suitability studies that decide whether a site moves forward, and teams learn why earlier programs stopped before paying to repeat them.

GLOBAL OPERATIONS AND SISTER MINES
Put every mine’s knowledge in front of every team
A geologist or mine planner at one site can draw on the data from sister mines around the world, such as comparable deposits, past studies and mine plans, without emailing regional offices or knowing which server holds what. Voyager connects each region’s portal and file servers, normalizes metadata that different teams manage differently, and reaches low-bandwidth sites through lightweight indexing agents. Results can go straight onto the map in ArcGIS Pro.

ACQUISITIONS AND LEGACY DATA
Know what you acquired, and what you already had
Acquisitions bring in servers full of plans, reports and survey data that nobody has catalogued. Voyager indexes inherited and legacy archives, including files buried too deep for older tools to reach, and extracts the location from scanned documents. The result can be an exploration record that changes how you see a site’s potential, or a compliance problem that was hiding in a legacy dataset. Either way, you find it before it finds you.

Due diligence
DATA GOVERNANCE AND CLOUD MIGRATION
Decide what moves, what archives and what needs a closer look
Moving to the cloud means deciding what to keep, and most companies don’t know how much of their data is duplicated. Voyager shows where the same surveys and reports live in several places, tags content by age, type and rules you set, routes it to cloud or archive, and flags personal or sensitive material for review. Your data team spends its time only on the files that need a person’s judgment.
Better data starts with finding what you already have.
Find it. Enrich it. Use it.
Voyager is the intelligence layer between your company’s data and the applications your teams already use. It does not replace your GIS or your document systems.
01 / FIND IT
Connect to every site
Voyager connects to ArcGIS portals, file servers, document systems and legacy archives where your data already lives, including remote sites with limited bandwidth. Nothing moves.
02 / ENRICH IT
Add the spatial context
Voyager extracts locations and metadata from scanned plans, reports and field records, normalizes metadata across teams, and tags content by rules you define.
03 / USE IT
Search from where you work
Geoscientists search by prospect, tenement or corridor in Voyager, add results straight to the map in ArcGIS Pro, or feed them through APIs to the applications and AI tools you build.
Indexes the formats mining and energy teams actually keep
Structured and unstructured spatial data, read where it lives.
One search across all of it.

Frequently asked questions
Do we have to migrate our data?
No migration required. Voyager indexes records in place.
Can Voyager reach remote sites with limited bandwidth?
Lightweight indexing agents connect remote sites to a searchable catalog while your records stay in place.
Does Voyager replace our GIS?
No. Voyager connects your data with the applications your teams already use.
How does Voyager handle security and data sovereignty?
Voyager can preserve existing permissions across connected systems with built-in cross-system authentication. Our team works with your organization to scope deployment, access and data sovereignty requirements.
How long does it take to get started?
Talk with our team to scope your systems, data and deployment requirements.
