Data Management
INVESTIGATIVE | TAILORED | MONITORED | SAFE
Good field data collection is a critical step in the exploration process, but data management is the key to leveraging field data for business decision-making.
Big Rock uses industry standard methodology and best-in-class software solutions to provide clients with:
- QAQC reports
- Secure and timely access to data
- Chart and Map exports
- Customized data outputs
- Compliance documentation needs
Petrography
TECHNICAL | QUALITY | INVESTIGATIVE | SAFE
Petrographic reports are often static documents that lack the ability to grow with new learning of geologic systems.
We’ve reimagined microscopy by transforming one-and-done documents into high-resolution samples with endless possibilities.
Big Rock Exploration’s proprietary technology delivers all the advantages of petrography, including high resolution imagery collection and delivery, enabling clients to view sections directly without owning a microscope.
Geophysical Surveys
TECHNICAL | EFFICIENT | TAILORED | SAFE
Geophysical surveys help identify subsurface structures and lithologies/mineralization that may be associated with targeted resources.
Big Rock employs ground magnetics as a cost-effective way to get targeted geophysics data – even on remote projects or difficult terrane. We combine data from direct exploration methods with systematic geophysical survey data to assess subsurface soil and rock characteristics over large areas.
Permitting and Project Compliance
TECHNICAL | INVESTIGATIVE | METHODICAL | SAFE
Big Rock has considerable expertise in navigating permitting and project compliance on projects across North America. From working with the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management to the federal, state, and county agencies overseeing various environmental, water, solid waste, and other project-specific permits, Big Rock is a trusted partner for guiding clients through the permitting process and overseeing real-time compliance on public and private lands.
