BQCIS

Precision Data for Base Metal Discovery

Successful base metal exploration (for copper, zinc, lead, nickel) hinges on accurate, reliable geochemical data. Identifying subtle pathfinder element halos and vectoring towards the core of a mineralized system requires a robust analytical and field program. BQCIS provides a complete, integrated solution for base metal exploration projects.

Our services range from on-site sample preparation and portable XRF (pXRF) analysis for real-time field decisions, to comprehensive multi-element analysis (e.g., four-acid digest with ICP-MS/OES) at our accredited regional laboratories. We ensure rigorous Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols are maintained throughout the process, from sample collection to final assay.

We also provide expert core logging and data management services, helping your team build a high-integrity geological database. This clean, verifiable data is the essential foundation for deposit modeling, resource estimation, and making confident, data-driven decisions on where to focus your exploration efforts.

Success Story

Geochemical Data Analytics Identifies New Drill Target

The Challenge:

A junior exploration firm held extensive multi-element soil and rock data but lacked clear vectors to mineralization, resulting in high-cost, low-success drilling.

Our Solution:

BQCIS reprocessed the geochemical data using machine-learning algorithms to highlight pathfinder correlations and geochemical clusters previously overlooked by manual methods.

The Result:

The analysis revealed a new anomaly corridor consistent with known mineralization signatures. Follow-up drilling confirmed a Cu-Au intersection, validating the AI-assisted target model and unlocking new exploration potential.
