Commercial
Fixed fee, always. Never hourly, because hourly caps the business at the founder's hours and invites an argument about scope. We do not discount; we reduce scope instead.
Two pages on one belt or one company ground position: the three strongest publicly defensible observations from free data, one map, and what we would look at next.
For: Any explorer, capped at eight a month
One tenement or small package screened end to end: evidence stack, five to ten ranked targets, tenure status and an expenditure-defensible work programme.
For: First engagement, priced below a delegated approval threshold
The flagship. Multi-layer evidence fusion led by government geophysics, blind-validated method, cadastre-clean, every target screened on whether it could ever be mined.
For: Funded explorers about to commit a programme
Whole-belt or multi-tenement study, with historical open-file archive work and a joint public announcement where the client wants one.
For: Better-funded explorers and mid-tiers
Continuous targeting for an active campaign: monthly refresh as new data lands, unlimited in-belt screening, cadastre monitoring on your ground and your neighbours.
For: Explorers running a live programme
The ground-acquisition feed. Which tenements will come open, ranked by the prospectivity of what sits underneath, with competitor movement drawn from our own cadastre archive.
For: Anyone who needs ground, including royalty companies and funds
Independent technical read on a project being offered to you. What does the free public data say that the vendor deck does not, and what are the three reasons to walk away.
For: Funds, royalty companies, family offices, corporate development
A conventional data compilation and targeting study from a tier-one consultancy runs into the tens of thousands before a hole is planned. Published benchmarks put experienced geological consulting at four hundred to fourteen hundred euro a day, project-level reporting at two to eleven thousand euro, and comprehensive evaluations above fifty-five thousand.
The Target Generation Package is six thousand five hundred dollars. That is roughly one-fifth of a single reverse-circulation hole, and it is deliberately below the delegated approval threshold at most small explorers — so the exploration manager can approve it without writing a board paper. That single fact matters more than any value-pricing theory.
That last clause is not administrative. It is how the outcome database gets built, and the outcome database is what eventually lets us publish a calibrated hit rate.
