Open ground
49.1%
of 570,000 km² assessed carries no live title. Protected areas are not yet subtracted in every jurisdiction here, so the figure is optimistic. A dated snapshot: a pegging decision needs a live register query on the day.
What we can do here
Five capabilities, in Botswana.
Atlas
Country atlas built, with provenance on every layer.
AvailableOpen Ground
Computed across 1 jurisdiction, optimistic where protected areas are not yet subtracted.
Global modelProspectivity
The global model, for 44 minerals: the map, the geology behind it and a confidence read.
AvailableSpectral
Every satellite acquisition over the ground is searched; hyperspectral where it exists.
