Cost-Effective solution for Mineral Exploration

Exploration data is often recorded and stored in a many formats, including Excel sheets, Access databases, and a variety of mining software databases. This method is not ideal for a geological database, as the data tends to be unstructured, resulting in frequent data loss or oversight and making QAQC difficult. Junior exploration companies with low market capitalistions often cannot afford the cost of proprietary GDBMS, unlike larger companies that can invest in specialised software.

At Libertas offer junior exploration companies a cloud-hosted GDBMS. This allows your company to allocate funds towards exploration activities without the need to purchase GDBMS software. The goal of this arrangement is to provide juniors with a structured and well-managed database, enabling them to transition to their own managed geological database as they achieve success and advance their exploration projects. With this setup, you only pay for web hosting and our time at Libertas with no upfront software costs.
