Frequently asked questions

• What is Geoanalytics?

  Geoanalytics combines geoscience expertise with AI, machine learning and data science to help mining and exploration teams make better decisions from geological and spatial data. It turns complex datasets into practical insights that support targeting, modelling and operational decision-making.

• What problems does Geoanalytics help solve?

  Geoanalytics helps teams make better use of complex or underused data. This includes integrating disconnected datasets, improving target generation, supporting geological interpretation, reducing uncertainty and helping teams make faster, more informed decisions.

• Who is Geoanalytics for?

  Geoanalytics is designed for mining and exploration companies working across the mining lifecycle, from early-stage exploration to development and mining. It supports teams that need clearer insight from geological, geochemical, geophysical, drillhole and operational data.

• What consulting services does ALS offer through Geoanalytics?

  Geoanalytics consulting services are organised around three stages: early-stage exploration, advanced-stage exploration, and development and mining. Services include prospectivity analysis, data integration, geological interpretation, predictive geometallurgy, downhole data domaining and specialist consulting support.

• How do I know which service stage is right for my project?

  The right stage depends on your project maturity and the type of data available. Early-stage exploration is suited to large or underexplored areas with limited data. Advanced-stage exploration supports projects with more drilling and integrated datasets. Development and mining is designed for operations focused on orebody understanding, mine planning and processing decisions.

• What software products are included in Geoanalytics?

  Geoanalytics includes three core software products: SmartSuite™, LithoLens™ and GeoticLog™. These tools support workflows such as prospectivity mapping, lithology prediction, core image analysis, geological logging and drillhole data management.

• What is SmartSuite™ used for?

  SmartSuite™ is a machine learning platform for mineral exploration. It helps teams detect patterns in complex datasets, predict lithology and generate prospectivity maps to support target generation, resource definition and geological modelling.

• What is LithoLens™ used for?

  LithoLens™ helps teams extract more value from core photos. It organises and analyses core imagery, supports more consistent interpretation and helps turn historical and current core photography into structured geological insight.

• What is GeoticLog™ used for?

  GeoticLog™ is a geological logging and data management platform that centralises drillhole data and streamlines field-to-office workflows. It helps teams improve consistency, reduce manual handling and make data easier to access and use.

• How does ALS combine consulting and software?

  ALS combines consulting expertise and software tools to create connected workflows across the mining lifecycle. Clients can work with the consulting team, use software products, or combine both depending on project needs, data maturity and internal capability.
