We are proud to have direct experience and world class expertise in running all aspects of exploration from green fields projects in remote locations to advanced brown field projects on established mine sites. This include data compilations & reviews, target generation, program design and planning, budgeting, drill supervision, logistics, project management and implementation The staff is capable of delivering the highest level of technical expertise, no matter what commodity or skill you require. We assist clients worldwide.
Our Geologists have strong experience dealing with different geological aspects of ore body formation, exploration strategy, prospect development, geochemistry, geophysics, remote sensing, GIS, field mapping, sampling and structural analysis. we ensuring that all exploration work is undertaken and completed in compliance with international reporting codes such as JORC, NI 43-101 and PERC.
Nautilus Exploration team uses a number of key platforms and software's to ensure data is easily accessible.
These platforms include Leapfrog, MicroMine, Vulcan, Datamine, Surpac, Global Mapper, MapInfo and QGIS, as well as other software systems.

The exploration services we provide include:
FIELD MAPPING
One of the most critical ingredients in the success of any exploration and mining project. Many different types of mapping carried out by Nautilus team such as lithological mapping which can identify different rock types and tie these to economically prospective areas, Regolith mapping which is very useful to compile geochemical data into perspective, also alteration and structural mapping which are critical factors to identify different important types of deposits and led to understand the deposition concept. Nautilus team deliver high quality geological maps which can be used in prospective models and this will help in generate drill targets and build a 3D resource model. Nautilus Geology team always use all the modern tools and mapping techniques to be able to deliver maps in any layered GIS digital format or as printed hard copies.
SAMPLING PROGRAM
Another critical step during any exploration project; Sampling program must be carefully designed to minimize the biased, unrepresentative and contaminated samples for any type of samples during the project life (grab, trenches, RC, Soil and DD). Align with the QAQC procedure for any sampling program should increase the effectiveness of sampling program and also will increase the Geological level of confidence which led to an accurate resource estimates. Or exploration geologists are very experienced in designing, managing and auditing any samples collection program from the early stage of exploration till the mine closure through different types of sampling collecting (Drill Samples, Face Samples, Plant Samples, XRF Samples, Outcrop Samples, trenching samples and soil samples).TARGET GENERATION
Our main goal to generate targets is to understand the orebody formation mechanism and its relationships with the regional tectonic events. Nautilus Geology team has a strong background to generate targets whether the project has no any historical exploration activities by compiling remote sensing, large scale geophysical data and large scale geological maps or with project with few geological data so they can build up on it and generate ranking targets align with available budget of the client.PROJECT PLANNING
It is all about understanding the logistical conditions to can capture your needs and always make a balance between available budget, available times and planned outcomes. Nautilus planning team has a good experience in designing, costing and supporting the exploration program through preparing staff accommodations, transportation, communication, medical care, organize logistical needs and security. We also relies on keeping in touch with clients by ensuring validate all data, QAQC, sampling, drilling and safety reporting and also track the budget in a weekly basis to make sure that as a client you are always up to dateREMOTE SENSING & GIS
We are specialized in remote sensing data collecting, interpretation and producing a final product target for initial exploration stage. Our experts are very familiar dealing with different data sets, scanning and digitizing different types of map data, tabular and text data input, compilation and refining many different data sources into a single data product, and processing of data using GIS techniques and geological software.
GEOCHEMISTRY
In Nautilus, we understand the importance of the Geochemical studies to identify the potential targets of mineralization by choosing the appropriate geochemical sampling method such as soil and stream sediment sampling also by using different analysis devices such as (ICP-MS), (XRF) or (AAS). Our experts are familiar with analyzing the Geochem results producing univariant and multivariant statistics which led to identify signatures, targets and extension of known mineralization.GEOPHYSICS
As a major principal in Nautilus to relies with the modern technology, Nautilus Geophysists and Geophysics partners are very aware of the Geophysics techniques in the mining industry. Our experts are familiar compile and interpretation of different types of Geophysics data such as aeromagnetic and gravity to produce a 3D model of the deposit.
STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY
It is always about “Structure Control”, we believe in Nautilus that most of deposits all over the world are “Structurally Controlled”, so it is a very important integration in the initial Exploration phase to understand the factors controlling the mineralization in which the most important one is “Structure”. Our professionals are aware of the importance the study of structure (small scale and large scale) which led to understand the Geometry of the ore body.PETROGRAPHIC STUDIOS
One of the most recent services that provided by Nautilus is the “Petrography” of samples. This service include Lithological, Alteration and Ore Minerals identification, Paragenetic and textural relationships, Transmitted and reflected light petrography, scanning electron microscopy and electron microscope analysis, Fluid inclusions Studies. Our professionals in Nautilus are able to produce a comprehensive petrography report which can be used in JORC, NI 43-101 and PERC reports.
