Rock Mapper is an easy-to-use app for paperless geological and geotechnical mapping and grade control. It allows for rapid acquisition of georeferenced rock face photographs as well as 3D LiDAR scans.

Data is collected and processed directly on an iPad Pro while at the rock face. With a simple press of a button, data can be shared via the Rock Mapper Cloud and is instantly accessible from anywhere in the world. Compared to traditional, paper-based workflows that require manual transcription and digitisation later in the office, Rock Mapper’s standardised and fully digital workflow are able to drastically reduce turnaround times, while simultaneously enhancing data quality and consistency. Most importantly, all collected rock face data are compatible with 3rd-party 3D modelling software packages (such as Leapfrog, Vulcan, Surpac, Micromine, Datamine, Deswik) and grade-control databases (such as acQuire, EarthSQL Quest, MX Deposit).

Rock Mapper has gained widespread adoption amongst mining and tunnelling companies globally. Affordable and fair subscription pricing make it an excellent choice for operations of any size. To experience Rock Mapper, download the Rock Mapper app for free from the Apple App Store (iPad Pro recommended)

Tect contributes to the compilation and annual presentation of three modules and case studies: Surface Mapping Techniques for Structural Geology, Folding in the Mining Environment and Apparent Dip Analysis

This initiative is the culmination of over six years of research and collation of data and metadata on published African geology by experienced Geoscientists. GeoPoint has a particular focus on structural geology, tectonics, mineralogy and geochronology but also includes the fields of geochemistry, volcanology, geophysics and stratigraphy. It is an interactive, geological database which gives users access to public-domain spatial data and mineral occurrences throughout Africa. The database, populated from georeferenced maps in peer-reviewed journal articles and technical reports, prescribed by the SAMVAL, NI43-101 and JORC codes, contains more than 10 000 features from over 2000 sources. It is fully-catalogued and includes:

  • Locations and outlines of geological maps
  • Locations of cross-sections
    Mineral occurrences
  • Geochronological/dating information


GeoPoint integrates with your project-specific ArcGIS data, via an ArcServer platform, thereby streamlining geospatial research for African exploration and mining companies, academics and financial institutions. Customised, detailed reports on specific areas can be compiled out of the GeoPoint database for clients, including financial institutions, who don’t require their own access to the database.

Affordable drone-based imaging and mapping solutions, customized to suit your business requirements. Currently, its main products are:

  • High-resolution colour orthomosaic images
  • High-resolution thermal or multispectral imaging images
  • NDVI images
  • 2D and 3D maps and terrain modelling, including contouring, drainage mapping, surface aspect and roughness

We handle all aspects of the survey program, from scoping, through data processing and final product delivery.
