Choose the right technical pathway
Understand whether your project needs screening, mapping, target generation, field verification, lab integration, or a staged campaign.
Services
Exploration services from satellite screening to field-ready target decisions.
Xidar connects satellite remote sensing, GIS, structural interpretation, prospectivity modelling, field verification, sample governance, lab integration, and decision-grade reporting into one practical exploration workflow.

The Xidar Service Architecture
Six connected service bands across one exploration decision pipeline.
Xidar structures service delivery around the decisions exploration teams need to make: where to look, what to test, how to validate, and what deserves the next technical commitment.
Service 1
Desktop GIS & Spectral Remote Sensing
- What it does
- Screens licence areas using satellite imagery, terrain models, alteration proxies, lithological context, and available geological information.
- Typical inputs
- Sentinel-2, ASTER, Landsat, DEMs, licence boundaries, regional geology, client datasets, and legacy reports where available.
- Outputs
- False-colour composites, alteration context, terrain views, early-priority zones, screening maps, and GIS layers.
- Decision supported
- Which areas deserve closer technical review?
- Validation note
- Spectral proxies require geological interpretation and field validation before operational or investment decisions.
Service 2
Prospectivity Modelling & Target Ranking
- What it does
- Combines spectral, structural, geological, terrain, and contextual evidence into ranked priority zones.
- Typical inputs
- Remote sensing layers, lineaments, geological context, terrain constraints, historical data, and project objectives.
- Outputs
- Prospectivity maps, ranking logic, target tables, priority zones, and target rationale.
- Decision supported
- Where should exploration teams focus first?
- Validation note
- Ranking supports prioritisation; it does not replace field verification.
Service 3
Field Verification & Structural Mapping
- What it does
- Translates desktop interpretation into field-checking priorities, structural mapping routes, observation logic, and ground-truth planning.
- Typical inputs
- Ranked targets, structural hypotheses, route plans, satellite evidence, access constraints, and field objectives.
- Outputs
- Field checklists, structural observations, mapped evidence, validation notes, and updated target logic.
- Decision supported
- Which desktop targets remain credible after field review?
- Validation note
- Field observations should be documented consistently and linked back to the evidence model.
Service 4
Sampling Systems & QA/QC Governance
- What it does
- Structures sample collection, logging, chain-of-custody thinking, QA/QC planning, and evidence traceability.
- Typical inputs
- Field targets, sample plans, station records, sample metadata, QA/QC requirements, and field observations.
- Outputs
- Sample registers, custody logic, QA/QC framework, sample documentation, and evidence-control notes.
- Decision supported
- Can the sample evidence be trusted, traced, and interpreted responsibly?
- Validation note
- Formal sampling procedures should be adapted to project stage, jurisdiction, commodity, and technical requirements.
Service 5
Laboratory Integration
- What it does
- Connects field samples and observations with assay workflows, lab submissions, result review, and technical interpretation.
- Typical inputs
- Sample registers, lab submissions, assay results, QA/QC records, geological observations, and target models.
- Outputs
- Assay summaries, integrated interpretation notes, anomaly review, evidence updates, and reporting inputs.
- Decision supported
- How do lab results change the target model?
- Validation note
- Assay interpretation should consider QA/QC results, sample representativeness, and geological context.
Service 6
Technical Reporting, Target Refinement & Drill Support
- What it does
- Packages evidence into practical next-stage target concepts, reporting products, coordinate tables, and drill-support context.
- Typical inputs
- Ranked targets, field observations, structural interpretation, assay integration, GIS layers, and client objectives.
- Outputs
- Target cards, coordinate tables, recommendation packs, technical summaries, map figures, and drill-support rationale.
- Decision supported
- Which targets justify additional technical work or next-stage exploration?
- Validation note
- Drill concepts require qualified technical review and project-specific geological validation.
Service Packages & Tailored Engagement
Five commercial tiers, from rapid screening to end-to-end exploration intelligence.
Pricing is calculated by 5 km² billing blocks unless a package states otherwise. Areas are normally rounded up to the next full block unless a custom scope, programme rate, or discount is agreed.
Tier 1
The Screener
Rapid Viability Check
$750 / 5 km² block
2-3 business days
Best for: Early claim assessment, rapid go/no-go decisions, and first-pass screening.
Outputs: Screening summary, overview map, annotated imagery snapshots, and short recommendation note.
Tier 2
The Mapper
Structural Analysis
$2,750 / 5 km² block
5-7 business days
Best for: Geological interpretation, structural mapping, and moving beyond basic screening.
Outputs: Structural report, interpreted maps, target context, and field guidance notes.
Tier 3
The Targeter
Prospectivity Targeting
$6,500 / 5 km² block
7-12 business days
Best for: Ranked targets with clearer prospectivity rationale and drill-planning support context.
Outputs: Ranked target list, coordinates, prospectivity maps, target explanation notes, and technical package.
Tier 4
The Strategist
Prospect Ranking Suite
$12,500 / 10 km² program
12-18 business days
Best for: Investment-ready prioritisation, multi-target programmes, planning field campaigns, and higher-level decision support.
Outputs: Executive briefing deck, ranking matrix, strategy summary, priority map set, and field-planning recommendations.
Tier 5
The Enterprise
End-to-End Exploration Intelligence
From $25,000 / project
Scope-dependent tailored proposal
Best for: Large or recurring programmes, multi-area screening, repeat monitoring, and custom intelligence support.
Outputs: Custom analytical reports, interactive maps and visualisations, curated data packages, recurring monitoring outputs, and executive-ready summaries.

Field-to-Lab Continuity
Evidence should stay traceable after the map.
A service package should not stop at a map. Xidar's workflow is designed to keep evidence traceable from desktop interpretation through field verification, sample governance, lab integration, and reporting.

How engagement works
A staged scope process for practical exploration decisions.
The service pathway can be fast and narrow or staged across desktop, field, sample, lab, and reporting work.
Submit area of interest
Upload or describe the licence boundary, coordinates, commodity, project stage, and available data.
Confirm technical scope
Xidar reviews the project context and recommends the right tier, staged campaign, or custom pathway.
Run the exploration workflow
The team applies satellite screening, interpretation, modelling, validation planning, or field/lab integration depending on scope.
Receive decision-ready outputs
Outputs are delivered as maps, GIS layers, target cards, technical summaries, and next-step recommendations.
