xFlare Delivery Model

Our 3-tiered approach covers everything you need to get started:

Services

We work with your team to ensure the proper data leads to the best decision.

Technology

ExploreTech’s cloud-based system performs inversion and drilling optimization.

Web Platform

Visualize exploration targets and drillhole plans with our Viewer platform.

Technology behind xFlare

ExploreTech’s xFlare fits your deposit style to data, then automatically generates optimized drilling campaigns.

Since this process is automated, exploration targets are assessed 100x faster than standard approaches.

xFlare uses AI tools under the hood, but it doesn’t need training data – only your geological expertise.

Step 1: Geophysical Inversion

Our cloud-based probabilistic inversion software automatically creates geological models that match (1) your geological hypothesis and (2) your geophysical data.

Step 2: Drilling Optimization

The inversion results from Step 1 are used to design drilling programs that adhere to your drilling limitations, such as drill pad accessibility and cost constraints.

Step 3: Repeat

xFlare’s speed unlocks the ability to iterate and decide at scale. Assess tens or hundreds of exploration targets to see which ones to prioritize.
