Mapping Natural Resources: Xcalibur’s Advanced Geophysical Solutions.
With solid experience and a track record of exponential growth, Xcalibur Smart Mapping offers a wide range of advanced services and technologies for the exploration and evaluation of mineral, energy and environmental resources. Owning a fleet of more than forty aircraft equipped with geophysical systems, we map countries and lands to identify the properties of the sub- and above-surface, and discover potential areas of natural resources, such as critical minerals, hydrogen, or geothermal.
Our multidisciplinary and highly qualified team of experts employs cutting-edge technologies, including gravimetry, magnetometry or radiometry, to interpret this smart data and generate detailed reports and accurate recommendations.
At Xcalibur Smart Mapping we believe in excellence, innovation, collaboration, safety, integrity, respect and sustainable development.
We strive to promote responsible practices in the assessment and mapping of natural capital, as we believe it is fundamental to a more inclusive global economy.
We work closely with governments and companies in the sector to promote optimal management of natural resources, contributing to the development of policies and strategies based on scientific data and comprehensive perspectives. In this way, we contribute to providing cutting-edge solutions that drive the growth and prosperity of our customers and partners around the world.
