Our Passion Goes Deep

Subsurface Intelligence You Can Trust

DGI is a leading provider of innovative wireline surveying and geological interpretation services, delivering accurate, high-resolution data that drives better decision-making across the mining, geotechnical, and environmental industries.

Turn Drilling Into Geological Understanding

Every metre drilled should improve your understanding of the deposit. DGI helps geological teams extract more value from their drilling by turning borehole information into a clearer understanding of structures, lithology, alteration and the controls on mineralization.

Build stronger geological models, reduce uncertainty and make better-informed decisions about where to drill next.

  • Strengthen geological and structural models
  • Better understand controls on mineralization
  • Increase confidence in your 3D geological model
  • Get more value from existing and new boreholes
  • Target future drilling with greater confidence

Understand the Ground. Reduce the Risk.

Critical engineering decisions depend on understanding how the rock mass will behave. DGI provides geotechnical teams the structural and rock-mass information they need to design with confidence, identify hazards and reduce uncertainty in the ground conditions that matter most.

Even where core is broken, recovery is poor or no core exists, DGI can help reveal the structures and conditions that may impact ground conditions.

  • Design safer, more reliable pit walls and underground infrastructure
  • Identify structures and conditions that could affect stability
  • Improve confidence in geotechnical and geomechanical models
  • Characterize critical ground where conventional core information is incomplete
  • Make better-informed ground support and engineering decisions

See What the Core Can't Tell You

Your most important geological structures don’t always come out of the ground intact.

DGI’s Digital Oriented Core gives your team a continuous, oriented view of the structures intersecting your boreholes, including intervals where core is broken, recovery is poor, or conventional orientation is unreliable.

The result is a more complete understanding of veins, bedding, foliation, contacts, fault zones, joints, and structural controls, giving your team greater confidence in geological and geotechnical models and the decisions built on them.

  • Capture structure lost through poor or broken core
  • Improve confidence in structural orientation
  • Understand structural controls on mineralization
  • Strengthen geological and geotechnical models
  • Obtain useful structural information from non-core holes
  • Create an auditable structural record that can be revisited as interpretations evolve

See More From Every Borehole

Drilling gives you access to the subsurface. DGI helps you get more value from that access.

Borehole geophysics reveals changes in rock properties, lithology and structure beyond what can be understood from core alone, helping your team build a more complete picture of the subsurface and make better-informed geological and engineering decisions.

  • Get more information from existing and new boreholes
  • Better define geological boundaries and structures
  • Strengthen geological and geotechnical models
  • Combine multiple datasets into a more complete subsurface interpretation
  • Maximize the investment from drilling

Know Where the Water will Go

Groundwater can affect mine design, slope stability, underground development, infrastructure and environmental planning.

DGI helps teams understand where groundwater is stored, how it moves through the rock mass and which structures may control its movement, giving engineers and hydrogeologists better information for planning, design and risk management.

  • Identify the structures and zones controlling groundwater movement
  • Better understand permeability and hydraulic behaviour
  • Improve groundwater and hydrogeological models
  • Support dewatering and water-management decisions
  • Reduce uncertainty in geotechnical and environmental planning
  • Obtain hydrogeological information directly from the drilling program

Turn Subsurface Data Into Better Decisions

Collecting good data is only the beginning. The real value comes from understanding what it means for your project.

DGI’s geoscientists help clients interpret complex subsurface information, investigate unexpected conditions and answer specific geological and engineering questions. From focused technical investigations to integrated interpretation, we help turn information into practical insight your team can act on.

  • Resolve specific geological and engineering uncertainties
  • Integrate multiple datasets into a coherent interpretation
  • Investigate anomalous or unexpected subsurface conditions
  • Access specialist expertise on demand
  • Turn technical observations into information project teams can use
  • Focus investigation on the questions that matter to exploration, geotechnical, hydrogeological and inspections
