GEOPHYSICAL SERVICES
At Orbitwaves, we recognize the fact that most geochemical and geological program
will provide very detail information about the subsurface but on a very small scale and
in some cases, such as drill hole, on a specific location. On the contrary, a well-
designed geophysical program can provide critical information about the subsurface
continuously over a wide range of land at an amount that is always lower than other
exploration techniques. Geophysical survey therefore represents a very strong and cost
effective tool for quickly eliminating non-prospective part of a property and for
generating exploration targets.
Orbitwaves boast of geophysical crews that are highly experience in a wide range of
geophysical techniques that are applicable to various mineral commodities, terrain and
geology. Our geophysical team diligently works with our clients to analyze the survey
objectives, technically consider all the variable parameters and take advantage of their
wealth of experience to suggest the most suitable method from the wide range of
geophysical techniques.

the best services in geophysical survey. Our specialty covers airborne and ground
survey including drill/boreholes. Our frequently used methods include Electromagnetic
Method, Potential Fields, Electrical Methods, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR),
Borehole Geophysics, Airborne Geophysics and Seismic survey.
We leverage on our wealth of experience in all aspect of geosciences, including
geophysics, geology and geochemistry, to integrate geophysical data with geological,
geochemical, borehole, hydrogeological and any other available data and build a robust
database and compilation that can be analyzed in many perspectives.
Our geophysical consulting services cover a wide range of disciplines. We have worked
for private companies, publicly traded companies and government establishments on
projects that spread across mineral exploration and mining, oil & gas exploration, civil
engineering and environmental services, groundwater exploration and investigation,
aggregate exploration and geotechnical engineering investigations. We have consulted
beyond the shores of Canada to Asia, Africa, South America and Australia. Our
services include design and management of geophysical surveys of all sizes, quality

GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES
The importance of assessing the engineering properties of a site
before embarking on any constructions work cannot be over-
emphasized. Since the properties of soil, bedrock and
distribution of geological structures in an area determine the
overall engineering properties, geotechnical investigations are
required to gain understanding of the suitability of any property
for a proposed construction work.
At Orbitwaves, we provide the best geotechnical services and
site assessment in the determination of ground conditions,
underlying geology and hydrology using a wide range of
methods. Our geotechnical work flow typically begin with a
background review of the geologic nature of the construction
site and usually followed by specifically designed subsurface
investigation program to characterize and partition the
subsurface materials and geologic structure.
We utilize various types of excavation equipments such as backhoes, drill rigs and hand operated equipment for test
pits, trenching, borings and drilling to reach our targets and to collect samples and data. In addition to field data,
samples are subjected to both routine and customize laboratory analysis and tests in order to determine their physical
and engineering properties.
Our scope of work also covers site investigations for risk assessment to humans, properties and environment. We have
the expertise to determine the possibility of occurrence of natural disasters such as ground failures including landslides,
sinkholes, karsts, soil liquefaction, debris flows and rock falls. Our site investigation include assessment of situations
and activities at a site to determine whether they presently, or may potentially constitute source of environmental
contamination. In the event a potential source of contamination is discovered, we evaluate and accurately predict the
likely area that may be affected and recommend preventive measures.
Depending on the type of construction project, Orbitwaves geotechnical team possesses the technical knowhow to
design assessment program specific for the varying civil requirements of projects and structure.
Upon completion of site
assessments, geotechnical reports are
prepared by qualify geotechnical
staff to present field and laboratory
data. Analysis, interpretations,
conclusions and recommendations
are also presented in the report to

GIS AND DATABASE MANAGEMENT
GIS also provides the platform for managing mineral titles, land records, and associated information. GIS enables accurate
plotting of land and mineral title data from corporate or government sources. It also provides digital access to properties
for their occupancy status, visualization of competitor activity and potential stakeholder conflicts as well as tracking of
regulations and obligations on active leases. GIS is extensively used to actively monitor the environmental impacts that
may be caused by human activities. Geologists have used GIS for environmental and geotechnical investigation and to
analyze and map soils, vegetation, surface hydrology and groundwater.
At Orbitwaves, we usually begin every project by carrying out a thorough review of previous work including digitizing
historic data such as hand-written drilling program, hard-copy soil grids, mapping and sampling program. All information
are transformed to digital files and integrated with current data including geological, geophysical and geochemical data to
build a digital compilation and a query-able exploration database for the purpose of analysis, interpretation and
development of exploration guidelines
As mineral deposits become increasingly difficult to
find, so the need for quality data and ability to
optimize them become increasingly indispensable.
Mineral exploration geoscientists use diverse types of
datasets, ranging from basic geological data to
hyperspectral airborne and multispectral satellite
imagery, to search for mineral deposits. Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) provide a sophisticated
toolset for integrating, analyzing and displaying
technical data. The possibility of integrating
geospatial data and exploration techniques has helped
geoscientists to understand and predict mineral
prospectivity, develop exploration guidelines and to
determine economic potentials with unprecedented
accuracy.
Mining companies use GIS to analyze mine data for
engineering design and production management,
visualization of models in 2D or 3D, generate reports
and maps on site and update corporate database.
Our GIS team consists of experience
professionals have the skills and
knowledge for setting up, validating
and developing query-able databases
as well as organized workflows to
create cutting-edge exploration
strategies. We effectively designed
databases to organize information
such that it may be analyzed as a
whole or partition into discrete layers
or parts in order to assess a larger
picture or target specific items of
interest within the database.
We custom build databases to suit the
peculiar need of operations in various
geosciences projects. Our experience
professionals compile, verify and
manage large quantities of existing
data into a highly useful database
format.
