Spatial data for mineral exploration
Geoscience data, in a shape people can actually use.
MetaGeo builds the unglamorous infrastructure that exploration runs on — databases that hold their coordinates, field tools that work without signal, and maps that open correctly on someone else's machine.
What I do
Four things, done properly
Exploration data infrastructure
PostgreSQL and PostGIS builds, logging schemas, coordinate and datum repair, and migrations off shared drives into something that holds up under audit.
Field tools
Offline-first, single-file HTML tools that run on whatever device is in the vehicle. Cut sheets, XRF compositing, downhole survey QA, mag sus visualisation, pre-start checks.
QGIS and spatial systems
Project setup, symbol libraries, plugin development, and map production that survives being opened on somebody else's machine.
Data audits and cataloguing
Working out what you actually have, what is duplicated, what is wrong, and what it would take to fix it.

The Core Shack, at the GSNSW booth
MetaGeo sponsors the Core Shack at Mines and Wines 2026. Five deposits, five trays, and a grade guessing competition run blind. Each tray carries a card with a QR code that lands here — geological context, an interactive drillhole viewer, and no assays until the prizes are handed out.
