Satellite and geoscience data over Tanzania, analysed in the Orex platform

About Orex

A Satellite & Geoscience Platform for Mineral Exploration

Orex was built by geologists and technologists to solve a practical problem: exploration decisions are often made on scattered, hard-to-access data. We bring high-resolution satellite imagery together with authoritative geoscience data — geology, structure, geophysics and mineral occurrences — in one place.

On that foundation we add AI-assisted targeting and export-ready reporting. AI is one part of the workflow, not the whole of it: every result is grounded in real geological evidence, so teams across Tanzania and East Africa can decide where to explore with confidence.

Satellite & Remote Sensing

High-resolution imagery and spectral analysis to map surface mineralogy and alteration.

Authoritative Data

Geology, occurrences and licences integrated from trusted sources like GMIS, USGS and BGS.

Structure & Geophysics

Faults, shear zones and lineaments mapped against magnetic and radiometric signatures.

AI-Assisted Targeting

Machine learning that prioritises zones — always grounded in real geological evidence.

Data First, AI Second

We don't ask you to trust a black box. Orex starts with real geological, structural and geophysical evidence — and uses AI only to help prioritise what that evidence already shows.
