Mapping: a core data resource

Geology is fundamentally a field based science and a geological map forms the basis on which sound exploration decisions are made. We provide advanced field mapping and compilation skills, anchored by modern applied structural analysis, to provide high confidence mapping outcomes.

Structural Geology: a fundamental discipline

Modern integrated approaches to structural analysis involve more than geometry. Outcomes with the highest confidence are derived from a time constrained, iterative, cross scalar approach in which kinematics and context feature prominently.

Effective planning

Formulating the key questions about a project is a necessary prerequisite in project planning, design and management. Renaissance Geology has wide experience in helping stakeholders to refine project design to maximise the potential for discovery.

Welcome to Renaissance Geology

Renaissance Geology is an international consultancy in exploration and structural geology established to support the exploration industry worldwide.

Our company and its associates have been delivering advanced projects to a range of clients in all aspects of exploration geology, all of which are underpinned by an advanced structural geology skill set. We have a broad exploration background and through an intimate understanding the business of exploration this allows us to design and deliver projects that are specifically aimed at supporting your exploration efforts, and ultimately discovery.

We provide exploration driven, in-depth solutions to key questions about the geological, metallogenic and mineralisation environment, as well as the relationship between the geological and mineralising systems evolution at all scales.

Our philosophy is one underpinned by the need for quality observational data, backed up by the application of an advanced understanding of processes. This drives interpretation and provides the high confidence constraints required in an exploration environment.

On this site you will find a range of information and resources relating to our activities. Should you have questions about how we might be able to support you in your exploration efforts, please contact us.

Structural Geology

Philosophy

Exploration success is substantially predicated on the quality of the geological inputs. To achieve this quality requires that interpretations have followed a pathway that includes appropriate discrimination and integration, as well as a multidisciplinary, holistic approach.

 

Structural analysis

We employ an iterative, kinematically based approach to interpretation, in which analysis is time constrained, scale integrated and ‘process’ driven, rather than one that involves static ‘models’, or uses a geometry-only approach. We integrate deformation and allied geological and hydrothermal processes to minimise bias and reduce reliance on fixed models. This provides the most robust pathway for high confidence structural framework construction.

Systems approach

A structural-hydrothermal systems approach recognises the importance of understanding the relationships between source, pathways and trap sites. A particular focus for us is understanding how deformation controls trap site characteristics, their location and evolution. This fundamentally contributes to improving predictive capacity and contributes towards a better definition of the exploration expression of a mineral system at prospect, district and regional scales.

Multidisciplinary

Limiting uncertainty requires appropriate integration of diverse geological and related data sets, but not just as a series of ‘additive’, or ‘static’ layers. To this end we approach all potential input datasets in a dynamic way, critically assessing them for geological veracity and interpretational sustainability before engaging them in an analysis.

Knowledge transfer

We believe that the benefit to the client increases substantially when staff are engaged with us is completing a project. This collaborative environment is therefore encouraged and recommended by us. The client benefits from effective transfer of knowledge, and how to apply it, as well as a sense of enhanced ownership of project outcomes. We also conduct public and in-house Short Courses related to applied structural geology in mineralised settings.

About Us

BMDDenWe at Renaissance Geology recognise that exploration and discovery is fundamentally a creative process, but one that operates within the constraints imposed by knowledge and good scientific practice. In this context we exist to provide mineral explorers with advanced insights, technical skills and experience in the application of geology and modern structural analysis to exploration.

In order to reduce uncertainty, we apply integrated, holistic approaches that acknowledge the implications and fully coupled nature of geological processes, particularly those associated with deformation, hydrothermal fluid flow and deposit formation: that is, a systems approach.

Prediction is a key part of all exploration programs and at Renaissance Geology our observation and data driven philosophy reduces uncertainty, thereby offering clients an enhanced predictive capacity and a sound basis for planning and decision making.

A field focused multidisciplinary approach ensures a truly integrated analysis, reduces interpretational uncertainty and enhances confidence in outcomes.

Through our alliances we can bring over a century of advanced skills and experience in field and data focused modern structural analysis and mapping to exploration. If you think we may be able to help your exploration efforts, please contact us.

 

Global experience

We can draw on a century of field experience covering all parts of the planet. From major regional generative efforts to small focused prospect / project scale projects, we have been active in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Vietnam, China, Uzbekistan, West Africa, East Africa, Europe, Scandinavia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, USA and Canada. Our clients include major global mining houses right through through to small, independent exploration companies with a focus on discovery and growth.

Who We Are

Brett
Brett Davies PhD FGS

Director and Principal

Brett has applied integrated approaches to using structural geology in the business of exploration for more than 27 years. He has completed mapping, targeting and generative projects at deposit, through camp, district to regional scales in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, West Africa, Europe, Scandinavia, central and southeast Asia, USA, Canada and Argentina. Brett has held senior technical staff positions with junior to global mining companies.
