Every current mining tenement in the Pilbara — 6,376 of them — mapped from live Western Australian government registries with holder, status, grant date and legal area on every polygon. Click any piece of ground and know who controls it; click a company and see its entire position at once.
The Ground Intelligence view goes a step further and asks the question explorers actually care about: which ground is coming free, and whose is it? Expiring exploration licences are surfaced company by company — most of it five-year exploration ground approaching its statutory limits — turning a registry nobody reads into a prospecting shortlist.
Satellite imagery pairs across the iron ore heartland, 2019 against 2024: pits deepening, waste dumps growing, new disturbance appearing. Change detection makes five years of operational history visible in one view — no site visit, no disclosure required, just what the ground itself records.
The Pilbara's dry, rocky terrain is close to ideal for radar interferometry — the same InSAR pipeline behind our Surat Basin & Southeast Queensland deformation map (11.2 million measurement points, GNSS-validated, every number traceable to its source acquisition). Applied here, it means millimetre-scale movement monitoring over pits, dumps, rail and tailings storage facilities — the assets where ground stability is the licence to operate.
