What Mira Geoscience does

Mira Geoscience is a private Canadian geoscience software company founded in 1999, headquartered in Vancouver, with 51–100 employees. The company develops proprietary software—anchored by Geoscience ANALYST Pro Geophysics—for processing, interpreting, modelling, and visualizing subsurface geophysical data used in mineral exploration, resource estimation, and mine planning. Its platform supports multiple geophysical methods, integrates with cloud computing, and embeds open-source inversion codes to allow flexible, customizable workflows, and now includes an AI-Guided Interpretation Tool for automated analysis. In January 2026 the company acquired HiveMap from SRK Consulting, adding a geological and geotechnical field-mapping platform that integrates photogrammetry, LiDAR, and spatial datasets, extending the offering from office-based interpretation into collaborative field data collection.

The company's primary customer segment is mining and minerals exploration, with secondary use cases in oil & gas exploration and environmental/groundwater assessment. Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based licensing of the Geoscience ANALYST platform with membership benefits, supplemented by consulting services. The company operates a direct enterprise sales motion alongside self-serve subscription licensing, and runs an event-driven go-to-market anchored at major mining conferences (PDAC 2026, AME Roundup 2026), combined with community-led content such as customer case studies and Q&A featuring technical users. Named customers in the public data are limited to a single mid-market geophysical services firm (Geofocus) active in Africa, alongside broader implicit adoption by mining and exploration teams globally.

The sole disclosed capital event is a 2021 grant of approximately USD 379,304 from the Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator; no venture funding, revenue, or valuation figures are publicly available. The company is founder-led by John McGaughey, who serves as founder and president.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• SRK ConsultingcoreTechnology or Integration · 21 January 2026SRK Consulting, a leading international mining consultancy based in Vancouver, Canada, developed and sold HiveMap — a geological and geotechnical field-mapping platform — to Mira Geoscience. HiveMap integrates with photogrammetry, LiDAR, and spatial datasets. Under Mira Geoscience's ownership, HiveMap benefits from expanded development resources, new integration opportunities, and broader global reach within Mira Geoscience's established portfolio of multidisciplinary geoscience technologies. This is a technology acquisition and integration partnership.

Direct peers

• Maptek: Maptek (Vulcan) is a direct competitor offering 3D mine planning, geological modelling, and resource estimation software for the global mining industry. Both serve mining and exploration customers with subscription-based geological and geophysical workflow tools.
• Seequent: Seequent (Leapfrog) is the closest direct competitor in 3D geological modelling and visualization software for the mining and exploration industry. Both companies target geologists and exploration teams with multi-method subsurface interpretation platforms and compete for similar mining and environmental accounts.
• Micromine: Micromine provides geological modelling, resource estimation, and mine planning software for the mining industry, with similar customer overlap to Mira Geoscience. Both compete for mid-market and enterprise mining customers seeking 3D subsurface visualization and interpretation.

Broad incumbents

• CGG (Viridien): Viridien (formerly CGG) is a global geoscience heavyweight offering seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation software. It is a broad incumbent operating across oil & gas and minerals with substantially greater scale and R&D resources than Mira.
• SLB (Schlumberger): SLB's Petrel platform is a broad incumbent in geoscience interpretation and reservoir characterization, primarily serving oil & gas but increasingly mining. Its significantly larger R&D budget and global sales reach make it a formidable competitive threat, particularly in oil & gas exploration accounts Mira also targets.
• Dassault Systèmes (GEOVIA): Dassault's GEOVIA division offers mine planning, geological modelling, and resource estimation software as part of its broader 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It is a broad incumbent that competes with Mira on geological modelling and exploration workflows for mining customers.
• Bentley Systems: Bentley Systems provides infrastructure engineering software with growing mining sector exposure through subsurface and asset modelling capabilities. Its OpenGround and geotechnical tools overlap with the HiveMap field-mapping platform acquired by Mira.
• Emerson (Paradigm): Emerson's Paradigm division offers E&P software for seismic interpretation, reservoir characterization, and subsurface modelling. It overlaps with Mira's oil & gas exploration and broader multi-method geophysical interpretation capabilities.

Others

• SRK Consulting: SRK Consulting is the seller of HiveMap and a leading international mining consultancy. While primarily a consulting firm rather than software vendor, it represents a partnership/customer relationship and an industry distribution channel for Mira Geoscience.

Emerging players

• Aranz Geo (now part of Seequent): Aranz Geo developed 3D geological modelling tools (Leapfrog Geo) that are now part of Seequent. The product category directly overlaps with Mira's Geoscience ANALYST platform for 3D subsurface visualization and interpretation in mining and exploration.
