What GeoVista does
GeoVista AB is an independent Swedish consulting firm headquartered in Luleå, founded in 1992 and operating with 11-50 employees. The company provides specialized professional services across six practice areas: Mineral Exploration (project management, fieldwork, evaluation and reporting under JORC, PERC, and NI 43-101 standards), Mineral Permits (authority liaison, application documents, and portfolio monitoring under the Swedish Minerals Act and Environmental Code), Mineral Resources (resource estimation, feasibility studies, geostatistical analysis, block modeling, and mine planning), Water & Environment (hydrogeological surveys, groundwater exploration, contamination tracking, and remediation planning), Infrastructure & Rock Quality (rock quality estimation, depth-to-bedrock mapping, and geophysical surveys for construction projects), and Geophysical Surveys (wireline-logging, TEM, magnetometry, electric resistivity, IP, refraction seismics, cross-hole seismic, surface wave seismics, Ground Probing Radar, gravimetry, ground conductivity, frequency domain EM, magnetic resonance sounding, self-potential, and geodetic surveys with RTK-GPS).
The underlying technology is a fleet of industry-standard geophysical instruments combined with proprietary survey methodologies and interpretation workflows, plus authorized resale of third-party geological and geophysical modelling software including Datamine (Discover, Discover 3D, Discover for ArcGIS Pro, PA Explorer), Tensor Research ModelVision with AutoMag, QuickDepth, and UBC ModelBuilder modules, Precisely MapInfo Pro, and Intelligent Resources Rayfract. Marine refraction seismic capability is delivered through a strategic partnership with Geomap Norge A/S, extending the firm into offshore exploration. The company emphasizes its independence from equipment manufacturers and drilling companies as a basis for unbiased recommendations.
Revenue is generated through two streams: project-based and retainer professional consulting engagements billed on hours, milestones, and ongoing retainers (primarily sold directly to mining companies, infrastructure developers, government agencies, and environmental organizations), and one-time software license resale plus support. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per project; no public rate cards or fee structures are disclosed. The firm is privately held by its three founding partners (Håkan Mattsson, Johan Morin, Sandra Löfgren) with Gunnar Axheim as Chairman of the Board, operates exclusively within the Nordic region with documented reach into international reporting standards, and markets primarily through its company website, LinkedIn presence, and direct relationship-driven outreach. SKB (Swedish Nuclear Waste Management Company) is the most prominent named reference, where GeoVista served as the main supplier of geophysical services during the most extensive geoscientific project run in Sweden.
