What Steiger Geoscience and Engineering does

Steiger Geoscience and Engineering is a Hyderabad-based Indian subsidiary of Engineering Bureau Steiger, an Estonian mineral exploration services provider founded in 2004. Established in India in 2020, the firm delivers end-to-end mineral exploration services to mining companies, government mineral departments, and steel manufacturers across India, Europe, the Near East, and South America. Its service portfolio spans four pillars: geophysical services (legacy data assessment, remote sensing, ground surveys including seismic, gravimetric, resistivity, magnetic, EM, and ground-penetrating radar, drone surveys using magnetic, LIDAR, and photogrammetric methods, and downhole surveys), mineral exploration services (planning, QA/QC, geological and geochemical mapping, laboratory supervision, core logging, drilling supervision, and resource estimation), topo and mine survey services (DGPS, DEM modeling, volumetric calculations), and other professional services (hydrogeology, environmental studies, mining engineering, ESG reporting, and training).

The company operates a fee-for-service professional services model, with each exploration project custom-scoped and quoted based on duration, location, and technical requirements. Projects are delivered directly by an in-house team of geophysicists, geologists, and technicians, including a Development Manager seconded from the Estonian parent. The firm holds NABET accreditation as a Government Notified Private Exploring Agency in India, along with ISO 9001, 14001, and 27001 certifications, positioning it to bid on Indian government tenders and serve enterprise clients requiring accredited exploration providers. Its customer base includes Vedanta, Hindustan Zinc, ArcelorMittal, JSW Steel, TATA, HINDALCO, Jindal Stainless, AM/NS India, Deccan Gold, the Geological Survey of India, Ministry of Mines, and multiple state mining and mineral development corporations. The firm employs 17 people and is privately held under its Estonian parent with no external institutional investment disclosed.

Core offering

Steiger Geoscience and Engineering provides professional mineral exploration services for the extractive industry, delivering geophysical surveys (ground, drone and downhole), end-to-end mineral exploration programs, topographic and mine surveying, and ancillary consulting such as hydrogeology, ESG and capacity building. Services are executed as contracted field programs for mining companies and government mineral departments, applying European exploration and safety standards and culminating in Competent-Person-signed resource estimates and 3D deposit models.

Product overview

Steiger Geoscience and Engineering is a mineral exploration services provider offering a comprehensive suite of integrated services for the extractive industry. The company operates as a services organization rather than a software product company, providing four main service pillars: Geophysical Services (covering remote sensing, ground surveys, drone surveys, and downhole surveys with data interpretation), Mineral Exploration Services (spanning planning, QA/QC, mapping, drilling supervision, and resource estimation), Topo and Mine Survey Services (DGPS surveys, DEM generation, and volumetric calculations), and Other Professional Services (hydrogeological, environmental, engineering, ESG reporting, and training). These services are delivered as consulting engagements with European standards in exploration and safety.
