What GEOSIGHT CONSULTING CANADA INC. does

Geosight Consulting Canada Inc. (operating under corporate entity Geosight T Group Limited) is a private Canadian-Australian firm that designs and manufactures specialized 3D laser scanning systems for underground mining cavities and boreholes. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Calgary with manufacturing in Australia, the company sells four core scanning products: the NX-150 cavity monitoring system (the original solid-state LIDAR CMS), the GSM-16 borehole scanner capable of imaging voids through drillholes up to 350–400m deep, the Scout borehole deviation tool using a patented closed-loop gyroscope method, and the Exyn Nexys autonomous LiDAR mapping system sourced from a technology partnership with Exyn Technologies. Differentiated technical features include the only solid-state LIDAR-based CMS in the industry, real-time LIDAR/video during deployment, and the patented base station azimuth orientation method that maintains accuracy in magnetically compromised environments without GPS or magnetic correction.

The company's revenue model is predominantly hardware sales of scanners and accessories (winch, buggy, boom, eRodder rod pusher), supplemented by training and field service. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales led by a Worldwide Sales Manager and a Canada Sales Manager, augmented by eight named regional channel partners across Australia, South America, Russia, South Africa, Turkey and Asia; a Leica Geosystems partnership anchors South African distribution. Customer base is concentrated in mid-to-large underground mining operators (Equinox Gold, Northern Star Resources, Hecla Mining, Teck Resources, Dundee Precious Metals, Rupert Resources, McCreedy West Mine) using the scanners for blind stope surveying, cavity monitoring, and borehole deviation measurement to improve safety, reduce dilution, and calculate backfill volumes. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (Certificate CAN1867) and a patent on the base station azimuth orientation method; it has no disclosed institutional funding, runs with 1–10 employees, and reports scanner deployments across six continents with 95% of all units ever built still in operation.

Products and services

• NX-150 CMS The original and most robust cavity monitoring system in underground mining, performing 3D laser mapping of voids, shafts, stopes, and ore passes. It is rugged, remotely operated, and completely cable-free, enabling scanning of inaccessible cavities without sending operators into dangerous areas.
• GSM-16 Borehole Scanner Borehole cavity monitoring system designed to scan previously inaccessible voids in underground mines and civilian sewer systems. Features real-time LiDAR and video capability, a 65mm diameter housing that fits NQ/HQ drill holes or any 3-inch borehole, and deployment up to 900m depth.
• Exyn Nexys Autonomous LiDAR Mapping Fully modular 3D mapping ecosystem featuring survey-grade LiDAR with proprietary SLAM algorithms, delivering up to 1.9 million scan points per second at 5mm @ 1 sigma accuracy, real-time colorization, on-premise post-processing, and instant onsite visualization. Built to IP67 standards.
• Scout Borehole Deviation Measurement System Precision borehole deviation measurement system using a closed-loop survey method with multiple MEMS gyroscopes. Maintains azimuth orientation without magnetic correction and can measure a 30m hole in under 5 minutes. Compatible with AQ to CHD 134 drill holes and 2 to 6 inch boreholes.
• GSM-16 with Winch Accessory Motorized winch accessory for the GSM-16 CMS that extends the scanner's reach into more remote cavities, enabling extreme depth scans up to 400m.
• NX-150 with Buggy System Accessory Buggy system accessory for the NX-150 that enhances maneuverability and ease of operation for 3D laser mapping of underground voids, shafts, stopes, and ore passes.
• NX-150 with Boom System Accessory Custom-designed extendable boom accessory for the NX-150 LiDAR scanner, built with a rugged exterior to withstand harsh mining conditions and extend the scanner's reach for 3D mapping of voids and shafts.
• eRodder Electric Rod Pusher Electric rod pusher used to push scanners through drill holes, assisting with deployment in challenging conditions such as rusty or angled boreholes.
