A Simple 5-Step Process Called The TerraCore Method
Adopting new technology can be intimidating. However, with over a decade of experience TerraCore has a team of geospectral experts, who simplify the process through our five-step approach:
Step 1: High-Resolution Hyperspectral Imaging
Tired of guessing at what small white minerals are in your core or relying on incomplete data? Our hyperspectral systems capture high-resolution imagery of your core, giving you a detailed digital record of every depth-registered inch.
But we don’t stop there. We’ll deploy our mobile systems to your site, so you don’t have to worry about the hassle and risk of transporting your core. And with our industry-best imaging speeds, we’ll image your core at the place of preparation so you can focus on your day-to-day business. Since all projects ensure an experienced TerraCore operator or QA Team on hand, you can be sure your data will be collected consistently and of the highest quality.
The result? A high-definition blueprint of your geological masterpiece, ready for in-depth analysis and interpretation.


Step 2: Data Analysis
Frustrated with the inaccuracies of traditional methods that only scratch the surface? Our hyperspectral imaging goes beyond what is visible. Unveil detailed mineralogy, geological relationships and textures that reveal a wealth of hidden information.
We use expert systems, machine learning, AI, and loads of spectral experience to make sure you don’t miss those small white minerals. When many minerals look the same to the geologist’s eye we can extract insights from your data, giving you a deeper understanding of your core than ever before.
Empower your team with a powerful tool for making informed decisions and maximizing your project’s potential.
Step 3: Data Validation and Presentation
Our hyperspectral images provide repeatable, reliable measurements you can trust. No more guesswork, no more inconsistencies—just accurate, objective data you can confidently lean on to make informed decisions.
Data is presented in TerraCore’s powerful spectral viewing application, IntelliCore®. IntelliCore® allows you to simply zoom in on high-resolution core photos and downhole spectral mineralogy or dig deep into a wide range of spectral products that allow you to look for spectral markers, trends, or changes. Add third-party geochemistry to further investigate the project and use friendly tools to collaborate with co-workers or export to other software.
With TerraCore’s expertise in spectral geology, you can rest assured that the data outputs are tailored to inform your specific project goals.
Make decisions with confidence, knowing you have the most reliable data on hand backed by a strong team of experts available to assist you.
Combine that with our world-class acquisition rates and IntelliCore® is ready when you are!

Step 4: Workflow Integration
At TerraCore, our goal is to deliver meaningful results that drive your projects forward. While spectral mineralogy data will add value to your project, we understand that integrating new processes and large datasets into existing workflows can be challenging. That’s why our spectral geologists work closely with you to create custom spectral data views, develop collaborative workspaces, and identify key products for in-depth problem solving. Plus, we’re always available to answer any questions.
Step 5: Digital Core Management and Storage
No more mountains of core boxes and scattered data. Our market-leading application enables easy access to your drill core and data anytime and from anywhere.
IntelliCore® takes away the burden of managing large data volumes and multiple data layers used to enhance your geological interpretations. We provide convenience and ease of access to your core to allow you to rapidly reassess the geology and relationships on the fly, eliminating delays when you need answers.
Simplify your workflow, collaborate seamlessly, and accelerate your decision-making.
