what we do
Say Hello To Your Rock Analysis A-Team
We’re spectral geologists who prioritize data—the kind that are passionate about revealing hidden secrets locked in your core samples. With 85+ years of spectral expertise, many of us have completed graduate studies using hyperspectral data in geological modelling and have applied experience in industry.
But we’re not just geologists. We’re a team of data scientists, field operations experts, quality control technicians, mathematicians, and engineers—an A-Team of rock analysis. Our cutting-edge IntelliCore® application is evidence of our experience.
TerraCore combines leading spectral expertise with extensive industry experience to offer a comprehensive range of spectral mineralogy solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of your projects and operational objectives. Whether you’re using our advanced IntelliCore® platform or renting or purchasing our imaging solutions, we deliver fast, accurate, and actionable results that align with your goals. Explore below to discover more about our services.
IntelliCore®
IntelliCore® is not just a powerful spectral data analysis tool. It’s a dynamic downhole software package that allows you to fully evaluate your imagery and compare it against all your downhole data.
A rich set of spectral products, images and reports allow you to dive deep into your downhole spectral data. Easy-to-use import tools allow you to add other geologic and/or geochemical data to identify lithology, data patterns, sampling areas, exploration trends or geometallurgical thresholds.
Export tools allow you to use data in 3rd party software and IntelliCore® interactive data analysis views allow you to create workspaces that you can share with your teammates or even design a public image data view to share with investors. All supported by geospectral experts that are happy to assist you.

Onsite
Need imaging solutions but your core can’t travel? No problem! TerraCore systems can be containerized or broken down into smaller boxes. The systems are easily transportable via plane, helicopter, ship, or truck. Our systems have minimal footprints and have speedy set-up times.
With the capability of imaging 1000 meters per shift, we are setting the benchmark for performance.
Drop us a note; we’d be happy to discuss what we can do for your project.
In-Lab
Short on space? We’ve got you covered. TerraCore systems are commonly found in a variety of facilities, such as TerraCore offices, partner laboratories, partner service providers or other centralized locations. In these instances, drill core and chips are typically brought to the facility for imaging on a per-meter/foot basis.
We’ll find a solution that works for you. TerraCore systems can move around based on regional demand. Contact us to find the closest system to your project.
Rental and Sales
Get the tools you need, when you need them. TerraCore’s systems are customizable and available for rent or for sale. All systems start with a framework, mobile processing unit, and an RGB imaging camera that provides high-resolution, depth-registered core photography.
From there, you can add any number of sensors depending on project needs, including visible near-infrared (VNIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MWIR), long-wave infrared (LWIR), and 3D profiler sensors.
Data processing, IntelliCore® access, system operation training, remote QA/QC oversight, and system service contracts are also available.
Consulting And Interpretive Services
Don’t just get data; get answers. We’ve seen a lot of mineral spectra. We share this knowledge with our imaging customers because we want you to understand your hyperspectral results and how they apply to your projects.
For our customers, we offer advanced services where we dive deeper into the data, working with you to better identify mineral subspecies, characterize grain size, or design a specific spectral product in IntelliCore®.
We’re always happy to discuss basic spectral Q&A for non-imaging customers. We also take on spectral consulting projects depending on your requirements. Drop us an email to discuss.
Digital Core Data Management & Storage
Is your core shed overflowing—a maze of dusty boxes and hard-to-find samples? Tired of the cost and risk of storing and transporting physical core? TerraCore’s cloud-based digital core storage solutions are here to rescue you.
We’ll digitize your entire core collection—high-resolution photography, VNIR/SWIR/MWIR/LWIR spectral data, the whole nine yards—and securely store it on our powerful IntelliCore® application. You’ll have instant, 24/7 access to your data from anywhere in the world, freeing up valuable physical space and simplifying your workflow.
Plus, you can rest assured that your data is safe, secure, and backed up in the cloud, ready to be accessed by current and future generations of geologists.
