From raising new investment capital to defining drillhole targets in half the time, our partners are seeing the benefits. Read their testimonials:

"It is difficult to pin down the future value of this technology to us. An initial review suggests that if we implement it effectively, then if can add one or two hundred thousand dollars per year to the value of our world-wide exploration effort quite easily. The use of cooperative visualization would also mean less travel time and therefore greater availability of key decision makers."
Peter Kowalczyk, Chief Geophysicist
Placer Dome Canada

"The ergonomics of the lab allow such a terrific opportunity for group work. We walked away from that first session with 11 new exploration targets. Don't get me wrong - we would have found them eventually without the use of the VRL. But the ease of viewing the data and the access to teamwork allowed us to recognize these targets sooner. It lends us the opportunity to look at our data like we've never done before. We're no smarter than the people before us - we just have better tools."
Damian Duff, Manager of Geology
Falconbridge Limited

"By using the Virtual Reality Lab (VRL) and MIRARCO staff we are able to view multiple layers of data in 3D. The VRL allows us to present the geological data so interpetation can be easily made and convincingly presented to partners, investors, and analysts in a way that is visually appealing and quickly understood. We also find significant value in using the stereo VRL to identify the interaction and relationship between the different datasets, and assist in demonstrating the relationship to mineralized bodies."
Heather Pearson
Pacific Northwest Capital Corp.

"Substantial information has been available from drilling by previous owners but a coherent deposit model based on drill data had never been formulated. By using the MIRARCO 3-D system, the Company has been able to conclude that significant mineral values were disregarded in prior assessments."
Nuinsco Resources
Press Release, Dec. 2, 2004

"The Laurentian VR facility, with its associated computation and data gathering capabilities, is seen as one of the most integrated and best targeted research infrastructures in Canada."
