Japan-based Geoscience Enterprise (GSE) plans to partner with Canadian geological software company Mira Geoscience on offering 3D earth modelling technology to companies planning mineral exploration projects in East Asia.
Geoscience Enterprise will introduce and market Mira Geoscience's earth modelling technology in Japan and Taiwan under a new sales agreement that targets demand for geothermal and mineral exploration.
"Mira Geoscience's services and software … will have many suitable applications in the Japanese and Taiwanese geothermal industries," said Geoscience Enterprise.
"[But] there is also a revival of mineral exploration in Japan with major gold producers entering the country and targeting its most promising districts. Mira's long-standing experience with most of the major mining companies in the world can play a part in bringing back Japan on the mineral resources producers' map."
The Mira products Geoscience Enterprise plans to bring to East Asia include the GOCAD Mining Suite, Geoscience ANALYST, Geoscience INTEGRATOR, VP Geophysics Suite, and UBC-GIF.
Canadian miner Japan Gold has stated previously that the main islands of Hokkaido, Honshu and Kyushu have at least six distinct epithermal gold provinces hosting more than 70 historically producing gold mines, including five with deposits of over 1 million oz.

日本を拠点とする株式会社ジオサイエンス(GSE)は、カナダの地質ソフトウェア会社Mira Geoscienceと提携。東アジアで鉱脈探査プロジェクトを計画している企業に3D地球モデリング技術の提供を開始。
GSEはMira Geoscienceと新しい販売協定を結び、日本と台湾における地熱・鉱物探査に対してMira Geoscienceの地球モデリング技術を導入、市場を開拓する。
「Mira Geoscienceのソフトウエアには、日本と台湾の地熱産業に最適なアプリケーションがたくさんあります」とGSE社は語る。
「また、近年日本には大手の鉱物資源開発業者が参入してきており、金をはじめとした鉱物資源探査市場が再び活況化しつつあります。Mira Geoscienceが蓄積したノウハウによって、日本は再び鉱物資源生産国のひとつになる、そんな可能性もあります。」と、GSEは述べている。
GSEが取り扱うMira Geoscienceの製品は、GOCAD Mining Suite、Geoscience ANALYST、Geoscience INTEGRATOR、VP Geophysics Suite、UBC-GIFなどがある。
カナダのJapan Gold社よれば、北海道、本州、九州には、6つの浅熱水性金鉱床区がある、と明言している。その鉱床区には、過去に金鉱山だった場所が70以上もあり、その中の5つにはトータル100万オンス(約28トン)以上の埋蔵量がある、と述べている。
