California Water Project
California
Key Result
Identified a deep aquifer at 160m and classified 32 brine zones — providing the water district with a complete subsurface water map without drilling a single well.
Key Findings
- Aquifer detected at 160m depth (Sensor 0008, score 8.9/10)
- 32 saturated brine zones classified across the array
- 3 lithium brine indicators identified (Sensors 0002, 0035, 0057)
- TDS estimation and water type classification for all 36 sensors
- 10-borehole program designed with priority rankings
Baker Hot Springs
Utah
Key Result
Gravity detected the salt dome at 1,165m; seismic independently confirmed cap rock at 839m — two methods converging on the same subsurface structure from passive sensors alone.
Key Findings
- Salt dome confirmed at ~1,165m depth (gravity) with cap rock at 839m (seismic)
- Geothermal conduit zone mapped at 598–781m depth
- Four-layer velocity structure independently verified dome architecture
- Lithium brine indicator at Sensor 0011 (200–4,000 ppm estimated)
- 6 sensors within 500m of active hot springs
Nevada Water Project
Nevada
Key Result
Very low seismic velocities at LV2 (81–210 m/s) confirmed brine-saturated playa sediments — supporting the lithium brine hypothesis with independent geophysical evidence.
Key Findings
- Dual array deployment (LV1 + LV2) spanning 4.64 km
- LV2 extremely low seismic velocities (81–210 m/s) indicating brine-saturated playa sediments
- Brine-saturated playa sediments detected at 407–489m depth
- Subsurface fluid distribution mapped across both sensor arrays
- Lithium brine potential confirmed through multiple independent data streams
Regional Groundwater Basin Study
Utah
Key Result
Integrated 201 sensors across 7 deployments to map an entire regional groundwater basin — identifying the primary water-bearing interval and three distinct hydrogeological provinces from passive surface sensors alone.
Key Findings
- 201 sensors integrated across 7 survey sites spanning 130+ km
- Regional aquifer architecture mapped from surface to 8,234m depth
- Basin-wide low-velocity zone at 350–500m indicates primary water-bearing interval
- 99.7% seismic data quality — highest of any survey conducted
- Three distinct hydrogeological provinces identified across the basin
All Results from Passive Sensors
Every finding above was generated from compact, low-cost sensors deployed on the surface — no drilling, no active seismic sources, no permits required. Our proprietary platform extracts multiple independent data streams per sensor, delivering more subsurface information than traditional methods at a fraction of the cost.
