4. Terra has good results in metals, gems and others but these success rates should be discounted because there is not yet a statistically credible sample-set of projects.
3. There are enough projects done in oil and gas to provide meaningful representation of Terra's Capabilities.
1. Historically, not for lack of potential efficacy, more work has been done in the oil and gas sector than in minerals and gems.Notes:
2. Success rates in last the two columns are based on projects which have been drilled or excavated (1st two columns); while Terra's technologies were a part of the overall work program for these projects, and commercial success owes to many factors, inputs and exploration team members, Terra's early stage predictions were confirmed by drilling or excavation. In far right column, statistics assume all pending projects will be failures, a conservative though unlikely assumption with these results being unknown presently.

Geodynamic Analysis
Earth’s Mineragenic Systems are Confined to Specific, Calculable Zones
Is a geotectonic / mathematical model verified through decades of field testing and application.
Based on regularities in the divisibility of the Earth’s lithosphere from which a geometrical framework can be constructed of the subsurface.
Stems from Mantle Plume Theory, and is based on the priority ranking of “geodynamic systems” formed as a result of concentric discharge of deep energy and fluid fluxes coming from the Earth’s crust to the upper horizons.
Surface structures (circular, polyhedral, other) are identified from satellite images and model is “fit onto” area aligning with such features & known deposits
Applicable anywhere in the world as “overlay” aligned to surface features.
Most of the known mineral deposits of deep genesis are confined to nodes of intersections of concentric fluid-supply zones with radii, characterized by a universal discreetness ranging from just a few kms to thousands.
Surface features (large zooming to small) lead to area’s “mineral kitchen”.

Morphometric Analysis
Terra’s Morphometric Method Connects Relief-Forming Processes with Tectonics – a Virtual Paleo Geography that IDs anticlines
Known “old-school” tool not used widely today and often overlooked with its value underestimated for resource exploration.
Terra has developed Morphometry to be relevant in the modern era using high-powered, computerized inputs and outputs.
It translates all surface relief into ranked systems which have a relational connection to tectonic events and subsurface structure
Uses Digital Elevation data to derive paleo features Builds erosion-based, summit and catchment basin maps Enables the chronological stacking of paleo horizons and tracks
tectonic movements (know if the target horizon is with HC window)
Provides quick, cost-effective and reliable model of subsurface

Paleo-reconstruction Analysis
Understanding Subsurface Via Geomedium Movement Analysis
Earth’s geomedium is subject to tectonic & exogenous (paleo erosion /denudation) events resulting in what we call relief plasticity.
2nd-Derivative-based model connects the zero-curvature points (intersection of topo convex & concave) of a topo / paleo geographic map via an algorithm to create a 2D map of geomedium flows
Paleo flow maps help distinguish hidden paleo geological features of different geological periods / depths
Amoeba-like patterns show the nature of movements and help see important features (deltas / depressions / faults) in movement
Informs on deposition areas prospective for mineral accumulation

Structuremetric Analysis
Stress Fields in Sat Images Infer Mineral Body Boundaries & Depth
Stress occurs at contact of distinct, subsurface bodies interacting with each other due to normal mechanical and tectonic forces
Such stress appears in satellite images as a stress fields and vectors The method interprets all the stress manifest on the surface and
separates the sought-after paleo stress that is associated with geological bodies of interest
Locates HC-saturated or mineralized bodies Reveals subsurface structural components and faults
A cornerstone STeP method to indicate prospective areas and depth

Proprietary Spectrometric Analysis
Identifies the Presence/Depth of Minerals in the Subsurface
Received “State Award” highest scientific recognition in Russia
Finds circular structures (diameters - meters to KMs) manifest on surface in multi-spectral satellite images
Subsurface bodies absorb/re-emit the Earth core’s energy
This energy manifests in circular patterns on the surface detectable via images using a binary processing algorithm
Sophisticated algorithm filters the “noise” to identify the specific patterns of circular structures & calculates depth based on a 720 rule
