Our Expertise
Petra Forma offers a focused suite of services across the exploration lifecycle, with particular strength in early-stage exploration planning, technical review, and project generation. Our work is built on direct technical experience across multiple commodities and jurisdictions, and is delivered to a standard that supports both internal decision-making and external scrutiny.
-
We help explorers move from concept to executable programme. That includes target ranking, work programme design, budgeting inputs, and the sequencing decisions that determine whether a campaign delivers value or burns capital. Programmes are designed to test the geological model, not just to tick activity boxes.
-
Petra Forma completes independent technical reviews focused on two questions clients consistently need answered: what is the genuine exploration potential of this ground, and where are the technical risks. Reviews are structured for clarity, whether the audience is an internal board, a prospective acquirer, or an investor conducting due diligence.
-
We deliver full-chain project generation — from geological concept and area selection through to prospectivity assessment, ground acquisition strategy, and tenement recommendations. Work spans:
Rare earths — unconformity-style HREE systems and carbonatite-hosted deposits
Uranium — unconformity-type systems
Copper — sediment-hosted copper
Copper-gold — orogenic and reduced intrusion-related systems
-
Petra Forma also supports the development of junior geologists through structured mentoring, drawing on fifteen years of project experience to accelerate the technical growth of the next generation of explorers.

Project experience spans Australia, the United States, Canada, Chile, Saudi Arabia, and Greenland.
