What We Do
FROM THE FIRST LAND SATUS CHECK TO THE LAST CORE BOX, WE HELP YOU SECURE GROUND AND RUN EXPLORATION PROGRAMS THAT DELIVER.
Terra Nostra is an independent geologic consulting firm with more than 50 years of combined field experience. We help exploration companies and landholders secure ground, plan drill programs, and turn fieldwork into usable data.
Our network across the industry lets us scale up or down with your program. Whether you are a company looking to supplement your staff, or an individual wondering about the mineral potential of inherited land, we can help.
Claim staking and land services
Staking claims correctly the first time protects your project. We handle the full process so you can focus on the geology.
Land status checks. We research land ownership, existing claims, and withdrawals before you commit to ground.
Claim layouts. GIS-based layouts that maximize coverage and meet location requirements.
Field staking. Experienced crews to monument and mark claims on the ground.
Paperwork and filing. We prepare location notices and maps and file with the BLM and county recorder.
