Drill Results

Drill Results Map Tool for Exploration Updates

Turn a drill collar CSV into a map with hole locations, selected result labels and a property boundary. Use the downloadable 14-hole example to try the workflow, then import your own reviewed collar and assay data.

Start with your project file. Open the matching workflow, add your data, and make a map for your next update.

Start free. Free PNG exports keep a small Exploration Maps credit. Pro removes that credit for US$29/month or US$290/year.

Finished Drill Results gallery example. The downloadable CSV contains these 14 collar locations; all company names, claims and assay labels are fictional.

What your collar file needs

FieldPurpose
HoleIDIdentifies the collar and its label.
Longitude / LatitudeWGS84 decimal-degree location.
Result or other attributesOptional text you can use in callouts; the app does not validate assay results.

Build the map in four steps

The drill-results guide walks through coordinates, labels and export checks. Open the finished demonstration map to inspect the example layout.

Use the map to explain the program

Keep the collar pattern visible, use a small number of readable labels, and include the program date and source. An imported boundary provides spatial context; it does not certify title ownership. The issuer and its reviewers remain responsible for the information published.

Return for the next update

Save to an account if you want to reopen the project later. When new collars arrive, add the reviewed data, check labels and dates, and export the revised map.

See data coverage and methodology for how uploaded and demonstration data are handled.

Make your first map

Upload your collar CSV, check the locations, add result labels, and export your drill map.

Frequently Asked Questions

What data do I need for a drill results map?
At minimum, drill collar locations (hole ID, latitude, longitude), which you can import from CSV or GeoJSON. To highlight results, add the key intercepts (grade and width) as callouts, and include target outlines and claim boundaries for context.
Can I use a drill results map in a news release?
Yes. Export a PNG or PDF figure with a legend, scale bar, north arrow, and title block, sized for a news release, slide, or report.
Can I update the map when new holes come in?
Yes. Save the project first, then add new collar data and update the labels and source date when you reopen it. Check the exported map against the latest reviewed data.
