Interactive rare-earth project map

An interactive, searchable, mobile-friendly map presentation for a single exploration project — a self-contained way to show the ground.

An exploration project needs to be presented to people who are not standing on site — investors, partners, and reviewers who want to see the layout of the ground, the targets, and how it all fits together, on whatever device they happen to have.

The problem

A static map or a slide deck flattens a project that is inherently spatial. People want to pan, zoom, search, and look at the parts that matter to them, and they want it to work on a phone as readily as on a desktop.

What we did

  1. 01
    A real web map

    An interactive map built with MapLibre GL, so the project can be explored — panned, zoomed, and queried — instead of viewed as a fixed image.

  2. 02
    Search over the layers

    Searchable content across the map layers, so someone can go straight to the part of the project they came to see.

  3. 03
    Mobile-first presentation

    A layout that holds up on a phone as well as a desktop, since the map is meant to be shown and shared, not run from one workstation.

Relevance

Where this pattern applies.

  • A static map or deck is flattening a project whose story is fundamentally spatial.
  • Non-GIS readers need to explore, search, and understand the ground on desktop and mobile.
How we would start

A comparable engagement is well-scoped and quick to start: settle the layers and the story the map should tell, then build an interactive MapLibre presentation around them, mobile-first from the outset.
