About Rockpile Geophysics

An independent geophysical consulting firm delivering drone, airborne and ground surveys with clear, defensible interpretation.

RPG overview

Data guides the way

Founded in 2022, Rockpile Geophysics LLC helps clients answer subsurface questions before they drill, dig or build.

We specialize in electromagnetic, resistivity, magnetic and drone-based geophysical surveys. Our work supports mineral and lithium exploration, groundwater development, UXO, pipeline and utility locating, orphaned-well detection and geotechnical site characterization.

Every project starts with the question you need answered. We choose methods based on the physical contrast between your target and its surroundings, collect data with modern drone and ground systems, and deliver results you can act on, whether that is a drill target, a well site or a clear dig/no-dig map.
