Feargal Murphy and Rowan Vernon each presented updates on IGS’s work on the Saudi Geological Survey Regional Geoscience Program (RGP) at GEOMIN 2025 on the 13th and 14th October 2025.
The conference brought together 500 attendees and over 100 presentations. There were many presentations showcasing the fantastic geophysical and geochemical datasets released on the National Geoscience Portal (NGD).
Rowan presented updates on the Geological Mapping of the Arabian Shield (GMAS) project; supporting the discovery of New Mineral Resources. The initial products of the work are expected for release on the NGD in early 2026.
Feargal’s presentation covered examples of how the Phase 1 RGP airborne geophysics (magnetic and radiometric data) can be used for exploration with a focus on using open-source tools for data visualisation and enhancement.
