“The thing I like most about Scribble is how easy it is to use. I also love how I can create any maps from scratch. A lot of the maps that I have created are not geo referenced. This has been very helpful to me when I have been creating these farm maps.”

Why Scribble Maps for Mining

Claims and targets in minutes

Sketch claim blocks, drill targets and exploration grids on satellite or terrain. No GIS analyst required.

Brief the field team by link

Share an exploration or haul plan with the field crew, geologist or contractor. They open it on a phone. No install.

Import existing claim data

Import KML, Shapefile, GeoJSON or GPX of existing claims, drill collars and infrastructure. Layer it all on one map.

Built for Mining teams
