Who we are?

Beak Consultants GmbH is a private service enterprise from Germany providing a large range of services including geological mapping and data processing, mineral potential mapping, mineral prospecting & exploration, hydro-geochemical and hydro-geological monitoring and modelling, nature conservation and environmental protection studies and reporting, as well as planning and implementing tailor-made databases, map production tools and geo-information systems.

Beak has strong practical and conceptual experience in geoscientific data management, mining, hydrogeology and geology, and it has planned and implemented information systems as well as complex knowledge management systems for mining, geological and environmental authorities in several countries. Beak is focused on development on new technologies applicable to the mining sector, ranging from predictive mapping and data integration tools to data capture and data management systems.

Beak is committed to maintaining a highly trained and educated staff dedicated to understanding clients’ needs and providing products and services appropriate to these needs. We do this through the provision of leading concepts in science and engineering coupled with modern IT-technologies. Our geo-scientists, geochemists, hydrogeologists, soil scientists, ecologists, landscape designers, cartographers, surveyors, computer scientists, and mathematicians work hand in hand towards the development of innovative solutions to the problems of our partners.

Ambition statements

Beak Consultants GmbH is strongly involved in R&R project funded by EU and Germany in software and technology development for data integration using different methods of artificial intelligence and GIS in the fields of mineral exploration targeting, geo-hazard prediction and hydro/geochemical monitoring.

Since 2007, Beak has been developing and applying artificial intelligence for mineral predictive mapping in 2D in Europe and abroad in African countries.

In the past years, Beak has started to shift focus from 2D modelling and prediction of mineral potential into 3D modelling and prediction.

In DeepBEAT, Beak will focus research and application of AI and data integration on geochemistry of granite-related mineralization in the Erzgebirge in Work Package 3.

Local focus is on mineral potential of Erzgebirge for Li, Sn, W and other metals on the German and Czech side.

Technologies

The advangeo® product family by Beak is the result of a long-lasting development process. It summarizes the experience of many years of software development for national mining and environmental authorities and mining companies.

Out of these products, advangeo® Prediction Software uses methods of artificial intelligence for the prediction of spatial events/phenomena based on multivariate data. It is used to predict spatial phenomena like distribution of mineral deposits, water and soil chemistry, soil erosion, geo-hazards (landslides, coal seam fires) or species distribution (pests in forestry).
