Mining services and software for geology, geotechnics, and blasting across Latin America
Geoblast delivers field services and proprietary software to mining operations across Latin America, with deep technical roots in geology, geotechnics, and drilling/blasting engineering. The tech stack reveals a hybrid operation: desktop GIS and CAD tools (ArcGIS, AutoCAD, Civil 3D) anchoring field work, paired with a .NET/C#/TypeScript backend (SQL Server, SAP) handling data management and compliance. Engineering dominance in hiring (45 of 67 open roles) and active projects around mapping, sample digitalization, and data quality suggest the company is shifting from pure services toward software-first operations—a critical transition for scaling across regional projects.
Founded in 1996, Geoblast operates as a service and software provider to mining companies across Chile, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, and other Latin American countries. The core business spans three service verticals: geological consulting, geotechnical engineering, and drilling/blasting design and optimization. Beyond field services, Geoblast develops proprietary mining software that supports geological data management, mapping, and operational planning across client sites. Current projects include regional expansions in Antofagasta and Copiapó, digitalization of geotechnical databases, and site-specific studies on slope stability and drilling efficiency. The 201–500 employee footprint operates from Santiago with active hiring in Chile and Peru.
Geoblast's stack combines GIS platforms (ArcGIS, AutoCAD, Civil 3D), geospatial capture (LiDAR, InSAR, drone data, GPS), statistical analysis (Statistica, Minitab), and enterprise systems (SAP, SQL Server). Custom software runs on .NET/C#/TypeScript for data workflows and compliance.
Active projects span Antofagasta, Copiapó, and Diamantina regions in Chile, with ongoing operations in Peru and other Latin American countries. Recent project awards include geotechnical mapping and core sample processing tenders.
