Target Synthesis is led by Peter O’Byrne, an exploration geologist with nearly two decades of experience advancing greenfield, brownfield, and near-mine exploration. He has led target generation and managed multimillion-dollar drill programs for major gold producers and has deep experience from across the Great Basin and other structurally complex terrains.
Peter’s work focuses on turning scattered exploration data into something teams can use. He has extensive experience cleaning and rebuilding legacy databases, integrating historical and modern datasets, and interpreting geophysical and geochemical data in context. His technical work includes 3D modeling, field evaluation of prospects, and developing drill-ready targets supported by clear documentation and practical workflows.
His approach emphasizes original, data-driven prospect generation rather than recycling existing properties. By combining rigorous data management with advanced analytical methods, he helps teams uncover overlooked opportunities, reduce exploration risk, and move from concept to drill decisions with greater confidence in less time.
Target Synthesis supports exploration teams through:
· Drill-ready property packages
· Database cleanup and consolidation
· Property-specific targeting and technical validation
