About Us

Welcome. I’m Shane Delany, owner of Cardinal Direction. 

My experience and training as a Cartographer in the Australian Army provided a solid foundation for my subsequent career in the Mining and Exploration industry, which began in the late 1980s – well before GIS was a thing. Over the years, I’ve worked extensively with spatial data and have been involved in and experienced the evolution of mapping technology, from traditional ink and paper-based maps thru to the development of today’s advanced digital solutions, essential in meeting current industry requirements and client demands.

Cardinal Direction have a wide range of experiences, working on a wide range of projects across various commodities including gold, nickel, base metals, REE’s, salt, potash, iron ore, mineral sands, and more. Our expertise includes geology, environmental science, engineering, GIS, cartography, and geological database management.
