Camp Oven Exploration is the geological and geochemical consulting practice of Carl Brauhart, PhD MAIG, based in Perth, Western Australia. Drawing on more than 30 years of industry experience, Carl helps mineral explorers understand geological settings and improve exploration targeting through high-quality field mapping and geochemical interpretation.

The practice provides geological mapping and related fieldwork, including core logging, as well as exploration and mineral deposit geochemistry. Carl interprets multielement data from soils, rocks and drilling to characterise stratigraphy, alteration and mineralisation, and can field-check geochemical findings to refine geological models and guide further sampling or drilling. His experience spans orogenic gold, lithium pegmatites, magmatic nickel, porphyry copper, VHMS and sediment-hosted lead-zinc systems, in Australia and overseas.

Camp Oven Exploration also shares maps, publications, fieldwork photographs, downloads, workshops and mentoring. Carl leads the OSNACA Project, an open-source research initiative associated with a quantitative approach to describing mineralisation signatures. The practice serves clients across Australia and internationally, with a stated restriction on fieldwork in, or transit through, the United States.
