Methods & Techniques
01
Magnetic Measurements
Mapping subsurface magnetic variations using ground and airborne magnetometer surveys to identify rock types, structures, and magnetic mineral zones, aiding in mineral exploration and geological mapping efficiently.
02
Induced Polarization (2D, 3D IP) Surveys
Comprehensive subsurface characterization using induced polarization and resistivity measurements. The 3D IP method maps chargeability and conductivity variations, providing detailed insights into sulphide mineralization, alteration zones, and geological structures for effective mineral exploration targeting.
03
Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM)
Advanced subsurface exploration using transient electromagnetic fields to identify conductive mineral zones. TDEM surveys deliver detailed data on sulphide deposits, groundwater, and geological structures, enabling precise mapping of conductivity variations for mineral exploration.
04
High Temperature SQUID Surveys
High-sensitivity magnetic surveys using superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) detect very weak magnetic signals, providing precise insights into deep or subtle mineralization zones and improving detection of conductive and magnetic ore bodies.
05
Downhole Electromagnetic (DHEM) Surveys
High-resolution subsurface investigation using electromagnetic sensors in boreholes to detect responses from conductive mineral bodies. DHEM surveys precisely define ore body geometry, depth, and conductivity, supporting drill targeting and resource evaluation.
06
Aerial Electromagnetic (AEM) Surveys
Large-scale subsurface mapping using airborne electromagnetic (AEM) systems measures conductivity variations to identify sulphide deposits, groundwater, and geological structures, providing rapid, high-resolution data for regional mineral exploration and target delineation.
07
Magnetotelluric (MT) Surveys
Geophysical method that measures natural electric and magnetic field variations to map subsurface resistivity. MT surveys detect deep mineralization zones, faults, and lithological boundaries, supporting regional mineral exploration.
08
Gravity Surveys
Subsurface mapping technique that measures variations in the Earth’s gravitational field caused by density differences in rocks. Gravity surveys identify ore bodies, structural features, and basin geometries, offering key insights for mineral exploration and geological modeling.
09
Seismic Reflection Surveys
High-resolution geophysical method using seismic wave reflections to image subsurface structures and stratigraphy. It identifies ore-hosting formations, faults, and basin geometry, aiding deep mineral exploration and resource evaluation.
10
Wireline Logging
In-situ borehole technique using downhole probes to measure physical and chemical properties of rock formations. Wireline logging delivers detailed data on lithology, mineral content, porosity, and fluids, supporting ore body evaluation and resource characterization.
