High-Impact Geophysical Methods & Field Technologies
We deploy non-contact and contact electrical methods alongside high-precision magnetic surveys to deliver a definitive subsurface model — eliminating the need for costly, large-scale preliminary field operations.
Our methodologies analyze petrophysical, electrical, and magnetic rock properties, enabling reliable mapping of structural ore controls, mineralized zones, and complex geological anomalies.
Non-Contact Geophysical Methods — High-Density Data Without Grounding
Non-contact profiling generates continuous vertical resistivity cross-sections that directly correlate with geological logging data. Highly effective across varied deposit types and genetic models, these methods excel at delineating high-chargeability/conductivity zones and structural controls.
Deployed Survey Technologies:
- Electra HRX® (High-Resolution Non-Contact Electrical Profiling) — maps lithological contact zones, fault networks, and concealed structural controls down to 350 m depth;
- NEPF (Non-Contact Electric Field Measurement) — captures natural electromagnetic field anomalies associated with blind orebodies and tectonic disruptions;
- TEM (Transient Electromagnetic Sounding / Time-Domain EM) — evaluates rock conductivity and dielectric parameters, mapping deep mineralized zones and water-saturated fault structures.
Contact Geophysical Methods — Deep Subsurface Exploration
Contact electrical methods evaluate electromagnetic field responses induced through grounded electrodes injecting direct or alternating current (DC/AC). These techniques provide deep-penetration target delineation for metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits, aquifers, and conductive mineralized domains.
Key Geophysical Technologies & Field Methodologies:
- Resistivity Methods (VES / DC Resistivity Tomography)
Determine orebody burial depths, map mineralized zones, and delineate fault-fracture structures. - Induced Polarization (IP / IP-SG / IP-VES / IP-DP)
Highly effective for sulfide deposit exploration by measuring secondary polarization responses in ore minerals. - Charged-Body Methods (CBM / Mise-à-la-masse / CBM-T)
Delineate high-capacitance conductive zones characteristic of continuous mineralized bodies.
Ground Magnetics — deployed to identify orebodies containing magnetic minerals such as magnetite, hematite, or pyrrhotite. The method maps tectonic frameworks, defines intrusive margins, and pinpoints concealed ore zones — particularly effective for iron ore and magmatic copper-nickel systems.
By deploying an integrated suite of geophysical methods, we help clients optimize exploration programs, target drill campaigns with precision, and make data-driven investment decisions.
The Result — High-resolution geophysical maps, 3D inversion models, and structural-tectonic analyses of mineralized domains. All deliverables are supplied in standard industry formats (PDF, GIS, Excel) for seamless spatial integration and downstream campaign planning — mitigating exploration risks and boosting project ROI.
