MINERAL EXPLORATION

Mineral exploration is the search for materials within the earth’s subsurface to be extracted and processed. Our dependence on minerals for use in everyday life (construction, manufacturing, technology) is growing and mineral exploration plays an important role in meeting this increasing demand through the discovery of new resources.

There a number of geophysical methods that can be used for mineral exploration, including:

• Magnetometers
• Magnetic Susceptibility
• Electromagnetics (EM)
• Induced Polarization
• Borehole Logging
• Seismic
• Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
