Claim-block drone magnetics
A junior explorer has 20 km² of claims in steep terrain. A drone magnetic survey at 25 m line spacing maps a magnetic low along a fault. IP on three lines ranks the targets for the first drill program.
Applications
Mineral Exploration
Targeting metallic and industrial mineral deposits.
Geophysics puts drill holes where they are most likely to hit. We design staged programs: airborne or drone surveys to map structure and alteration across a claim block, then ground IP, EM or gravity to rank targets before drilling.
Drone-enabled
What we map
- Structural controls: faults, contacts, dykes
- Disseminated and massive sulfides
- Alteration zones
- Buried porphyry systems
- Placer paleochannels
What you receive
- Interpreted structural maps
- Ranked drill targets
- 3D inversions
- Data compilation for NI 43-101 / S-K 1300 reporting
Recommended methods
- Drone Magnetics — UAV-borne magnetometer surveys
- Semi-Airborne EM (SAEM) — Grounded transmitter, drone-borne receiver
- Airborne Geophysics — Helicopter and fixed-wing regional surveys
- Induced Polarization — Chargeability for disseminated minerals and clay
- Time-Domain EM — Deep soundings for groundwater and exploration
- Gravity — Density contrasts at depth
- Borehole Geophysics — Logging wells and boreholes
