What is Electroprospecting?
- Electroprospecting is the technology used for geological mapping and mining exploration which is based on the reconstruction of electrical properties distribution in the given section of the Earth
- In the last 10 years this technology has made tremendous advancements and expanded its scope of applications and geological tasks which it can resolve in a wide depths intervals
- The main theory behind EM methods application is based on the difference of electrical resistivity for various mining commodities – there are more than 7 decades difference between various mineral ore’s:
Electroprospecting is the main exploration method for:
- Mining (gold, VMS, uranium, kimberlites, etc.)
- Geothermal
- Groundwater
- Construction materials
- Geological engineering applications
- Permafrost, glacier and melt rock mapping – precise mapping of groundwater boundaries
- Investigation, monitoring and prediction of volcano’s and earthquakes
- Earth’s deep crust & mantle research
- Very effective for oil & gas exploration
- Monitoring of geodynamics, important engineering installations, karst and landslides
