IP & Resistivity surveys
All of the solutions offered benefit from 2D and 3D processing and inversions to facilitate the interpretation of the surveys and to enable the accurate identification of drill targets.
Applications in mineral exploration
Detection of disseminated metallic luster minerals (veins or gold structures, etc.).
Detection of disseminated sulphides or veinlets surrounding a massive sulphide deposit.
Discrimination between non-mineralized conductors (faults, shear zones, etc.).
Detection of low or non-conductive solid sulphides (rich in sphalerite, discontinuous mineralized strips, isolated sulphide grains, stockwork, etc.).
Mapping of alteration zones and structural elements controlling mineralization (porphyry copper systems).
Mapping of clay minerals associated with kimberlites.
Resistivity mapping to determine alteration or depth of a basin.
Ground IP
Abitibi Geophysics offers all arrays for conventional IP (dipole-dipole / pole-pole / pole-dipole) to detect disseminated sulphides or veinules surrounding massive sulphide deposits.
