Integrating surface geology and geochemistry to geophysics
Geophysical surveys resolve spatial variations in physical properties such as conductivity, chargeability, resistivity, density, and magnetization. These responses are inherently non-unique and can reflect multiple geological sources. Targeted geological mapping and geochemical sampling are therefore applied to constrain the interpretation of physical anomalies, test geological hypotheses derived from geophysical results, provide compositional vectors toward mineralization, and reduce ambiguity prior to drilling.

Terrain-adapted follow-up
Follow-up strategy is adjusted to ground conditions. In areas of good exposure, rock and channel sampling are prioritized. Where overburden is thin, soil geochemistry is applied. In glaciated terrain, till sampling is preferred, while areas with limited exposure are evaluated using lake and stream sediment geochemistry.
Exploration workflow
- Geophysics delineates physical property contrasts and structural features.
- Geological mapping constrains lithological and structural framework.
- Targeted geochemistry tests mineralization potential.
- Combined interpretation reduces uncertainty prior to drilling.
