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.
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.
