Mineral Exploration

CSR GeoSurveys Ltd. has extensive experience in using magnetic, gravity, electrical, seismic, and other geophysical survey methods for mineral exploration. Utilizing these geophysical techniques, we can measure the physical characteristics different mineral deposits exhibit, such as density, ferrousity, magnetic susceptibility, and electrical conductivity, to infer the composition, structure, and distribution of rocks and minerals beneath the Earth’s surface. Geophysical surveys can detect anomalies and variations in the subsurface, aid in target selection for drilling, map geological structures, such as faults, folds and rock layers, and estimate the depth and size of mineral deposits.

CSR specializes in selecting and combining geophysical methods that will produce results for our clients based on regional geology and targeted minerals. We are experienced in working in challenging environments that may require large coverage and surveying through rough terrain. We offer geophysical techniques that don’t require excavation or drilling, thereby reducing the environmental impacts, minimizing costs, and increasing productivity of our clients mineral exploration projects.

CSR utilizes the following geophysical techniques for mineral exploration:

  • Magnetometry/Gradiometry
  • Electrical Resistivity Tomography/Induced Polarization (IP)
  • Very Low Frequency (VLF) Electromagnetics
  • Radiometrics/Gamma Ray Spectrometry
  • Seismic (Reflection, Refraction, VSP and MASW)
  • Gravimetric Surveys
