Typically used for general magnetic mapping of a prospecting area. It is an effective method for locating iron ores, such as those containing magnetite and hematite. The method can also be used for geological structure studies related to prospecting. The method is based on measuring the magnetization of minerals.
The magnetic method is effective for geological surveys of ore potential areas. The method is also effective for locating and delimiting magnetized deposits for subsequent survey methods, e.g. sampling and drilling. The method is effective for covering large areas.
The magnetic method is a passive method, so only a receiver is needed. Measurements are made on pre-planned lines, point-to-point or as continuous measurements. The method uses two magnetometers, one as a fixed base station and the other in the measurement.
VLF response can also be collected in connection with the measurements. Geovisor has measurement equipment in use, where magnetic measurement and VLF measurement are performed simultaneously with one device.
In magnetic measurements, we use durable and reliable Gemsys GSM-19W (overhauser proton) magnetometers, which have become the industry standard. In addition to durability, the advantage of the device is the continuous measurement function (walkmag), which continuously records location information, GPS time and the total value of the magnetic field at a specified time interval. The measurement produces much faster and more accurate data than is achieved by measuring one station at a time.
However, if necessary, you can ask us for alternative equipment. Geovisor has excellent connections to equipment rental companies and an extensive cooperation network. Our personnel has diverse experience with various geophysical equipment.
Customers always receive quality-assured raw data from the surveys. In addition, we process and analyze the data. The selected level of reporting and the customer's familiarization with the survey results are carried out as agreed.
As a final product, the customer receives measured magnetic profiles, equality maps and 3D models in accordance with the agreement. Data modeling can also be performed.
