Snowmobile-mode IMAGEM Surveys
Purpose: Snowmobile-mode IMAGEM surveys are cutting-edge time-domain electromagnetic (EM) surveys designed for high-resolution data collection across challenging and variable terrains. By integrating airborne survey design principles, this system allows for precise EM measurements, making it highly effective for mineral exploration, particularly in areas where accuracy is critical, such as gold exploration.
Applications:
High-Precision Mineral Exploration: With 200 channels of on- and off-time EM data recorded at less than 1-second intervals, IMAGEM surveys are especially suited for gold and other mineral explorations that demand detailed subsurface mapping.
Rough Terrain Adaptability: The fixed receiver and transmitter setup ensures reliable data even in uneven topography, providing consistency and interpretability in areas where traditional methods may struggle.
Technical Process: The IMAGEM system uses a highly portable, single-turn transmitter platform that outputs approximately 700 amps, allowing for high-resolution readings. This setup replaces conventional MaxMin and Promis surveys, covering wider areas with greater detail. Data can be processed to calculate time constants and is compatible with modeling software like Maxwell, allowing for in-depth analysis. Geosoft and proprietary software process and plot data in real-time, ensuring immediate feedback and high-quality results.
Key Uses: Snowmobile-mode IMAGEM surveys are ideal for precision-driven mineral exploration, particularly in arctic and challenging environments. They provide unmatched data resolution and adaptability, making them a preferred choice for high-stakes geological mapping and resource assessment.
