Ground Geophysics

Controlled Source Audiomagnegtotellurics (CSAMT) is a low cost geophysical technique that provides deep geologic information based on lateral and vertical resistivity contrasts. Applicable for grassroots mineral exploration and geothermal exploration.

Gravity is a high-precision method for measuring density contrasts that may relate to economic resources buried at depth. It is applicable for mineral exploration, geothermal exploration, and oil and gas exploration.

Induced Polarization (IP) / Resistivity provides a means of detecting and mapping conductive mineralization, disseminated mineralization, alteration, geology, etc. for mineral exploration. Resistivity is sometimes used on its own in other applications.

Magnetotellurics (MT) is a passive surface geophysical method used to determine the electrical resistivity of the subsurface to great depth. It is effective for mapping conductive zones, as well as deep-seated structures. It is applicable for mineral exploration, geothermal exploration, and oil & gas exploration.

Time Domain Electromagnetics (TEM) is a powerful technique deployed from either surface or boreholes. It is applicable for mineral exploration, geothermal exploration, and oil and gas exploration. Quantec also provides Frequency Domain EM (FEM).

Magnetics is an effective technique for mapping geologic structure, geology and mineralization in grassroots mineral exploration. It may also be used in combination with other geophysical methods in geothermal exploration, and oil and gas exploration.

Radiometrics is a technique that measures gamma radiation eminating from the decay of potassium, uranium and thorium radioelements. It is applied typically in mineral exploration for surface geologic mapping.

Very low frequency electromagnetic (VLF) is a low cost, rapid method of identifying near surface conductors related to alteration zones and conductive mineralization. It is applied primarily in mineral exploration.
