Titan 24: Deep Earth Imaging
The result of a four-year effort to develop advanced tools for very precise and deep subsurface information, the array based Titan 24 Deep Earth Imaging system is the most advanced electrical earth imaging technology to date. Based on best practices found in the oil and gas industry, the system has been designed to meet the needs of a variety of stakeholders in mining exploration and to serve as a tool in making key property evaluation decisions.
Measuring the parameters of DC (resistivity), IP (chargeability) and MT (magnetotelluric resistivity), Titan 24 measures to depths of 750 meters with IP and can explore beyond 1.5 kilometers with MT data. These depths and multi-parameter data make the system the best option available for obtaining subsurface pre-drilling information related to geologic structure and for the direct detection of mineral deposits any where in the world.
Measuring multifold full waveform data and sophisticated digital signal processing, Titan 24 can highlight subtle features through thick cultural overburden, making it an important tool for investigation where the effectiveness of traditional methods has been limited. The system provides a strategic advantage at grass roots stages and also allows for the reassessment of many areas covered previously by less sophisticated exploration methods in and around established mining grounds. Titan 24 systems are proven to be effective in many geologic and physical environments.

How it Works
Titan employs distributed array technology for data acquisition pioneered in the oil and gas industry. By measuring 24 or more stations simultaneously, Titan is able to efficiently record and process a vast amount of data. By sampling more data, faster and simultaneously, it provides increased reliability and accuracy of information compared to other methods. The method also employs a larger array (generally a 2400 metre spread), delivering much deeper capability than traditional means and airborne methods.
