LINEAR E-SCAN and the "Cross-Line Strategy"
In 2014 we announced an updated and more powerful "LINEAR" E-SCAN 3D DC resistivity system
that was initially designed for 3D mapping in conductive-target
unconformity uranium settings such as in the Athabasca Basin.
This new strategy provides significant advantages over today's line-based survey techniques, and for a whole class of large, conductive target anomalies (Sedex, IOCG, nickel, geothermal alteration etc.), delivers a superior true 3D drill target result without the use of a distributed array survey system (like 3D E-SCAN or ORION 3D).
This faster, more direct true 3D target resolution comes at about the same cost as today's pole-pole and pole-dipole survey approaches. Starting from a single line of traverse data, it quickly locks on to observed conductive anomalies to deliver a drillable 3D result in a single field mobilization. No follow-up surveys,- drill-ready results in a few weeks.
This replaces the typical multi-season programs where initial results must first be computed and interpreted, then followed up by remobilization to the field for a second round of more detailed surveys.
The new technology is applied without preliminary line cutting, so a program can start within weeks of your decision to proceed,- as soon as site access and a camp can be set up.
If you would like to ask soime questions or learn more about our unconformity mappingt strategies, for example in the Athabasca Basin, call Greg at Crone Geophysics, 289 221 3604 (Greg's cell).
