Main goals:

• Identification of understudied and undersampled prospective areas;
• Constraint or expansion of the footprint of known mineralized zones or mineral occurrences.
• Evaluation of mineral potential;
• Prospecting planning and budgeting.

 Approaches:

• Compilation of historical geological (geochemical, geophysical and remote sensing data), exploration, and mine data, their quality assessment;
• Data reinterpretation based on advanced 2-D and 3-D geologic, geophysical and geochemical modeling;
• Development of prospecting model, identification of similar objects, and specification of geological, geochemical & geophysical attributes of mineral occurrences and deposits;
• Topical investigations (fieldworks) to improve current deposit models:
• Detail geological mapping;
• Geophysical surveys;
• Magnetic survey
• Gravimetry
• Electrical & Electromagnetic surveys
  • Spontaneous potential method
  • Direct current (DC) resistivity methods
  • Induced polarization method
  • Transient electromagnetics methods (TEM)
  • Audio-magnetotelluric soundings
  • Radio magnetotelluric soundings (RMT, CSRMT)
• Petrophysical studies
• Geochemical surveys (soil, stream sediment, heavy mineral concentrate sampling);
• Remote aerial surveys (photogrammetry) using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
