Geophysical

Modern geophysical solutions to reduce risks. Aurora Geophysics is a specialized division of the group that performs a full range of geophysical studies to improve the efficiency of searches and justify drilling decisions. In recent years, more than 90 geophysical projects have been implemented since 2018, including large-scale areal and detailed surveys.

Magnetic prospecting

Ground magnetic survey.

Magnetic surveying is one of the key methods of geological exploration, allowing the identification of geological structures, faults and potential ore zones without drilling.

We carry out surveys using Overhauser magnetometers GSM-19W (GEM Systems, Canada) – world-class equipment that provides high accuracy and stability of measurements even in difficult field conditions.

Result for the customer:

  • Magnetic anomaly maps;
  • Understanding the structural control of mineralization;
  • Basis for further geological and drilling work.

UAV MAGNETIC EXPLORATION

Unmanned aerial magnetic survey.

UAV magnetic survey is a modern geophysical exploration method that enables rapid identification of geological structures, faults, dykes, lithological contacts and potential ore zones with high data resolution.

We carry out surveys using a high-sensitivity potassium magnetometer GEM Cardinal GSMP-20U(B) mounted on a DJI Matrice 400 UAV platform. This equipment provides high measurement accuracy, minimal orientation error and stable operation even in challenging field conditions.

Results for the client:
• High-resolution magnetic anomaly maps;
• Detection of local structures and mineralisation zones;
• Operation in remote areas and complex terrain;
• High positioning and data interpretation accuracy;
• Survey productivity exceeding 130 line km per day;
• Foundation for further geological and drilling works.

Electrical prospecting

Induced polarization (IP).

The IP method is used to identify chargeability and resistivity anomalies often associated with porphyry copper, gold and polymetallic targets at depths up to 500 m.

The work is carried out using modern equipment from GDD Instrumentation (Canada).

Vector IP

Vector IP is a modern modification of the IP method, effective in geologically difficult conditions.

The method allows for the identification of heterogeneous and disseminated mineralization and is widely used in the early stages of exploration.

Result:

More accurate understanding of the shape, depth and distribution of ore bodies.

Passive seismic

Passive seismic is used to determine the thickness of unconsolidated sediments and the depth of bedrock.

We use high-precision seismometers TROMINO® (MOHO S.R.L., Italy), which allows us to quickly and economically obtain data on the structure of the section.

Use:

  • Preparation of areas for drilling;
  • Evaluation of geological conditions;
  • Regional and local studies.

Planning, processing and interpretation of geophysical data

Aurora performs geophysical planning, quality control (QA/QC), processing, modeling and interpretation of data with the preparation of recommendations for further exploration.

We use specialized software:

  • Geosoft Oasis Montaj;
  • VOXI Earth Modeling;
  • ZondRes2D.

Result:

Interpreted data suitable for making management, investment and technical decisions.

Borehole geophysics

We perform highly accurate well deviation measurements using the REFLEX GYRO SPRINT-IQ™ (Australia), one of the most accurate gyroscopic tools in the industry.

Result:

Accurate understanding of well trajectory and correct interpretation of drilling data.

Topographic survey

Topographic work is carried out using high-precision DGPS equipment Trimble R12 (USA) and Leica GS14 (Switzerland), providing accurate spatial reference of geophysical and geological data.
