Geological & Mining

Geologists and geophysicists rely on ground penetrating radar to gather high resolution subsurface information rapidly. Compared to other geophysical methods nothing comes close in terms of the amount of ground coverage that is obtained with GPR. Several kilometers of terrain may be surveyed and with integrated GPS geological mapping and prospecting in remote regions is easily accomplished.

Antennas ranging from low frequency RTA series up to the higher frequency shielded antennas are all applicable depending on the degree of resolution and the depth of penetration desired.

Both the CUII/ProEX controllers and the X3M may be configured for geological or mining applications. Antennas may be pulled by hand or towed in various configurations behind ATV’s, vehicles, snowmobiles, or whatever other means is necessary to traverse the desired terrain.

GPR is frequently used to obtain the following geological information:

• Depth to Bedrock
• Sand and Gravel Mapping
• Placer Mapping
• Groundwater/Aquifer Exploration
• Stratigraphic Mapping
• Mine Safety/Hazardous Fracture Zone Detection
