3 Ways To Decrease Risk In Mineral Exploration
Avoid uncertainties in the early stages of resource development. More accurate and reliable images of the subsurface prevent unnecessary, expensive drilling. So a large amount of the exploration financial risk can be avoided. When you’re wondering where precious and base metals lie, Quantec surveys help you find more certain drill targets. Present better drill results. Make it easier to get financing for further developing resources. With Quantec’s easy-to-understand interpretations, high-resolution images, and record of better drill core results, investors’ confidence in your site can quickly build. Plus, Quantec’s global success and world presence provides peace of mind to investors. Find mineral targets beneath the surface. Most minerals above 300m have been developed. Quantec helps you image the subsurface of previously explored properties (and mine sites), so you know where to mine next or whether a property is worth further investment.Brownfield and Mine Site Exploration
Traditional Mineral Exploration Techniques Are Unreliable When Trying To Extend Mine Life. Extreme cultural noise ‘in the shadow of the headframe’ includes: power lines, haul roads, and active pits. Traditional geophysical tools are less accurate amongst such interference. But the unique data acquisition techniques of Orion 3D, Titan 24 and Spartan MT provide more reliable, accurate information for mine planning. Quantec’s proprietary technologies have proven superior for indicating the location, volume and shape of minerals for drill targeting. Surveys like Titan 24 can just as easily reveal ground condemnation in Brownfield environments as they can analyse large areas for potential targets—even without surface expression. Better digital signal processing, excellent noise exclusion, and sensitive distinguishing of signals amongst surrounding noise is just part of Quantec’s mandate as a world leader in subsurface earth exploration.Oil and Gas Exploration
Heavy Oil Exploration
As the heavy oil industry continues to gain momentum, Orion 3D’s high-resolution DCIP & MT (magnetotelluric) images of the subsurface maximise oil recovery and reduce steam requirements. By measuring the resistivity difference between water, bitumen and rock, Quantec can pinpoint the location of bitumen versus water. Orion 3D collects more data than any other geophysical survey in the world improving image detail and making Quantec’s inversions more precise. Plus, by integrating with all data sets Quantec creates comprehensive models, thereby increasing confidence in reservoir management for petroleum clients.
Oil & Gas Exploration with Orion 3D
As oil and gas exploration moves beyond traditional areas, there are times when 3D seismic data collection can be unreliable: Identifying bitumen versus water in petroleum exploration for more energy-efficient heavy oil recovery, Targeting hydrocarbon-bearing-shale-formations in relation to shale gas exploration, Imaging the geology underneath permafrost and volcanic cover. Without the right technology, oil and gas exploration projects are even more expensive in these new destinations.
Geothermal Exploration
Environmental Consciousness
Quantec’s geophysical surveys are conducted with safety in mind and with minimal environmental impact. Man-portable equipment is used for a smaller ecological footprint to acquire full frequency data over rugged or remote terrain and in various geologic environments. Geophysical surveys are also conducted using environmentally responsible electrode technologies. Unlike many pot electrodes, our stable steel plate electrodes do not contain toxic chemicals. Tests have demonstrated that stable steel plate electrodes are as good as or better than pot electrodes at high and low frequencies in a variety of environments.
