GROUND GEOMAGNETICS

Ground Geomagnetics is a passive geophysical method that allows the measurement of magnetic properties in geological structures, taking advantage of changes in intensity, inclination and declination of the Earth's magnetic field.

  • Through the use of an equipment called magnetometer, the magnetic signal of a sample can be quantified in strength or direction in order to locate the rocks that have a high magnetic susceptibility.
  • The magnetometer is capable of measuring a very important physical property in nano Tesla (nT), linked to magnetite which is intimately related to gold-bearing strata, platinum, diamond, and other minerals.
  • The result of the magnetic measurements performed in the field are represented by Total Intensity Magnetic Maps (TIM), which are essential to analyze and interpret the regional and local mineral resources and then generate an optimized diagnosis of the suggested production fronts.

    • VLF ELECTROMAGNETISM

    Integrated System: 'VLF(Very Low Frequency) and GPS'. The VLF system is integrated on top of the magnetometer and was designed to be used by a single operator in a backpack configuration, this way the data acquisition of both methods is performed at the same time.

  • Because the magnetometer and VLF measurements in walk-in mode do not require ground contact, data acquisition is very fast.
  • The VLF is a powerful tool capable of delineating geological structures, measuring apparent dip of fault and shear zones, as well as having the ability to identify conductive zones associated with veins and sulfide concentrations. In the mining industry, field data can be interpreted to identify the dip of structures for reliable drilling. Importantly, the remote transmitter has a penetration depth of 350 meters. The application of this method allows the possibility of surveying more than 25 hectares of land in one day, thus increasing productivity to 5 times more than other systems.

    • GROUND PENETRATING RADAR

    Integrated System: 'Ground Penetrating Radar(GPR) and GPS'. GPR is a geophysical prospecting method which is used to investigate and detect objects, structures, minerals, etc, below ground level.

  • This method is characterized by being non - invasive and is based on the transmission of ultra - broadband electromagnetic waves in materials.
  • Thanks to a transmitter, a train of pulses is generated which, when passing through different layers of the subsoil, causes a reflection of part of the energy of the wave front.The receiver then detects these reflections, generating a two - dimensional 'depth-distance' record or image of the subsurface along the entire line of travel of the antenna.
  • The GPR is a powerful tool capable of monitoring moisture, detecting cavities, subway works, pipes, among others, and likewise, can provide a detailed description in depth synchronized with the local geology.
  • It is important to note that depending on the GPR antenna used, it can reach ranges from 40 to 120 meters deep. We offer the service of GPR terrestrial way and applying the system integrated with Drone.

    • GEOCHEMICAL METHOD

    Prospecting geochemistry is an indirect method involving values based on the systematic measurement of one or more chemical properties of naturally formed material.

  • Geochemical exploration is focused on the discovery of anomalous element distributions. A distinction is made between geochemical studies focused on a general reconnaissance and more detailed geochemical studies applied to a promising area for a mineral deposit. In Industrias Geodia we have carried out several studies corresponding to Surface Geochemistry and Geochemistry of Underground in order to locate the indicator points of the mineralization to make a model correlating the other geophysical methods.

    • TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY

    The topographic survey is the first phase of the technical and descriptive study of a terrain. It involves a careful examination of the surface, taking into account the physical, geographical and geological characteristics of the terrain, but also existing alterations due to human intervention. With the topographic survey we want to carry out a graphic representation of a terrain as faithfully as possible.

  • In our company we are known for carrying out topographic studies, specifically Surface Topography and Underground Topography. The most used method for taking topographic data is based on the use of a total station, with which horizontal angles, vertical angles and distances can be measured. Knowing the coordinates of the place where the station is placed, it is possible to determine the three-dimensional coordinates of all the points to be measured. By further processing the coordinates of the data taken it is possible to draw and graphically represent the details of the terrain under consideration.
  • In principle, subway works follow the same guidelines as those carried out outdoors, but with special characteristics due to the very conditions of working underground. The lack of natural light forces our workers to use interior lighting devices and to identify points to be observed.
  • It is important to emphasize that these studies are carried out with the purpose of correlating and integrating the data with other geophysical methods to generate a modeling and thus obtain a more efficient response.
