Advances in aspects of the application of magnetotellurics for mineral exploration

Figure 1. Power spectra of two time series recorded at different times in the Sudbury area (Canada). Evident is the increase in the amplitude for the nighttime hours (bold lines) compared to the daytime hours (light lines). The continuous lines denote real part and the dashed linesimaginary parts of the spectra. Advances in aspects of the application of magnetotellurics for mineral exploration ...

Implications for the lithospheric geometry of the Iapetus suture beneath Ireland based on electrical resistivity models from deep-probing magnetotellurics

Automatic Image Analysis for Mineral Exploration

Quantitative analysis of geoscientific data to determine the areas most likely to contain mineral deposits is becoming increasingly common in the mining industry. The approach is based on characterising areas known to contain deposits and seeking similar areas elsewhere. This paper presents an automatic image processing technique for the prospectivity analysis of Archaean lode gold deposits, wh...

Updating Probabilities for a Mineral Exploration Project

This paper describes a mineral exploration project conducted by a junior mining company within a probabilistic framework. In particular, it shows how beliefs about a project can be updated in response to a series of new pieces of information about the project associated with exploration activities using subjective probabilities. Several alternative frameworks are briefly mentioned as ways to im...
