Smart Exploration: from legacy data to state-of-the-art data acquisition and imaging

摘要

Introduction During the last decade, and possibly in years to come, mineral exploration geophysics has strongly pushed itself towards developing new instruments and hardware solutions capable of addressing the ever challenging near-mine and brownfield exploration issues. New data will be acquired but higher noise levels and restricted access due to mining activities and infrastructure increase the challenge of acquiring data of sufficient quality to answer key geologic questions and define additional resources. Companies that value their existing data and reassess them rigorously and continuously are likely to benefit.
