Expand Your Deposit Potential: Proven Solutions for Resource Growth
The client needed to investigate the potential of a currently mined property dominated by active pits and infrastructure.
TITAN 24 lines were set up to cross the existing pits and infrastructure. The survey crew worked with mine personnel to effectively lay out and acquire the TITAN 24 survey. The results were spectacular. In 2008, Copper Mountain succeed in finishing one of the largest drill programs in Canada (106,000 meters) and increased the resource estimate by 45% to 5 billion pounds of copper. The goal of the program was achieved when the results confirmed continuity of mineralization between the pits.
Using TITAN 24 technology, Quantec Geoscience delivered effective surveys in a noisy environment, confirming the geological model and identifying deep targets. The results guided the drilling of 37 meters of ore, leading to $29 million in new financing. The surveys also revealed a merged “Super Pit,” optimizing resource extraction and significantly enhancing project value.
