Optimizing Copper-Nickel Sulfide Exploration: Spartan MT for Mafic-Ultramafic Intrusion Targeting
Deep drilling is expensive. Imaging before drilling can help focus drilling which can save money. The initial discovery was below 500m.
Impala decided that a first pass image of resistivity directly over the discovery zone. A SPARTAN MT survey was commissioned and a comprehensive survey was designed. SPARTAN MT is a flexible way to collect deep resistivity information. Each individual site collects resistivity information from surface to great depths.

The SPARTAN Survey successfully imaged to greater than 1000m. The client used the data to highlight the potential area of the discovery as well as provide hot spots for further exploration.The survey was successful at providing deep resistivity information to help delineate the discovery area as well as to provide key information for deep targetting.
