Geophysical Survey

A geophysical survey is a scientific method used to investigate the physical properties of the subsurface of the Earth without drilling or excavation. It involves measuring variations in the Earth’s physical fields—such as magnetic, gravitational, electrical, or seismic properties—to detect and map underground structures, rock types, minerals, groundwater, and other geological features.

  • Magnetic Surveys
  • Gravity Surveys
  • Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT)
  • Induced Polarization (IP)
  • Electromagnetic (EM) Surveys

Drilling Services

Drilling is the process of penetrating through the ground and extracting rocks from various depths beneath the surface for confirming the geology beneath and/or providing samples for chemical analysis. Drill holes provide detailed data of the subsurface that can be classified into geological units that are the fundamental elements of the 3D model.

  • Reverse circulation Drilling (RC)
  • Diamond Drilling (DD)
  • Air core Drilling (AC)
  • Induced Polarization (IP)
  • Target generation process (ranking, prioritization matrix)
