Borehole Induced Polarization

Initial Exploration Services has partnered with Abitibi Geophysics to offer our clients in western Canada access Abitibi's world class, borehole IP innovations. 

H2H 3d IP:

The Hole-to-Hole 3D IP technique offers greater flexibility than conventional BHIP. A Hole-to-Hole 3D IP configuration increases the detection radius around and below the boreholes, compared to what can be achieved with a conventional BHIP survey.

• Exploring targets under a conductive overburden
• Exploring a large radius around and below the end of drill holes
• Measuring in-situ physical properties for resistivity and loadability
• Increase the value of drilling 

BH IP Applications:

• Detection of disseminated metallic luster minerals (veins or gold structures, etc.)
• Detection of disseminated sulphides or veinlets surrounding a massive sulphide deposit.
• Discrimination between non-mineralized conductors (faults, shear zones, etc.)
• Detection of low or non-conductive solid sulphides (rich in sphalerite, discontinuous mineralized strips, isolated sulphide grains, stockwork, etc.)
• Mapping of alteration zones and structural elements controlling mineralization (porphyry copper systems).
• Mapping of clay minerals associated with kimberlites.
• Resistivity mapping to determine alteration or depth of a basin
• Selection of the best electrode configuration for recognition, depth of penetration or detailed mapping of targets
