MARKET PRESSURE = BUYING OPPORTUNITIES

As predicted on the AGORACOM Blog, it appears we are now moving into capitulation phase and a great opportunity to buy good small-caps that have been thrown out with the bathwater.

Penetration

Posted by: longbomb on July 05, 2008 01:50PM

A while back, quackaphobe's post got me looking into the airborne survey capabilities some more. Here's a little homework to share................

What equipment is Sage using, and what are the depth capabilities?

"We are currently running an airborne survey using Geotech's VTEM system. I checked the Geotech proposal and Geotech does not provide a statistic regarding expected conductor depth penetration. I have heard of anecdotal evidence that the VTEM system does provide the greatest depth penetration of the current generation of airborne EM systems. We shall see." - SGX

.............

Some encouraging testimonials and specs are available on Geotech's website:

http://www.geotech.ca/

........"the VTEM survey proved remarkably effective at detecting and resolving conductors in Precambrian basement beneath 100 to 200 m of resistive Paleozoic cover rocks. In one month it has advanced an area of over 4000 km2 from a conceptual exploration play to one that has a dozen-plus accurately located high-priority targets that can be readily evaluated by the standard ground EM techniques used in nickel exploration."

............

All companies pump their own equipment as being the best, but even so..... there's some good info on this website. Worth a look IMO. Some mention and graphs for up to 800m deep. Looks like a decent choice of equipment. The main pumps seem to be:

  • Deep penetration
  • High spatial resolution
  • Excellent resistivity discrimination
  • Detection of weak anomalies
