Integration of Geochemical and Geophysical Data for Downhole Rock Mass Characterisation

Exploration for mineral deposits is more challenging today as the target depth for new discoveries is increasing. New measuring and sensing technologies that enable real-time data acquisition are being developed to overcome these challenges. This study investigates how a joint, real-time analysis of...

Description
Summary:Exploration for mineral deposits is more challenging today as the target depth for new discoveries is increasing. New measuring and sensing technologies that enable real-time data acquisition are being developed to overcome these challenges. This study investigates how a joint, real-time analysis of these data-streams can add knowledge about the characteristics of a mineral deposit and complement an effective exploration strategy in the future.
