IP Resistivity Surveys
WITH OVER 20 YEARS' EXPERIENCE, VGI CAN CUSTOMIZE A LOW COST IP SURVEY TO YOUR SPECIFIC AREA OF INTEREST AT DEPTH BEYOND 400 METERS.
Helping you locate reliable exploration drill targets at a competitive price, with the following :
- IP Surveys Customized to your mineral exploration budget on survey lines that you specify. Delineating your proposed drill area to depths beyond 400 meters.
- Our field Geophysicist P.Geo. with 30+ years' field experience collecting and validating your geophysics data is the same experienced geophysicist that plots inversions and writes the interpretive report.
- High Quality IP Field Procedures utilizing our in-house quality control (see spectral tau and M *) in addition to standard exploration procedures.
- Detailed IP Inversions that are based on contiguous 50 meter dipoles that give a continuous 50 meter detailed resolution, i.e., No gaps between dipoles that is typical with 3D surveys.
IP RESISTIVITY REPRESENTATIVE EXAMPLES
- VMS deposits can be complex, and when the target is non-conductive sphalerite, EM surveys may fail. An IP chargeability and resistivity survey can help map associated disseminated and weak conductive mineralization for viable drill targets.
- Gold systems can be complex and are usually associated with conductive mineral grains. Chargeable disseminated mineral grains associated with contrasting resistivities can help give viable drill targets.
THE ADVANTAGE OF VICKERS GEOPHYSICS IN-FIELD IP QUALITY CONTROL METHODS CAN;
- Assist with mapping rock types from small variations in resistivity and chargeability.
- Delineate small variations within an area of strong chargeability by using spectral tau* to help identify conductive veinlets from dissemination.
- Provide definition within a non-conductive or weak conductive system using tau* inversions derived from high quality reliable data.

Spectral IP for Weak Conductors
With Vickers Geophysics' high quality Spectral IP tau surveys, we can help map complex mineralization that may vary in conductivity due to;
- disseminated mineralization
- large mineral grain size
- connected mineral grains
- connected veinlets
- massive conductive mineralization
When selecting drill targets, our high quality IP tau data can help distinguish disseminated mineral grains from large and connected mineral grains that are within resistivity and chargeability responses.
