IP Resistivity Surveys
WITH OVER 20 YEARS' EXPERIENCE, VGI CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR IP SURVEY TO YOUR SPECIFIC AREA OF INTEREST AT DEPTH BEYOND 400 METERS.
Together we can help you design a low cost IP geophysics survey within your specified area. Helping you locate reliable exploration drill targets with the following :
- IP Surveys Customized to your mineral exploration budget that can help delinate your specified area to depths beyond 400 meters.
- Experienced 30+ years' Geophysicist P.Geo. that is in the field collecting and validating your geophysics data.
- High Quality IP Field Procedures utilizing our in-house quality control (spectral quality tau and M) in addition to exploration standards.
- Detailed IP Inversions that are based on contiguous 50 meter dipoles that give a continuous 50 meter resolution, i.e., no 50 or 100 meter 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. IP chargeability and resistivity can help map associated disseminated and weak conductive mineralization.
- 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.
With Vickers Geophysics IP quality control methods one can;
- Effectively map rock types with resistivity and chargeability.
- Determine conductive veinlets from dissemination using spectral tau.*
- Provide definition of a weak conductive system that has disseminated to veinlet mineralization, by generating inversion 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 dessiminated mineral grains from connected mineral grains within resistivity and chargeability responses.
