Thanks for the posting. When I read about their new "Advanced Modeling Process Now Being Employed", I almost died and went to heaven. Perhaps a new era in mineral exploration has begun!! It only happens a few times in one's generation. The last one was, before my generation, when magnetometers were put aboard aircraft to better detect submarines.

Think of the savings in time and money one could achieve without having to cut lines, conduct ground geophysical surveys and do all the interpretations of the data generated!! This process can apparently "allow the Company to efficiently locate targets at greater depths, with improved accuracy, clarity and at significantly reduced costs". Wow!

If I am reading this NR correctly, it would appear that this "revolutionary" process must revolve around a type of airborne survey(i.e. involves instrumentation) and/or interpretation methodology. Being the naive geo that I am, I was under the impression VTEM was state-of-the-art, and that to increase depth penetration one had to therefore fly closer to the ground. To improve accuracy and clarity, flight line spacings would have to be decreased. I guess any or all could be happening.

I am also glad that I am a geo. At least I can still spot holes and log core!

I am anxious to hear more!!
