Magnetotelluric Surveys

Magnetotelluric (MT) surveys are used to map variations in the electrical resistivity of the subsurface.

Because the MT method has the ability to “see” deep into the earth, the technique can be applied to many different commodities on different scales.

Moombarriga Geoscience provides high quality MT data in the frequency range of 10,000Hz – 0.00025 Hz. We provide services for

• Mineral Exploration

• Geothermal Exploration

• Oil and Gas Exploration

• Regional Mapping

• Crustal and Lithospheric Mapping

Induced Polarisation (IP) and Resistivity (RES) Surveys

The IP/RES method maps the electrical resistivity but also ability of the Earth to hold charge (chargeability). A transmitter is used inject current into the Earth and receiving electrodes are used to resolve resistivity and chargeability measurements.

Zones of high chargeability are often associated with the presence of disseminated sulphides. IP is used for the exploration of gold, copper, VMS and manganese.

Through the process of inversion, 2D section and 3D volumes are created from which drill holes can be targeted.

Processing and Modelling

Moombarriga Geoscience offers consulting services for the processing, modelling and interpretation of acquired data. We work closely with the client to ensure that the maximum amount of information is extracted from each dataset.
