Groundfloor Electromagnetics

including Processing, Modelling and Interpretation

Created by the team at Platform Geophysics, Groundfloor Electromagnetics (EM) is a hybrid of airborne and ground EM methodologies that improves our ability to identify and rank potential mineral exploration targets.

​

Unlike traditional airborne surveys, this integrated approach positions receivers on the ground near a potential mineral target, while a moving airborne transmitter is flown above. Adding Groundfloor EM receivers within a few hundred meters of a target on a traditional airborne EM survey provides data redundancy, improves conductivity discrimination, and refines data definition, thereby increasing confidence, and ensuring that a perfect conductor is not missed. 

​

Groundfloor EM is an inexpensive, yet powerful tool that can augment any existing airborne EM program. It can be used to verify pre-existing targets and detect high conductivity anomalies.

 

At Platform, our position is that Groundfloor EM should be given the status of Best Practice for massive sulphide exploration.

​

The Platform team has been developing and refining the Groundfloor EM processing algorithms since 2016.
