Mineral Exploration with Geophysics
Exploration geophysics uses ground-based measurements and existing borehole investigations to map the subsurface and detect targets from the surface of the earth, all before any new drilling begins. Geophysical methods are integral to exploration campaigns, providing a comprehensive picture of the subsurface and valuable data for resource mapping.
Mineral Exploration
Advanced Subsurface Mapping
Certerra combines airborne observations, ground-based measurements, and downhole logs to capture subsurface structure that give rise to mineralization. Data from multiple scales are integrated with geology, providing refined subsurface images that guide interpretation and further exploration planning.

Integrated Exploration Methods
We use multiple geophysical methods to support reliable subsurface characterization. Each contributes complementary information—helping refine geologic understanding and reduce uncertainty. Together, they form an integrated framework for mapping subsurface conditions and guiding efficient, well-informed project planning.
Induced Polarization
Induced polarization measures how subsurface materials temporarily store electrical charge to reveal compositional differences.
Magnetic Surveys
Magnetic surveys measure variations in the Earth’s magnetic field to map subsurface features and materials.
Airborne Electromagnetic Induction (AEM)
AEM can measure electrical properties at great depths over difficult terrain (e.g., side slopes).
Controlled Source Audio Magnetotellurics (CSAMT)
CSAMT provides a deep-penetrating view of subsurface resistivity contrasts.
