“All of the discoveries were in the zone of other major discoveries, but most of them had been overlooked for one reason or another. The motivation could only be attributed to a geologically motivated hunch. New technology in the form of deep-penetrating airborne surveys allowed ground-based geophysical surveys to target undiscovered anomalies. Combining the new information with what they knew historically, exploration geologists were able to improve the drilling programs to quickly determine a resource.”
The next discoveries made with airborne geophysical technologies:
Albany Ultra-pure Graphite – VTEM survey
The Balboa Discovery at Cobre Panama – ZTEM survey
Kennady North Kimberlite Discoveries – airborne gravity gradiometer survey
PLS High Grade, High Techand Contrarian – airborne radiometric survey
