Case Study
Alpala
The Alpala copper-gold discovery is an example of how 3D Magnetic Inversion models were used to make this discovery. In addition, further research at Alpala has shown that new magnetotelluric or MT surveys can focus the drilling straight into the higher-grade copper at Alpala.
The new 3D magnetic inversion model with overlapping magnetotelluric anomalies compared with significant drillhole assay results.
A section of the 3D magnetic inversion model, showing the estimated relative depth of key magnetic features from the surface. This model is critical for targeting deeper exploration opportunities.
The new 3D magnetic inversion model is validated by actual discovery hole assay intercepts.
