| Geo Scan will come to your property and do a Geophysical Electro Magnetic Scan. If any anomaly or sinkhole is located, the ground position will be marked for extensive testing by our professional geologist to determine its authenticity. *Geo Scan is not a sinkhole remediation company.
Geo Scan is a sub-surface scanning company with a non -evasive approach to sinkhole scanning. Geo Scan will recommend authorized remediation companies upon request of the client. Geo Scan will provide you with a full report of your properties findings. Call now for a free quote.

OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION
EM complements reflection seismic and reduces risk.
Oil and gas exploration companies have used the reflection seismic technique for years and rely on its strengths while recognizing its limitations. Factors in the geologic structure of the prospective area can form a high-velocity barrier, degrading resolution below the barrier and limiting the depth of investigation. Volcanic rocks near the surface or in the section, dense, highly-indurate limestone, and crystalline basement thrust over sediments are common obstacles to definitive modeling with seismic. In addition, rugged terrain, jungle vegetation, and geographic remoteness can make seismic difficult, costly, or even impossible to use.
Many oil companies world-wide have used electromagnetic (EM) methods as a cost-effective, useful complement to seismic techniques and as a substitute where seismic cannot be used at all. Both natural-source methods (MT) and man-made, controlled-source methods (IP and CSEM) have made valuable contributions in refining geologic models, reducing exploration risk, and improving production monitoring.

BASE AND PRECIOUS METALS EXPLORATION
As the search for new ore deposits moves ever deeper, both major and junior mining companies are increasingly using MT, EM and AMT for both brown fields and Greenfields exploration. INCO's 1991 proof-of-concept study in Sudbury, Ontario started this trend with two AMT sites that sensed a 1750 meter-deep nickel deposit. Falconbridge followed with a feasibility study in 1996 that accurately located two Ni-Cu mineralized zones at ~800 m and ~1350 m.
Since then, Falconbridge has acquired over 2000 MT/AMT sites in the Sudbury basin and elsewhere. In 1999, INCO acquired ~1500 MT/AMT sites at the Voisey's Bay nickel deposit discovered in 1996. Today, thousands of EM / EMT / AMT sites are measured every year by worldwide companies, demonstrating the value that industry players place on these techniques.
Tomorrow's mineral discoveries will likely come from depths greater than known ore bodies and may be covered by thick layers of overburden. Finding these deposits requires more sophisticated technology than traditional prospecting methods. Geo Scan Inc answers that need. EM/ MT/AMT is a proven supplement or alternative to expensive traditional approaches like Diamond Drilling and borehole geophysics and less-costly but shallow-penetrating airborne EM techniques. |
