Repost: Fuller, good news and bad news with SFD and minerals...
Fuller, you are right that one of the applications of the SFD is finding certain hard mineralizations. For examples, they have flown over diamond kimberlite (?) cones and picked up a specific signal. On several occasions, while looking for hydrocarbons, they have found that same signal. Looking out of the plane there was no evidence of mining. Hmmm... I wish I knew where that was! So, the good news is that yes it can find certain mineral formations. The bad news is that Pinnacle was only given the license for hydrocarbons. Momentum kept everything else. 10 bucks says I know who the next two billionaires of Canada are!!!
You mention magnetic technologies. The SFD is not magnetic. Encal and Renaissance both tested this thing over power lines, gas stations (to see if it would pick up the storage tanks -- it did not), etc. They ruled out this thing picking up magnetic fields, electrical fields, sniffing airborne particulates, radar, etc. etc. etc. The CamWest people were telling me how if it were magnetic the whole plane would screw up the field so the sensor would have to be shielded and they would have to have a sensor or something protruding from the plane so as to not pick up interference. Something like that. Anyway, they have moved it from one airplane, to other peoples, etc and so there is no way. The geophysicists and geologists tell me it is one of a kind. No one knows, and George (the inventor) ain't telling.
