Tough to know what to believe, varied and different opinions. Last year Phoenix Geophysical were very highly regarded.

You feel Gallery is a grass roots company, who should be required to conduct MT surveys before drilling?

" This should not just be "commended" this "geophysics prior to drilling" should be required."
" P.S. We all appreciate that no method is completely "foolproof" but some are a lot more efficient than others. MT has plenty of excellent applications but not (IMO) in early stages of grass-roots exploration with limited budgets and tight economics."

A snippet from #488.

Gallery Resources is looking forward to positive results from several of its properties and will be using the most advanced exploration techniques to enhance the potential for discovering magmatic sulphide deposits. Included in the exploration program will be a magnototelluric survey which is a high precision ground geophysical survey used to detect deep sulphide bodies at depths down to 4 kilometers. This technology will be used because of its ability to precisely define deep drill targets. In 1996, Diamond Fields Resources successfully used this survey on the Eastern Deeps zone at Voisey's Bay and accurately outlined the 1 kilometer deep massive sulphide body. Other successful magnototelluric surveys are also documented including the delineation of the 2 kilometer deep Trillabelle deposit located on the western flank of the Sudbury structure.
