Hello 1King

Thanks for the detailed reply.
If I understand this correctly, in layman's terms, the equipment induces a current/magnetic field in an ore body and correlates the amount of time it takes the current/magnetic field to decay after switch off, with either the mass, size or metallic content of the ore body. Is that correct?

Two questions:

1. Will anything else such as graphite give a similar or confused reading?

2. If this system can isolate massive-sulphide from the rest of the variants, why are DML/Teck having so much difficulty matching drill results with implied (survey) ore body targets?

I presume the answer to 1 & 2 are that other minerals confuse the signals or provide mimic signals and no survey can separate the curd from the way with anything other than modest reliability.

Thanks 1King and Regards
