Geophysics

Caracle Creek’s geophysical team has a wealth of experience and recognizes the importance of imaging prior to drilling as an essential component of the exploration process.

Our services cover a broad range of standard and niche geophysical expertise from project conception, planning and regional terrain analysis to survey implementation, data processing, interpretation and reporting.

Not only is data integration important but so is the integration of multidisciplinary knowledge between geophysicists and geoscientists (i.e., geologists, geochemists), which enables more effective targeting and planning for modern exploration and discovery.

We specialize in helping the geologist to understand how to use geophysics effectively. To bridge the gap between geology and geophysics we can offer:

IP-1 borehole IP/RES

Caracle Creek and Triumph Systems have partnered to offer state-of-the-art borehole IP/Resistivity survey technology to the industry.

Benefits of Triumph IP-1:

  • Provides a measure of formation resistivity (in ohm-m) and IP chargeability (in mV/V).
  • It is the method of choice in the search for disseminated sulphide, which can be associated with gold.
  • The probe provides a bulk measurement up to 2 m beyond the drill hole, providing a better sample volume than just the core itself.
  • The measurement is continuous with readings provided every 6 cm for high-resolution geologic mapping.

The Triumph IP-1 system and team provide:

  • Borehole winch from 300 m portable version to 3 km truck-mounted units.
  • Interface which generates the IP and resistivity signal (500 W).
  • Borehole probe which is rated up to 5,000 psi.

Triumph Airborne Surveys

High-quality Airborne MAG-EM Surveys

Caracle Creek’s strategic partnership with Triumph Surveys Inc. allows us to provide state-of-the-art airborne geophysical surveys (magnetics, EM) inclusive of program planning, implementation (logistics), post-survey data interpretation and targeting. Triumph Surveys INC’s global services also include surface(magnetics, time-domain EM) and borehole surveying, along with UAV-based magnetic surveys.

Triumph Instruments, through its related company Triumph Surveys, offers airborne geophysical surveys featuring helicopter-borne systems for detecting conductive, magnetic and naturally radioactive features. Triumph’s AirTEM system is a helicopter time domain electromagnetic (HTEM) platform that can be configured for rugged surveys in high altitudes or for deep exploration to 500 m. Ancillary equipment includes total field magnetometer, radar altimeter and high-sensitivity GPS.

Triumph Surveys has conducted electromagnetic, radiometric and magnetic surveys under extreme conditions in countries such as Mexico, Peru, China and Canada. Installations have been approved for AS350 B2, FX-2 and B3 helicopters as well as the Bell 407 and the SA315B Lama.
