RE:RE:RE:Looks to me Mining exploration[edit]
MT is used for various base metals (e.g. nickel) and precious metals exploration, as well as for kimberlite mapping.
INCO's 1991 proof-of-concept study in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada sensed a 1750-meter-deep nickel deposit. Falconbridge followed with a feasibility study in 1996 that accurately located two Ni-Cu mineralized zones at about 800 m and 1350 m depth. Since then, both major and junior mining companies are increasingly using MT and audio-magnetotellurics (AMT) for both brownfields and greenfields exploration. Significant MT mapping work has been done on areas of the Canadian Shield.[12]
Diamond exploration, by detecting kimberlites, is also a proven application.[13]
