We're using the latest geophysical technique to map bedrock and find hidden paleo-channels. Check out our latest survey on our claim in the Similkameen region of BC.

Thanks IMAUDIGGER. We are using a new type of seismic sensor that doesn't require an energy source. It's very new and very awesome!
You mean there isn't a sounding charge or impact?
I'm assuming you used a drone to generate existing site contours?
That is correct. No dynamite, vibration, or artificial source of any kind. We use drones for the surface model as well.
Wow if that works, it would eliminate a bunch of permitting hassles.
Assuming this company has projects where they have truthed their survey with bore logs?
What is the name of the company?
This has been in use for about 20 years. It's generally called near surface passive seismic surveying but there are a lot of commercial names applied by the manufacturers. It's used a lot to determine subsurface support for buildings and roads. It's useful for shallow placer mining projects as well.
If the cost is reasonable and the results are accurate this could be a good thing for those mining bench placers as demonstrated in Nicholas' advertisement video.
