MAGNETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY
Why use it?
Magnetic susceptibility is used to ascertain how easily a formation can be magnetised.
Alteration and oxidation zones from formations hosting Iron and pyrrhotite are the most common targets for delineation with the probe.
This is a two coil sonde designed to measure apparent formation magnetic susceptibility.
Field applications include
- Grade control (iron ore) & delineation of the hardcap in magnetite deposits.
- Uranium exploration
- Defining mineralised zones and the various degrees of alteration in deposits.
- Long term water well monitoring (salinity)
