• 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)
