MobileMT for porphyry exploration - model studies and field examples

Resistivity methods are an important part of the arsenal of geophysical techniques for the exploration of porphyry-style mineralization. One of the geophysical techniques that could be used to detect the porphyry targets, or its attributes is MobileMT, an airborne, electromagnetic system utilizing natural electromagnetic fields. We are examining and presenting capabilities of the airborne EM technology in detecting the porphyry mineralization using synthetic models and field data examples from different regions with different resistivity distribution scenarios.
