SC136: Induced Polarization for Geologists

1  1/2  – DAY SYMPOSIUM

THU, JAN 23: 1 – 5 pm 

FRI, JAN 24: 8:30am – 5pm

DAY 1: IP Review (Half-Day)

Overview: Review of current IP technology, from field equipment through to data processing

Practical Key Questions: Presentations and Discussion

• EM coupling hasn’t gone away – even with new transmitters?
• When do I need a really huge transmitter?
• What is the history of IP for porphyry systems?
• How do I do IP over 100’s of Km2?
• Can I use IP data from the 1960’s and 1970’s?
• How do modern systems compare to 1960’s & 70’s systems?
• Is the resistivity data useful?
• What are the next challenges?
• Wrap Up Discussion

DAY 2: Case Studies (Full-Day)

Overview: Full day of integrated case studies, with a focus on porphyry copper-gold deposits

• Bringing  Geology and Geophysics together to search for Porphyry Copper Deposits (by Jon Woodhead)
• Cadia and Red Chris (by Mikayla Sambrooks)
• EL Cobre-Panama (by Colin Burge)
• Huckleberry-BC (by Julie Milne)
• San Nicolas-Mexico (by Matthew Armenti)

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Geoscientists who are concerned with getting the best performance from one of the most expensive geophysical technologies will be able to get a focused review of a wide set of case studies that examines how the deposit geology is expressed in the available geophysical coverages.
