This project was yet another milestone in identifying iron ore resources in a complex geological environment in Western Ghat regions in Goa. 02 blocks with approximate coverage of about 02 sq. km. in a highly rugged & thickly vegetated conditions were evaluated using geophysical technique. The scope of work included,

Coverage of area with grid-based ground magnetic survey.
Identify anomaly related to mineralization from Ground Magnetic data.
Undertake 2D Electrical Resistivity Imaging over anomaly zones.
Comprehensive analysis to suggest nature of mineralization & volume of ore.
Recommendation for drilling based verification of geophysical results.

A total of about 2200 magnetic stations were observed & data acquired in the coverage area. Several 2D Electrical Imaging (Resistivity) with a total of 3.2 LKM lead to identification of tentative mineralization pockets. Based on the composite results about 20 verification drill holes were proposed. With this exercise client could identify additional resources in their existing mines.
