Potential Mining Applications for Loupe
- Exploration for near-surface metal sulphides / graphite and mapping of grade in metal mines.
- Mapping of geology, grade and hazards in open-cut mining operations.
- Detection of conductive ore / stratigraphy in underground mines.
- Mapping of water content and /or salinity in tailings dam walls, waste dumps.
- Mapping of acid mine drainage.
