FARA-RIM survey of the Nickel Rim South deposit, Sudbury, Canada.
Nickel Rim South, situated in the Sudbury Basin, is a nickel, copper and precious metal deposit.
The Basin, a result of a significant meteorite impact, features complex geological structures including layered norites, gabbros, and breccias, known for their rich sulfide mineralization. This mineralization typically occurs along contact zones within these formations, making the area highly prospective for exploration.
The FARA System was employed to explore and delineate sulfide mineralization. The system creates detailed resistivity maps of the subsurface, revealing conductive zones indicative of potential sulfide deposits. This approach was crucial for understanding the complex geology of the Sudbury Basin. The FARA System provided several key insights at Nickel Rim South and has also served as the basis for the development of an initial model of the deposit.
