Minerals

Every element has a signature. We read the one you are looking for.

The target element is set before acquisition begins. VMF isolates its spectral response from everything around it and returns where it sits, how deep it runs and how much of it there is — across gold, copper, titanium, nickel, niobium and the wider critical minerals group.

Where VMF fits

Pre-bid screening

Identify where to drill on new blocks, sharpen exploration focus, and quickly shortlist high-prospectivity areas.

Where VMF fits

Greenfield exploration

Ground with no prior programme, ranked before the first hole is planned. The target element is set before acquisition begins.

Where VMF fits

Brownfield extension

Resurveying held legacy land to reveal hidden, untapped reserves.

Where VMF fits

Rescanning legacy ground

Ground last assessed on decades-old data, read again against present-day element libraries.

Body base

The block is the modelled body from the report. Colour follows the same intensity scale as the 2D figures.

Lateral extent measured from the survey's 2D intensity map. Depth structure modelled from the report's stated 100–450 m range, dipping south and plunging east as described. T1–T3 are the trial drilling collars at their surveyed coordinates.

Ternary radiometric image compared with the VMF gold outline, Sinclair Mines, Namibia
(A) Ternary image of the three principal components of radiometric data, correlated with the gold mineralisation and the outline gleaned from VMF Technology.
Aeromagnetic tilt derivative compared with VMF copper intensity, Sinclair Mines, Namibia
(A) Tilt derivative showing the enhanced aeromagnetic response. (B) The relationship between Cu (%) intensity and the structures gleaned from filtered aeromagnetic data — high Cu intensity is coincident with areas of low magnetic response on the TDR image.

What arrives at the end of a survey.

2D stage

  • A georeferenced concentration map across the full licence area
  • Intensity plotted 0–100%
  • The area recommended for 3D modelling

3D stage

  • A depth model of the selected block
  • Volume estimate for the modelled body
  • Estimated average concentration
  • Drilling reference points with coordinates
  • A written report

Typical turnaround, tender to 3D model: two to three months.
