Abitibi Geophysics

Corporate Profile

Abitibi Geophysics provides the highest quality geophysical data acquisition, processing and interpretation services to help our clients find precious and base metals, diamonds, uranium and other mineral resources. We have built an international reputation over 27 years, by safe acquisition and delivery of top-quality products at competitive prices, on time.

Surveys are conducted efficiently, safely and reliably in compliance with a documented Quality Assurance Program. Major mining companies have audited and approved our comprehensive Occupational Health and Safety program and environmental protection awareness practices.

Abitibi Geophysics innovations in survey methodologies, instrumentation and interpretation include: InfiniTEM ^®, a time-domain electromagnetic configuration, developed to increase the depth of exploration in excess of 1,000 meters; TerraScope 18 kW transmitter to improve TDEM signal-to-noise ratio; utilization of leading edge instrumentation such as SMARTem V and 24 receivers and B-field sensors to record on-time and off-time full waveform B-field and ∂B/∂t; and the development of the Hole-to-Hole 3D Induced Polarization technique including 3D inversion and presentation software to increase the radius of exploration.

Our mission is to help you find a mine through the intelligent application of geophysics. We help our clients select the most effective methodology and then design surveys to maximize your probability of success. We provide experienced crews and leading edge instrumentation for time-domain electromagnetic, frequency-domain electromagnetic, induced polarization/resistivity, gravity, magnetic and gamma-ray radiometric surveys. Our data-acquisition is complemented with a full range of data compilation, modeling/inversion  and interpretation services.
