Employees of the Siberian School of Geosciences Tested the MARS Electrical Exploration Complex in Kazakhstan

Employees of the Siberian School of Geosciences (SSG) of INRTU carried out experimental and methodological work in the Republic of Kazakhstan. INRTU students tested the updated version of the hardware and software electric exploration complex "MARS" in the search for copper-molybdenum ores.

The Irkutsk team worked near the village of Akyn Kalka (before 2010 - Mukry) of Koksun district of Zhetysu region. There is a copper-porphyry type deposit owned by the exploration company Ibex Resources.

Leading engineers of the Siberian School of Geosciences Mikhail Davydenko and Denis Verkhoturov and research engineer Pavel Biryukov worked at the site. The field team was led by Sergey Yakovlev, head of the electromagnetic sounding laboratory.

"We have successfully completed experimental and methodological work on the updated version of the hardware and software electrical exploration complex "MARS". The equipment developed by the INRTU team implements the technology of electromagnetic sensing and induced polarization (EMZ-VP).

In Kazakhstan, we tested an improved synchronization system and a new configuration of the receiving streamer in geological conditions unknown to us," said Sergey Yakovlev.

Currently, the researchers are doing desk work and preparing a report for the client company.

"According to our recommendations, Ibex Resources will carry out drilling, and then we will have a definite practical result. This will allow us to determine the course of further cooperation," Sergey Yakovlev said.
