Case study
The article details an integrated geophysical campaign at the Everleigh Well target area in Western Australia, which included 31.5 line kilometers of 2D seismic data acquisition.
The seismic acquisition was undertaken by Faraday Geophysics using their eVibe seismic source and STRYDE's autonomous seismic nodes.
These nodes are noted for their small size, light weight, and wireless capabilities, making them suitable for challenging terrains and reducing environmental impact.
The seismic data collected played a crucial role in identifying previously unknown gold structures, such as the Northern Reflector, which correlate with high-grade gold mineralization.
Principal Geologist, Graeme Hird from Rock Solid Seismic played a significant role in this project by producing the geological model forming the seismic interpretation deliverable product. The model has been successfully tested with subsequent exploration activities.
He concluded:
"The 3D geological model gives Iceni Gold the ability to explore the project area with confidence. To date, the model is holding up well to further scrutiny. Drilling, mapping and other work continues to deliver evidence of mineralisation in locations where the model predicts it to be.
"In this case, acquiring and interpreting 2D reflection seismic data was money well spent by Iceni Gold."
