UAV Time Domain EM and magnetic surveys technology and interpretation innovations
Promiseland Exploration, Ltd has recently partnered with Air Fusion and Tsikl geo in order to develop a new state of the art UAV-based Time Domain EM technology, capable of conducting full suite of semi-airborne EM and airborne magnetic surveys for mineral exploration industry. In the presentation we will be showing several examples of technology application in South Africa, Russian Federation and Canada, including base-metal exploration. Time Domain EM technology is based on using modified TSIKL PDI-50 receiver paired with a hybrid UAV, developed by Air Fusion and capable of continuous 1 hour+ airborne survey. Our interpretation technology is based on advanced floating S-plane inversion (ASFI) developed by professor Hallbauer.
Advanced 3D inversion modelling of DC/IP data for VMS and base metal exploration in Karagandy region of Kazakhstan: On the path to new discoveries.
In this talk we will be focusing on advanced 3D inversion modelling of DC/IP data collected in 2025 in Abay region of Kazakhstan. The data acquired in 2025 were corroborated with legacy geology, geochemistry and drilling, yielding a very comprehensive and commercially encouraging 3D model of VMS and base metal prospects, which in our view will lead to significant discoveries in the near future. Materials and data presented herein were acquired with support of Central Asia Metals, PLC.
