Minerals Exploration

Minerals Survey

GORE™ Surveys for Minerals are used to explore for buried deposits of gold, diamonds, copper, lead and zinc. Gore's passive diffusion sampler, the GORE™ Module (GORE-SORBER®), detects the volatile organic and inorganic compounds emitted by these minerals in a parts-per-trillion range. Using sensitive gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy, combined with Gore's Amplified Geochemical ImagingSM technique, a probability map is constructed, helping to focus exploration efforts.


GORE™ Surveys for Minerals are used in:

  • Mine Site Exploration
  • Grass-roots Exploration
