To Foresee is to Imagine Possible
As the 2-4C process grows in adoption and application, it has opened significant discussions with our clients regarding physical rock properties integration within workflow. DGI is committed to this innovative path and is working with a variety of partners from industry, academia and government to:
- Promote the use of physical rock properties
- Ensure best practices in terms of calibration and standard operating procedures so that geophysical parameters are quantifiable, accurate and precise
- Develop the best technology, forward the science, and support innovative research worldwide
The Data-to-Knowledge Gap
The 2-4C process was developed, in part, to bridge a known gap between geophysics and geology. Previously qualitative physical rock properties information could only corroborate geological understanding without the support of statistically relevant quantitative results. The Canadian Council for Mining Innovation (CMIC) statement on this knowledge gap is as follows:
“Transferring and utilizing the vast amounts of data being collected into knowledge that can be utilized in the discovery process is a major challenge not only to the exploration, but also to the geoscience community in general. Important to the process is assurance that excessive technological or computational knowledge and time is not required to utilize data and knowledge, and that transfer of knowledge is rapid…” Dr. Richard M. Tosdal on behalf of the CMIC Exploration Innovation Consortium, Unlocking Canada’s Mineral Wealth, November 2010.
As the Canadian and International mining industry continues on this path, we are firmly dedicated to systematic measurements of physical rock properties and to bring products to market that smoothly support workflow at an operational level.
The 2-4C Logo Explained
DGI was very pleased to partner with aboriginal artist Stephen Peltonen (SpruceRoot Arts) to develop the 2-4C logo.
The logo was designed based on the following three elements: DGI is recognized for our ability to acquire valuable in-situ borehole geophysical data (“2″). This acquired information is a key component for our 2-4C process (“4” and impulse line). The 2-4C process delivers accurate, interpreted and effective results that can be employed with confidence (“C” and target).
