Physical Rock Properties

Physical rock properties are essential to the paradigm shift, occurring now in the minerals industry, towards accurate, high-resolution 3D modeling and inversions. In-situ borehole geophysics is the best way to acquire accurate, fast and cost-effective physical rock properties for the entire borehole – saving time and money while improving models and knowledge.

Advanced Borehole Geophysics provides a rapid, accurate and cost-effective means of acquiring in-situ physical rock properties – the critical component linking geophysics to geology. DGI delivers a continuous and quantitative characterization of the subsurface with our comprehensive suite of physical properties probes. The resulting data is necessary to constrain geophysical inversions and improve the common earth model – the foundation for informed decision-making and risk management. This resource and structural knowledge-base can be leveraged by geologists, geophysicists, and project managers, plus geologic, geotechnical and mining engineers throughout your project’s lifecycle.

Our experienced team design and implement turn-key data acquisition and interpretation procedures to meet each project’s unique objectives for feasibility, production mining, and exploration, as well as for geotechnical, environmental and hydrogeology investigations.
