Mineral Exploration
SLA Geophysics is one of the best mineral exploration companies in Kenya, offering comprehensive geophysical and geological solutions that support the discovery and evaluation of mineral resources. We combine advanced geophysical techniques with geological mapping, core drilling, and logging to deliver accurate, data-driven insights into subsurface mineral potential. Our integrated approach helps exploration and mining companies reduce uncertainty, optimize drilling targets, and maximize exploration success.
Our Mineral Exploration Approach
At SLA Geophysics, we apply a suite of geophysical, geological, and drilling methods tailored to each project’s geological setting. By measuring the physical properties of the subsurface, we identify structures, alteration zones, and mineralized bodies that may host valuable deposits such as gold, base metals, and industrial minerals.
Our Mineral Exploration Services
- Geological Mapping – Detailed surface mapping to identify rock types, structures, and alteration patterns that guide exploration planning.
- Core Drilling and Logging – Precision drilling and detailed core logging to obtain direct geological samples, validate geophysical targets, and define ore zones.
- Magnetic Surveys – Detection of magnetic anomalies that indicate mafic and ultramafic intrusions, faults, and other mineral-hosting structures.
- Electromagnetic (EM) Surveys – Identification of conductive mineral zones, including massive sulfides and alteration halos.
- Induced Polarization (IP) and Resistivity Surveys – Mapping of disseminated sulfide mineralization and subsurface chargeability contrasts.
- Gravity Surveys – Measurement of density variations to detect buried ore bodies and geological structures.
- Seismic and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) – Imaging of subsurface layering, fractures, and structural features with high resolution.
- Geochemical Sampling Integration – Combining geophysical results with soil and rock geochemistry to enhance exploration accuracy.
