Abstract
The results of experimental testing of mobile and operative technology of resonant frequency processing and interpretation (decoding) of remote sensing (RS) data for “direct” exploration of various types of minerals on a local prospecting area in the Klondike Gold Fields in the Yukon Territory of Canada are analyzed. Within the surveyed area, a large number of anomalous gold mineralization zones were found and mapped. The derived results are compared with past results of geochemical, magnetic and electrical studies conducted by the Operator. They also confirm, in general, the research findings about the formation of the Klondike placer deposits from the quartz gold veins that are “orogenic” in nature. It is shown that for the small gold deposits, detection and mapping by remote sensing data processing should be conducted at a large scale – 1:2000 and larger.
Previous resonant frequency remote sensing work in 2014 identified anomalous gold mineralization zones within the areas of investigation in Madagascar, Sudan and Guyana. These anomalous gold mineralization zones were confirmed in the ore bodies that were physically discovered using trenches (pits) and core drilling.
The inclusion of this remote and direct sensing technology, integrated with traditional exploratory geological and geophysical methods, will minimize the cost of gold exploration, reduce the time of gold exploration, and increase the probability of success of finding commercial gold (high grams per tonne) or other mineral deposits. The effectiveness and efficiency of resonant frequency remote and direct sensing technologies have been demonstrated in over fifteen countries in the world.
