Paula Rulff is Ph.D. student at Uppsala University is developing a 3-dimensional forward modelling code, which calculates the responses of controlled-source electromagnetic problems in frequency domain aiming to resolve the electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability structure of geological exploration targets as accurately as possible. In her poster presentation she gives us an insight on the latest developments of her research.

In her poster presentation, Anna Donczew from Uppsala University introduces us to her Master’s Degree thesis, which consists of an Innovative In-Tunnel Seismic Study for sustainable apatite ore extraction.

Seismic methods are becoming an established choice for deep mineral exploration. George Donoso, Ph.D. candidate at Uppsala University, introduces introduces us to the recovery and reprocessing of a legacy seismic dataset acquired in 1996 at the Somincor Neves-Corvo (Portugal) mine site, and future processing work for pseudo-3D and 3D seismic data.

Reflection seismic methods nowadays are proving their significance in mineral exploration and mine planning.

Magdalena Markovic, Ph.D. candidate at Uppsala University, examined the reflection seismic data acquired within two field campaigns in the Nordic Iron Ore AB Blötberget, Ludvika mining area of central Sweden, for deep imaging of iron-oxide mineralization. In her poster presentation, Magdalena explains why the results from these seismic surveys are encouraging for mineral exploration purposes.

Within Smart Exploration self-organising maps are used for analysing data from several sites, where data mining is a major part of the work.

In his Innovative Poster presentation Simo Piippo (University of Helsinki) focusses on the utilisation of geochemical soil samples in studying previously unknown geological features.
