Q:
A:
|
Does the
HALO technology use acids as a
leachate or preservative?
No, because this may mask discrete anomalies.
|
| |
Q:
A:
|
What is the
nature of the solution used in the
analytical process?
Essentially aqueous.
|
|
Q:
A:
|
Is analysis
process a long drawn out procedure?
Samples are processed in 3-5 business days. |
|
Q:
A: |
Is the
leachate solution and extraction process
exposed to the atmosphere?
No, and therefore there is no risk of contamination. |
|
Q:
A: |
Is the
leachate process and analysis element
specific.
No, the analytical data determined for every sample is multi-elemental and includes the majority of metals present on the periodic table. |
|
Q:
A:
|
Is the
bacterial leach technique reliable?
Yes, surveys have shown consistent results over many years of resampling. Several control measures are also in place for the purposes of data accuracy and precision. |
|
Q:
A:
|
Does the
process have equal application for uranium,
kimberlitic,
base metal and precious metal deposits.
Yes. |
|
Q:
A:
|
Is there
any need to disclose the mineralisation
being investigated.
No. |
|
Q:
A: |
Does the
success of the application depend on the
terrain?
Generally not, although flood plains, river beds, would not normally be surveyed. |
|
Q:
A:
|
What is the
position about undertaking surveys in the
northwest and areas effected by
monsoonal conditions, or land which has been
inundated by water?
Surveys would not be taken until the land is dry, or at least one month following the inundation. |
|
Q:
A:
|
What is the
maximum depth the application has been
successfully applied?
160 metres. |
|
Q:
A: |
Is there a
minimal number of samples surveyed?
The number of samples is proportional to the study area and surrounding geology. There is no upper limit. |
|
Q:
A: |
Who takes
the samples?
Vestiga will undertake sampling to ensure the collection of material for analysis is performed in a correct and controlled manner. |
|
Q:
A: |
What is the
cost?
The cost of the entire service is based on the number samples actually collected, the only variable
relates to the size of the survey, there are no extras or hidden costs.
The cost does vary marginally according to the location. |
