The MT geophysical survey program was conducted by
The 1D and 2D inversion models were generated with industry standard Geotools software and included static corrections provided by the previous TEM surveying. Responses observed in final MT inversion model resistivity sections are coherent with those delivered by the TEM survey, both with regard to the tenor of the conductivity and the depth to the top of a hyper conductive layer. Further to the existing information, the MT data has provided an estimate to the base of a potential brine layer beyond the scope of TEM survey, which may prove useful in defining future resource estimates.
The results of the survey indicate highly conductive horizontal zones of less than 1.0 Ohm-meter signatures which are typically associated with brine mineralization in hydrogeologic settings across the Andean plateau. Preliminary hydrogeological modelling suggests a gradually increasing brine signature starting at approximately 200 meters beneath the surface with widths up to 400 meters reaching a consolidated lacustrine base or bedrock at approximately 600 meters at depth. Highly conductive zones of less than 1.0 Ohm-meter also exhibit large extent and continuity in the southeastern sectors of the Carcote prospects and the northeastern sectors of the Ascotan prospects.
The results of Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) and Magneto-Telluric (MT) surveys in combination with geologic mapping and geochemical program are expected to define priority targets for future exploration and resource drilling.
