What is the Beep Mat?

The Beep Mat is a powerful miniaturized electromagnetic survey instrument that efficiently and inexpensively detects conductive and magnetic outcrops or boulders hidden under up to 10 feet (3 meters) of overburden.

With the Beep Mat, you can sample as many conductive outcrops and floats in one season as a mining company drills in ten years of standard operation.

With the standard approach, less than 1% of all drilled geoscientific targets will warrant additional drilling. Sampling with the Beep Mat saves the cost of hundreds of barren D.D.H. and upgrades the value of targets to be drilled.

With the Beep Mat you can map the geological potential of a promising horizon without having to remove the overburden.

With its increased memory and its new software, the Beep Mat, model BM8, enables the storage of up to 100 hours of field survey. The BM8 reading module records the magnetic susceptibility and the conductivity 10 times per second while the GPS position is recorded once per second.

Afterward, one can draw quickly a map of conductors with the GPS position of the conductors using the Excel Macro from GDD. The targets are delineated and sampled for assays.

How it works

• The Beep Mat sends different sound signals for magnetite and conductive materials, and their relative values are displayed to help pinpoint high values. Simultaneous measurements of the conductivity and susceptibility (magnetite content) are displayed.
  

• Detects sulfide floats, veinlets and conductors such as pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite (Cu), graphite, pentlandite (Ni), galena (Ph), etc. and even silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nuggets.
  

• A red light with a sound signal indicates a conductor.
  
  
• Conductivity ratio displayed to qualify changes in the conductivity.
  
  
• Detects poor conductors imbedded into a highly magnetic formation.
  
  
• Detects veinlets with as little as 0.1% sulfides.
  
  

Scan the ground 10 feet deep at 30 km/h comfortably seated on a snowmobile or an ATV! With a weight of only 1.9 kg (4.2 lb) the Beep Mat can also be easily pulled by a crew member.

The Beep Mat Not Only Find Conductors, But It Also Cuts your Exploration Costs!

The following chart is a real eye-opener. By comparing the costs of surveys done with the Beep Mat to standard geophysical surveys, you will find that your prospecting dollars go miles farther with the Beep Mat. Also, your chances of finding a high value exploitable site are thus multiplied at least tenfold.
