The Beep Mat Documents Prospecting Course

Become a Knowledgeable Fast Track Prospector... with the Beep Mat

GDD's Beep Mat professionals can go on-site with your team and train them on how to prospect with the Beep Mat, the fastest, easiest way to locate and find high value minerals.

A typical training course lasts from a few days to a few weeks. During the course, one can expect to locate and sample conductors.

See pictures of Cree prospectors in action during a winter course that took place in January 1999 in Wemindji, in the James Bay area. The Cree prospectors worked in collaboration with the Tawich Development Corporation of Wemindji, Quebec.

Detailed Content of the Prospecting Course

As an example, within a 10-day prospecting course, the students will be trained 70% of the time in the bush and the other 30% in a lecture hall. They would:

  • Use GPS to localize the samples and put the results on maps.

  • Use GPS to go and localize EM conductors found by airbornes surveys but only localized on maps.

  • Be initiated to different types of maps and how to use them with GPS, compass, etc. For example of map used by GDD, click here >>>

  • Get an introduction on how to recognize at least some of the valuable minerals.

  • Be introduced to the Beep Mat : how it works, how to use it with a snowmobile, an ATV and on foot.

  • Learn how to find and localize conductors under overburden, snow and permafrost, up to 8 feet below the surface.

  • Learn to use explosives and learn how to blast the overburden and the conductors found, then take samples.

  • Have a chance to use a drill (gasoline plugger such as a Pionjar with button bits so that you do not have to sharpen them) to sample conductors with/without the use of explosives.

  • Learn how to set up a team so that one may, if desired, choose the target, find it and sample it in only one trip.

  • Learn how to stake claims or otherwise acquire mining rights in order to secure any discoveries.

  • Send samples for assays : learn about costs and possibilities of different assays types and learn how to recognize valuable assay results from samples found using Beep Mats.

The whole process should allow the sampling of several conductors and, perhaps, the discovery of valuable showings.
