How to Use the Beep Mat Step by Step
The BM4+ is a powerful miniaturized electromagnetic survey instrument
that efficiently and inexpensively detects conductive and magnetic outcrops
or boulders hidden under up to 3.0 meter (10 ft) of overburden.
The targets are quickly delineated and sampled for assay to determine
if they are valuable showings or barren sulfide/graphitic conductors.
Step 1 - Make sure that you have
all components shown on the photograph below.

A - Reading Unit
B - Probe + cable
C - Charger
D - Spare cable
E - Carrying bag
F - User's guide
G - Calibration disks
.
Step 2 - Planning of the day
Step 3 - Initialization of the Beep
Mat
Step 4 - The all-terrain vehicle
carries the drill and the dynamite while the Beep Mat surveys
Step 5 - Use a Beep Mat to sample
conductors (sulfides, graphite, etc.) and choose among your assays the
ones that warrant diamond drilling !
Step 6 - Your Beep Mat beeps ! A
conductor has been localized.
Step 7 - The overburden is deep.
No problem, 10 sticks of dynamite will clear it.
Step 8 - It is done. There is only
4 inches of rusty dirt over the sulfides
Step 9 - Holes are drilled in the
bedrock with a gas plugger.
Step 10 - The fuse is attached
to the primacord. Red ribbons mark the limit of the conductor.
Step 11 - Fresh sulfides are now
examined. A 10-kg sample is taken for assays
Step 12 - The GPS localizes the
sampling site.
Step 13 - Once the conductor has
been sampled, go find the next one... When assay results are in, it
is time to select sites for detailed trenching and/or diamond drilling.
Step 14 - In th evening, the Beep
Mat traverses and sampled sites of the day are drawn.
