Exploration Targeting Using Geophysics

Overview

This course provides a practical and conceptual understanding of the application of geophysical techniques in mineral exploration across a range of geological terranes and ore deposit types. Participants examine the strengths and limitations of key geophysical methods, including gravity, magnetic, electromagnetic, and seismic techniques, and their use at regional, prospect, and mine scales. Emphasis is placed on survey design, method selection, and the integration of multiple geophysical datasets using computer-based tools. Through applied exercises and assessments, students develop the ability to interpret geophysical data coherently and generate well-supported exploration targets. A quality-assured certificate from the University of the Witwatersrand is issued on successful completion.
