RADIOMETRICS APPLICATION
Pollution Monitoring
The recent uranium boom has resulted in a resurgence of interest in radiometric survey, one of the primary exploration techniques for uranium exploration. Uranium mineralisation is often complex in structure, occurring in a number of mineralisation styles. Given that radiometrics only reflects the surficial expression of mineralisation, uranium anomalies are further complicated and may be discreet or even and subtle in amplitude. High resolution surveys are therefore routinely employed.

Although the resolution of the survey is exceptional at 75m line spacing, clearly highlighting potentially contaminated target areas, the capability exists to more than double the spectrometer sample rate which, when combined with a 50m line spacing for example, would more than double the effective resolution.
