UltraGPR used in Yukon for placer gold

Groundtruth Exploration in Canada’s Yukon continues to employ UltraGPR technology for alluvial gold exploration.  To date, over a dozen sites have been investigated using the method to map the position and depth of paleochannels in extremely remote locations.   Although clay is present at some locations, over penetration has not been an issue, averaging over 20 m.

Groundradar’s UltraGPR featured on Discovery Channel

The Discovery Channel’s Gold Rush Yukon aired its Season 5 Special on February 27, 2015.  The program featured work conducted by GroundTruth Exploration in the Yukon using UltraGPR technology to map bedrock profiles over rough terrain atop gold-bearing paleochannels.  The entire show can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYGaZXOGpqM

UltraGPR is discussed starting at 9:29 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYGaZXOGpqM&t=9m28s).

UltraGPR used on projects in 24 countries in 2014, spanning over 1,000 line kms.

This year, UltraGPR technology has been used globally, in environments ranging from Canada’s Yukon to Papua New Guinea for a wide range of projects.  In 2014, UltraGPR was used in Canada, the USA, Mexico, Jamaica, Cuba, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, the UK, Spain, France, Algeria, Gabon, South Africa, Madagascar, India, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, Australia, and Papua New Guinea.Map of locations
