Organizers of the PDAC convention have requested that Jan Francke to speak during the invited sessions on geophysics. The title of the talk will be “Advances in Geophysics for Resource Modeling of Nickel Laterites”. A number of geophysical applications to laterites will be covered, including regional airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys, ground EM, resistivity (ERT) and IP approaches, and long-range GPR applications. Numerous case examples will be provides from laterite projects on all six continents.
