Our Projects
GEM’s clients understand our investment and genuine commitment to utilising cuttting edge technology. Renowned for our experience in using both Low Temp and High Temp SQUID technology, high productivity and delivering quality results. With a professional workforce and reliable equipment fleet, we have the ability to mobilise quickly right across Australia.
GEM have been instrumental in the discovery of numerous quality deposits for various explorers including Nova Bollinger deposit and Jericho prospect. Our ongoing exploration surveys include the Gonneville Ni-Cu-PGE deposit, Mawson Ni deposit, Carr Boyd Ni-Cu project, Cassini Ni deposit and the Yarrawindah brook Ni-Cu-PGE project.
Greenfield and Brownfield Projects
GEM are working on numerous Greenfield and Brownfield projects across Australia.
Our geophysical services are currently in very high demand because our clients value GEM’s consistency. Which comes from reliably providing quality services that deliver targeted results regularly.
WEST MUSGRAVE PROJECT
OZ MINERALS (ASX: OZL)
The Project is located in the Musgrave Province of Western Australia and includes the Nebo and Babel nickel-copper deposits and the Succoth copper deposit. The area is highly prospective for nickel and copper and the West Musgrave Project can unlock this exciting new mineral province.
The mine which is said to have a life span of 26yrs is under construction. GEM are conducting MLEM using HTS the survey around the proposed mine site is to sterilise the area before infrastructure is built to ensure access to the resource. Then DHEM survey to further define areas of the deposit.
JULIMAR NI-CU-PGE PROJECT- GONNEVILLE DEPOSIT
CHALICE MINING (ASX: CHN)
Located in the Avon region of WA around 70km NE of Perth near Toodyay. Gonneville PGE-NI-Cu-Co-Au deposit was discovered in 2020. It’s the largest Nickel sulphide discovery worldwide in more than 20 years and the largest PGE discovery in Australian history.
Julimar state forest exploration is strictly governed by a Conservation management plan approved by the Minister of Environment.
Gonneville is located on private farmland within granted exploration licences at the southern end of the interpreted >26km long Julimar Complex.
GEM have been conducting ongoing MLEM using HTS and DHEM surveys extensively for Chalice.
EUCLA NI-CU PROJECT- SEAHORSE PROSPECT
BHP GROUP LTD (ASX:BHP)
GEM are completing a test survey using HTS, LTS, and Fluxgate.
This is a massive belt scale Greenfields project comprising 26 tenements along a 350km strike length for 13,000km2. In the shape of a seahorse it is located in the SE of WA in the semi- arid Madura province on the Nullarbor Plain about 500km E of Kalgoorlie. Straddling the WA-SA border
Rodona Shear Zone defines the boundary between the Yilgarn Craton (Albany-Fraser Orogen) and the Madura Province. This zone’s trends are similar to the Fraser Zone, which is highly prospective for mafic intrusion-hosted Ni–Cu deposits. The BHP Seahorse project is primarily focussed on intrusion related Ni-Cu and our survey is follow- up to the holes drilled at Hedgehog.
EAST KIMBERLEY PROJECT
The Kimberley Project is a significant undertaking with substantial potential for valuable magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide discoveries.
Spanning across a Proterozoic belt, the project is situated in an area known to host proven magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide mineralization, which notably includes the renowned Savannah Mine situated in the East Kimberley.
IGO has placed significant attention on the exploration of the Osmond Valley prospective area in the East Kimberley region. This particular area is the subject of an Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement with Beau Resources.
The Osmond Valley stands out as a distinctive ENE-trending structural domain, situated to the east of the primary Halls Creek Orogen, setting it apart from surrounding regions.
DUKES NI PROSPECT
Moho resources (ASX: MOH)
The Dukes Nickel Prospect which is part of the regional Silver Swan North Project, is located approximately 10 km northwest of the Silver Swan nickel mine and 50km km NNE of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
GEM are conducting an MLEM survey using the High temp SQUID to assist in identifying potential nickel sulphide targets within the Dukes ultramafic sequence. Collecting very clean, three component focused in-loop data that enables discrimination between anomalies caused by bedrock conductors and those due to non- mineral related regolith effects such as SPM (Super Para-Magnetism).
POLAR BEAR PROJECT
S2 Resources (ASX: S2R)
S2’s holds the nickel rights over an area of 435 square kilometres to the southeast of the Widgiemooltha and Kambalda nickel sulphide belts. S2 retained these rights when it sold the Polar Bear project (comprising the Polar Bear and Norcott projects and the Eundynie Joint Venture) to Higginsville Gold Operations (now owned by Karora Resources Inc.).
Conductors were identified in a EM survey conducted by GEM, beneath Lake Cowan, a large salt lake, using the low temperature superconducting quantum interference device (“SQUID”) which can “see” more clearly through the conductive lake surface.
Two drill holes appear to have intersected the target horizon, which is the basal contact of the ultramafic, at the depths predicted by surface EM without intersecting conductive rocks that would explain the EM anomalies.
GEM are conducting a Down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) survey to verify and resolve the position of these conductors to guide follow up drilling.
YARRAWINDAH BROOK PROJECT
Caspin Resources (ASX: CPN)
Around 100 kilometres north-east of Perth, in the developing PGE-Ni-Cu sulphide West Yilgarn province, is where you’ll find the Yarawindah Brook Project. The Project includes a sizeable ground position of more than 400 km2, which is located about 40 km north of the location of Chalice Mining’s high-grade Gonneville PGE-Ni-Cu deposit.
The company has been active in the project’s exploration on a number of fronts, but most crucially, it made a substantial discovery at the area that is now known as the Serradella Prospect. Caspin is continuing to develop geological models for Serradella (and across the entire Yarabrook Intrusion) where mineralisation is now recognised to variably comprise Rh-rich lodes, Pd-Pt-dominant lodes and Ni-Cu-dominant lodes.
GEM identified a new Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) anomaly for Caspin north of Serradella using the High Temp SQUID.
FRASER RANGE PROJECT
GALILEO MINING (ASX: GAL)
The Fraser Range project covers exploration licences totalling 602 Km2 in the Albany-Fraser Orogen.
Galileo’s Fraser Range project is located across two areas – the northern Kitchener zone which hosts the company’s Lantern and Nightmarch prospects and the southern Yardilla zone, which holds the Empire Rose and Yardilla South prospects.
The project is well positioned within the nickel-copper bearing Fraser Range Zone, with the Nova Bollinger and Silver Knight deposits located between the two Galileo-controlled areas.
GEM have been conducting ongoing MLEM surveys extensively for Galileo in the Fraser Range using the High Temp SQUID.
