Solutions for Mining
Ore Bodies, Lithology, Density, Porosity & Fracture Properties
Geophysical logs provide petrophysical property information important to exploration geophysicists, geologists, mine managers, and multi-disciplinary professionals involved in exploration, mine-site production and development, mine de-watering, and many other mining industry demands. Mount Sopris geophysical logging tools have been demonstrated in a wide variety of geologic environments often found in an exploration setting and have proven useful in geologic interpretations and in-situ mineral evaluation.
Mount Sopris has a long history providing slimline geophysical logging tools for the mining industry. For more information please navigate to our Library Page.
