Frequently
Asked Questions
Drilling is where exploration capital is made or lost. A Rosor airborne survey reduces the uncertainty before that commitment, so your team drills into targets backed by data.
Magnetics map structures that control mineralization and indicator minerals like magnetite and pyrrhotite. Radiometrics maps alteration zones where bedrock is exposed. Electromagnetics detects the conductive bodies that indicate base metal systems.
By ranking anomalies on their geophysical and geological context, your team gets a prioritized target list built on data. The result is a disciplined drill program focused on the intersections most likely to carry grade.Resolution is key in geophysics. Signal strength weakens with distance from the source, so flying lower captures sharper, more detailed data than manned aircraft at higher altitude. UAV platforms also mobilize faster, survey remote terrain safely, and leave a smaller footprint with no fuel caches or large field crews. The result is exploration-grade data with operational flexibility traditional programs were never designed to provide.
Geophysics is not a gold detector. It detects the structures and signatures that accompany gold mineralization. For most exploration programs, magnetics and radiometrics form a powerful, complementary foundation.
Magnetics detects iron-rich indicator minerals deposited alongside gold and maps the faults, intrusions, and contacts that control mineralization. Radiometrics maps surface potassium enrichment, a well-established indicator of hydrothermal alteration. Together they help your team distinguish rock types and hone in on alteration zones. In exposed or weathered terrains, hyperspectral adds further detail by mapping alteration minerals at high resolution.Base metal and sulphide systems have strong conductivity signatures, which means electromagnetic surveys is the primary tool for detecting them. Sulphide minerals like chalcopyrite in copper and pentlandite in nickel are conductive and respond distinctly to EM.
Rosor's UAV-based semi-airborne EM flies lower and tighter than manned platforms, improving sensitivity to smaller or deeper targets. Flown alongside magnetics, it lets your team separate genuine sulphide conductors from graphite or saline groundwater that can mimic them. For copper porphyry, magnetics maps the intrusive architecture while EM detects the sulphides, giving a full picture before drilling.Yes. Rosor's platforms carry multiple sensors at once, grouped by the flight conditions each method performs best in. LiDAR, photogrammetry, and hyperspectral fly higher to cover more ground per day without losing resolution. Magnetics, radiometrics, and electromagnetics fly low to capture the strongest signal, on a separate platform optimized for low-altitude collection.
Each sensor is flown at the altitude it performs best at, and because all data is acquired over the same area, your team receives a coherent, co-registered package ready to interpret together. One mobilization, multiple methods, each collected under the conditions that maximize its value.Rosor supports the full workflow from data acquisition to geophysical interpretation. Raw data requires real expertise to process correctly. The files alone do not tell you where to drill.
Our geophysicists process every dataset through a quality-assured workflow of filtering, levelling, and enhancement, then interpret it to identify anomalies, characterize their geological origin, and rank targets by priority. What your team receives is not a folder of files but a decision-ready package: processed grids, anomaly maps, a survey report, and a geological interpretation with prioritized targets and next steps. We are also available after delivery to walk your team through the findings and support planning for drilling.Identifying and prioritizing drill targets is one of the core purposes of a Rosor survey. The data and interpretation we deliver lets your team rank anomalies, understand their geological character, and make defensible decisions on where to focus ground programs and drill metres. A data-driven approach reduces exploration risk and documents the justification behind every decision.
For NI 43-101 compliance, Rosor collects and documents data to professional exploration standards. It serves as the geophysical component of your technical disclosure and can be incorporated into reports prepared by your qualified person. We recommend aligning your QP with Rosor during survey design so documentation and formats meet your reporting obligations from the outset.Yes, and this is one of the most misunderstood uses of LiDAR in exploration.
LiDAR fires a very high volume of laser pulses. Some find natural gaps between leaves and reach the ground, revealing the true terrain beneath vegetation. The laser does not pass through trees, but enough pulses find gaps to reconstruct the ground below the canopy.
The result is a precise terrain model showing exactly where bedrock is exposed, the outcrops your geologists need to sample. This is critical for targets like lithium pegmatites and rare earth deposits that have no geophysical expression. You cannot find them with a magnetometer or EM, but LiDAR shows your field team exactly where to sample. It also sharpens other datasets through terrain corrections and reveals lineaments and fault traces hidden beneath forest cover.Yes. Several of Rosor's core capabilities translate directly into pipeline corridor selection, route optimization, and infrastructure siting. LiDAR surveys generate high-resolution terrain models for slope analysis, drainage crossings, and geotechnical hazards like unstable slopes or karst. UAV platforms survey long corridors efficiently with minimal disturbance. Photogrammetry documents the surface condition of existing pipelines, supporting drone pipeline inspection and integrity programs. Magnetics identifies buried metallic infrastructure and geological faults, while hyperspectral supports surface and land cover mapping.
Getting started is straightforward. Reach out through our website contact form, email info@rosor.ca, or call (905) 401-4257. Our team will follow up to discuss your project and design a drone survey approach tailored to your objectives.
To scope it accurately, it helps to know your project location and approximate survey area, your target minerals and geological objectives, the terrain and any access constraints, the survey methods you are considering, and your timeline including any drill program or reporting deadline. Existing geological maps, historical survey data, or drill results help us design a more targeted program.
