Having a geochemical or geophysical anomaly is not enough. You NEED to have a space for your deposit. This will help you concentrate your exploration efforts on places where there is the possibility of a deposit. This method will help you concentrate your exploration on the most prospective targets, thus increasing your productivity.

deposit?

12. How does it works?
• Selection of the area and lineament analysis
• 3D modeling and rose diagrams
• Data processing
• Graphic representation

13. Selection of the area

14. Lineament analysis

15. Let us see a practical example

16. Main lineaments

17. Some secondary lineaments

18. Some circular lineaments

19. Combining lineaments

20. Counting the lineaments

25. Now we add other sources of information
Magnetic Gravity
Radiometry
IP
Geochemistry Satelite image

26. Correct Incorrect
The studied area must be completely cover by the data

38. Who are we?
Ricardo Valls, B.Sc., M.Sc., P. Geo., CEO and Director of Fenix
Geoconsult Ltd., is a professional geologist with over thirty years
in the mining industry, He has extensive geological, geochemical,
and mining experience, managerial skills, and a solid background
in research techniques, and training of technical personnel. He is
fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Russian. He has been
involved in various projects world-wide (Canada, Africa, Russia,
Indonesia, the Caribbean and Central and South America).
Projects included from regional reconnaissance to local mapping,
diamond drilling and RC-drilling programs, open pit and
underground mapping and sampling, geochemical sampling and interpretation, and several
exploration techniques pertaining to the search for diamonds, PGM, gold, nickel, silver, base
metals, industrial minerals, oil & gas, and other magmatic, hydrothermal, porphyritic, VMS and
SEDEX ore deposits. Special strengths are related to acquisition of new properties, geochemical
and geological studies, management and organization, geomathematical analysis and modelling,
compositional data analysis, structural studies, database design, QA&QC studies, exploration
studies and writing technical reports. P.Geo. registered in the province of Ontario.

39. Who are we?
Dr. Vadim Galkin, Ph.D. Formerly Full Professor of the Moscow State
University in Russia. Since 1999 he resides in Toronto, Canada. He has
worked for Falconbridge Exploration, Ltd., EnerSource Mapping, Inc.,
and Goldsat Mining, Inc. as a Geoscience Consultant. Worked several
years as a geological researcher in the University of Toronto. He is a
structural geologist consultant contracted by the Fenix geoconsult Ltd.
for the lineament analysis and 3D stress simulation (which won him a
semi-finalist place on the GoldCorp Challange) and currently works
