Found this link today on the induced polarisation survey beginning late march.

Mining Companies Increasingly Use MT Methods
As the search for new ore deposits moves ever deeper, both major and junior mining companies are increasingly using MT and AMT for both brownfields and greenfields exploration. INCO's 1991 proof-of-concept study in Sudbury, Ontario started this trend with two AMT sites that sensed a 1750 meter-deep nickel deposit. Falconbridge followed with a feasibility study in 1996 that accurately located two Ni-Cu mineralized zones at ~800 m and ~1350 m.
Since then, Falconbridge has acquired over 2000 MT/AMT sites in the Sudbury basin and elsewhere. In 1999, INCO acquired ~1500 MT/AMT sites at the Voisey's Bay nickel deposit discovered in 1996. Today, thousands of MT/AMT sites are measured every year by worldwide companies, demonstrating the value that industry players place on these techniques.
Wonder what the sp will do when the results of this survey shows up. With Lac des Iles only 50klms away,mmb could skyrocket.
