Discovery International is now using the Jessy Deep SQUID sensor with SMARTemV and SMARTem24 receivers from
Electromagnetic Imaging Technology (EMIT) of Perth, and highpowered transmitters from
Phoenix Geophysics (Toronto) and
Zonge International (Tucson, Ariz.), in deep exploration for highly conductive targets.
Survey work has expanded from the original base
of operations in the Athabasca basin of northern Saskatchewan to the rest of Canada and overseas to Kazakhstan and Portugal.
A test survey in 2010 over
