LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, uses laser pulses to help generate precise, three dimensional information about the characteristics of the earth's surface. It offers several advantages over other surveying methods, like the ability to penetrate tree canopy, making it extremely well suited to mineral exploration. Using LiDAR enables exploration teams to better assess surface features, and plays a critical role in dictating the next steps in exploration.
Until recently LiDAR surveying relied on human-operated flights by plane or helicopter, making it a costly and time consuming exploration method. By harnessing advancements in drone technology, the cost of completing a LiDAR survey has been reduced by approximately 80%. This is a major step forward for JSHG, our partners and the industry, and will enable more investment into property exploration.
On top of the substantial savings, drone-operated LiDAR also produces higher resolution imaging versus human operated LiDAR flights. This is because drones are able to operate at much lower altitudes, thereby placing the scanning device several factors closer to the surface being surveyed.
While JSHG is confident that this survey was the first of its kind to receive approval by MENDM, it isn't the first time the company has commissioned this innovative technology.
Prior to the McCool property survey, drone-enabled LiDAR was first used to complete a survey at the company's Seymour
Located approximately 60 Kilometers north of
Using the LiDAR survey results, JSHG's geological team, headed by Chief Geologist
'The lithium occurs in pegmatite related to the lenticular hornblende tonalite and granite batholith. The pegmatite deposits occur as:
Structural zones related to the contact of the granite and mafic volcanics.
North-South structural zones within the granite.
On the Seymour Extension property, a
An exploration program of prospecting and sampling is recommended.'
Regarding the LiDAR survey,
Conducting this LiDAR survey by drone comes at an exciting time for JSHG. In addition to this provincial first, the mineral exploration company recently named Peter D'Jay as an Independent Director, launched a brand new website and announced the acquisition of a new potential gold property located in northern
