Go straight to as far as you could go on the first day. Then study what you see against what you expect. Plan the next day to go through at least 50% of the area. Then study what you see against what you expect. Call someone to discuss your findings and ask the next moves for the remaining time you got. Call another one for another opinion. Make final plan. Go throught it for a final run. Then study what you got against expectations. Go home.

Of course, your equipment selection is obviously important. When purchasing GIS/GNSS GPS related hardware/software, I’d recommend: - choose a equipment vendor that offers training and post-sales support - choose a vendor that allows an easy way to contact in-the-field technical support (or remote access) - invest in up-front training (you’ll be glad you did later) - RENT the latest equipment, platforms, software, etc and see what works the best for you and your workflow - THEN invest.

Start by having a detailed WBS, do a desktop study before you start and develop a checklist of what is needed to ensure nothing is left behind. In addition, use qualified people who know the lessons learned from similar projects in the past and can ensure that data collection will be done to the required quality and on time. Furthermore, If the work will trigger the need for a specialist contractor, use the best contractor to ensure you will achieve results without delay or risk.

Every day we send clients into the field armed with satellite mineral resonance tomography. This technology accurately pinpoints the sought mineralization zones with 93-98% accuracy. Armed with trimble and a good xrf, the client knows exactly where the deposits lie, where the veins are and where exactly to test. This of course assuming your looking for surface indicators that maybe associated with placer,alluvial and near surface occurrences. Deeper indications may require compact drill rig to gain a few core samples of the zone if data indicates just below surface depositions. Satellite MRT has been changing the way initial mineral detection is being done, green technology, accurate and dependable results first time, every time.
