Emerging Technology and Processes Utilising Deep Magnetotelluric Resistivity Imaging for Regional and Local Exploration, Brownfields and Mine Planning

This paper reviews the application of the magnetotellurics method for deep earth
imaging, specifically its recent use to better understand original mineral emplacement
processes. Resistivity information from newer innovative applications of the technology for nearer surface imaging also provides valuable insights into near surface structure, which in some cases has led directly to new discoveries.
