Description

The borehole logging group of the CSIRO Division of Mineral Engineering have successfully developed and tested a borehole logging system based on the spectrometric gamma-gamma method. The system was tested in coal, iron ore and manganese deposits. Prototype and commercial equipment were designed and constructed. Commercialization of the system is in progress through collaboration with the mining industry, and through licensing agreements. The probes were specially designed for satisfactory operation in narrow boreholes. (author)
