Exploring Porphyry Copper in the Chilean Andes

Chile's continental magmatic arc offers ideal conditions for the formation of porphyry copper. However, discovery of new deposits remains a challenge as traditional geophysical methods struggle to characterize hydrothermal alteration anomalies, especially in remote, mountainous terrain. ExoSphere merges satellite connectivity, Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT), and AI to deliver real-time 3D subsurface imaging up to 4km in depth, delivering an unprecedented view of the exploration search area. Find out how explorers are using ExoSphere to enhance drill planning accuracy, while saving time. reducing costs, and deploying resources to opportunities faster.

Potential targets lie under younger cover Drilling is the only source of samples, and is expensive	Magnetic resolution decreases with increasing cover thickness Groundwaters may interfere with electrical geophysics	Accurately image structure and lithological packages to depths of 4km, depending on Geode spacing
Minerals system structure	Minerals system structure	Minerals system structure
Basement structure may represent fluid pathways Upthrown basement highs can be important chemical and physical traps	Potential field data is 2D Uncertainty about depth of features	Imaging of basement topography in 3D, including upthrown blocks Structures within basement that coincide with alteration show as low or intermediate velocity zones
Hydrothermal alteration	Hydrothermal alteration	Hydrothermal alteration
Alteration zones contain copper mineralization but are difficult to detect	Conductivity can occur in regions without significant alteration Magnetic response to alteration is variable, with low magnetic responses also linked to primary rock type	Clear relationship between alteration and low velocity zones Able to focus exploration on co-located zones of low velocity and high conductivity ANT can resolve structure within basement that can be linked to conductivity zones
