Radiometric Surveys
Radiometric Surveys detect and map gamma rays, and can be performed on the ground, in the air, or in a borehole. Airborne gamma-ray spectrometry or radiometric surveying for mineral exploration measures the gamma-rays that are emitted from naturally occurring radioactive isotopes that are found in rocks and soils near the surface. The most abundant of these radioactive isotopes are potassium (K 40 ), uranium (U 238 ), and thorium (Th 232 ).
A gamma-ray spectrometer is the device used for measuring the distribution and intensity of gamma ray radiation. Typically used in airborne radiometric surveying are RS-500 spectrometers manufactured by Radiation Solutions Inc. These are recognized as the most advanced airborne spectrometer systems available, and include an on-board computer which allows real-time signal processing analysis, automatic gain control for individual crystals, multi-channel analysis and full spectrum recording.
