Fugro Airborne Surveys (Fugro) is the world’s largest airborne geophysical survey company and undertakes high resolution airborne magnetic, electromagnetic, radiometric and gravity surveys from fixed wing aircraft and helicopter platforms. The company owns a fleet of 40 survey aircraft and operates worldwide from centres in Canada, South Africa, Brazil and Australia. Fugro has been offering multi-disciplinary geophysical exploration solutions in Africa for over 30 years.
In Africa, during the past 5 years, Fugro has flown and processed over eight million line kilometres of airborne geophysical survey data (Angola, Ghana, Mali, Sudan, Guinea, Namibia, Botswana, Niger, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Madagascar, Tanzania, Uganda, Senegal etc.) for mining and oil exploration companies and aid organisations, such as, the World Bank, the European Union and the African Development Bank. Many of these projects have incorporated geologically relevant interpretation of the survey data.

Booth 8 Inkaba yeAfrica
A German-SA collaborative Earth Science initiative that is both multidisciplinary and intercultural, dovetailing next-generation science and technology with a strong training and capacity-building component that is aligned with the Research and Development (R&D) strategies of both nations (DST/NRF x BMBF/DFG). Three teams of earth scientists from leading institutes in both countries are taking on the global challenges of climate change, sustainable resources, clean water and energy -pressing issues all related to the dynamics of Earth Systems. It can only be solved by understanding the complex interactions amongst the solid earth, biosphere, atmosphere and oceans. This will require educating a new generation of young scientists trained in holistic earth science. SA's geologic superlatives, its enormous mineral wealth, position in the climate engine of the southern oceans and its growing human resource of land-use and energy, makes this an ideal natural laboratory and a vital testing ground for innovative science in aid of society.

Explore deeper and smarter with 3D Pulse EM
Crone Geophysics & Exploration Ltd. provides worldwide field surveys and manufactures the Pulse EM (or PEM) system—the leading time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) system for surface and borehole mineral exploration (see Geophysical Instrumentation). With a staff of experienced operators, geophysicists and manufacturing personnel, Crone can offer survey design, data collection, processing and interpretation with an unmatched level of support from the people who built the equipment. Pulse EM can be used to detect any well-connected, conductive structure in the earth and is used extensively in the search for base metal deposits. It can also detect related conductors in gold, uranium, and diamond exploration. Exploration costs can be significantly reduced with Crone’s 3D borehole surveys, where large conductors are detected within a 150 m radius around the hole, and an accurate direction to any off-hole conductors is provided. Conductor orientation, distance and size can also be interpreted through numerical modeling and experience.
