SGL Survey Uncovers Critical Minerals Potential in MaineNovember 2022 - An airborne magnetic and radiometric survey flown by Sander Geophysics in northern Maine has resulted in the discovery of critical minerals that include the rare earth elements niobium and zirconium, after follow-up groundwork. The findings have been published in the journal, Economic Geology and are summarized in a recent USGS press release. As reported in the press release, "The project has resulted in rewriting of the geologic and tectonic history of the region, and the Earth MRI airborne geophysical survey greatly helps the bedrock mapping and assessment of mineral potential”.

SGL Flying a Large Fixed Wing and Helicopter Survey over the Northeastern USAugust 2022 - Sander Geophysics is pleased to have been selected to fly a large magnetic and radiometric fixed wing and helicopter survey over the northeastern US (includes northern Maryland, southern Pennsylvania, northeastern West Virginia and northernmost Virginia). This survey will be flown between 300 to 1,000 feet above the ground as part of the USGS Earth Mapping Resource Initiative (Earth MRI) project. This nationwide collaboration between the USGS and state geologists will enhance the fundamental knowledge of the geologic framework of the area and according to the USGS the benefits provided include the ability to evaluate natural resources, groundwater and earthquake hazards.
