Very Low Frequency (VLF) surveys are widely used in mineral exploration to identify conductive structures that may control mineralization. Faults, shear zones, graphitic horizons, and sulphide-bearing units can all produce conductive responses that appear as linear anomalies in VLF data. For early-stage programs, these surveys provide a fast and efficient way to screen ground and identify structural corridors worth investigating.
RPM conducts VLF surveys designed to produce clean, interpretation-ready datasets that integrate easily with existing exploration data, complimenting magnetometer deliverables. With extensive field experience across Newfoundland and Labrador, RPM plans surveys with a strong understanding of the region’s operating environment, enabling efficient field execution and delivering complete, dependable datasets for exploration teams.
The result is a clear view of conductive structures across the property, helping geologists identify prospective trends and focus follow-up exploration more effectively.

What are the benefits of performing a VLF survey with RPM?
A VLF survey gives you a more actionable picture of the conductive features (non-magnetic material) that often coincide with mineralized systems or structures.
By highlighting conductive features like faults, shear zones, and sulphide-bearing units, VLF helps your team quickly identify the structural corridors most likely to host mineralization. This means less time guessing where to focus, and more confidence in where to invest follow-up work.
Just as importantly, VLF data enhances the value of your existing datasets. When integrated with magnetics, it helps key features “pop” more clearly. This brings subtle trends into focus and improves interpretation. The result is a more complete understanding of your property, allowing you to prioritize targets and move forward with greater certainty.
With RPM, VLF and Mag surveys are collected simultaneously, allowing our clients to gain these benefits for a minimal added cost to the overall project.
