| Abstract(in English) | We briefly report on the research and development of a TDEM data acquisition system (SQUITEM) by JOGMEC using a highly sensitive high-temperature superconductor (HTS) SQUID vector magnetometer cooled by liquid nitrogen, which is suitable for mineral exploration. JOGMEC has achieved stable operation of all three channels, and has obtained good reproducibility of SQUID data and correlation between the output signals of the reference induction coils and the derivatives of the SQUID signals in TDEM field tests. SQUITEM meets high requirements for slew rate (6.8mT/s), dynamic range (100dB) and bandwidth (DC-100kHz). It offers deeper penetration of depth than the conventional induction coil system because it can record the step response that decreases with time slower than the impulse response of the induction coil system. In 2005, JOGMEC conducted the field trial over a nickel sulphide deposit in Australia. SQUITEM could detect the conductive deposit concealed by a thick conductive overburden although a conventional coil system could not detect. |
