Abstract
Exploration play models are employed by mineral and hydrocarbon exploration companies to establish and help explain the geological setting of their targeted resource. Such models are routinely enhanced through the deployment of geophysical technologies to better improve the understanding of the geological setting and size, shape and depths of the target. FTG Gravity data offers an additional layer of information to consider the fortunes of many exploration play models from salt, fault block closure and igneous intrusion models to more mainstream fault mapping. Many have been confirmed or tweaked through direct involvement of the FTG data into their exploration workflow and are a testament to the acceptance of this innovative technology by leading exploration<br>companies. This paper will present data examples demonstrating the usefulness of FTG Gravity when investigating the prospectivity of exploration play models. Examples from survey work targeting fault block structural closures and igneous intrusives will be<br>shown.
