Terraquest, founded in 1984, specializes in
airborne geophysical surveys, geophysical consulting, data
interpretation, and enhancement. We’ve flown nearly 1500 surveys from as
small as two claim blocks, to as large as 250,000 line kilometers. They
have included various combinations of airborne magnetic, gamma
spectrometry and electromagnetics.
-
Our senior crew has flown on every continent.
-
We have flown for governments, major producers,
exploration companies, consultants and private investors.
-
Our clients have employed us to search for
precious metals, base metals, diamonds, hydrocarbons, uranium,
aggregates and even water.

-
We own four complete airborne geophysical
systems for use on fixed-wing aircraft and a portable, lightweight,
easy-to-install single sensor magnetometer stinger system for use in
light-turbine helicopters.
-
We were among the very first, back in ’89, to
develop and commercially operate a horizontal gradiometer system and
also among the first to recognize the exceptional quality of data
available by flying slowly at very low altitudes.
-
We have a complete inventory of hardware and software
components, including magnetic base station, magnetometer
processors, GPS receivers, and colour-video cameras that you would
expect your survey company to own.
-
We’ve recently consolidated our offices into one location,
near the Buttonville Airport, in order to serve our customers more
effectively.

Two fixed wing, specially modified, long range
aircraft: a twin engine Navajo and a single engine Cessna 206. Both
are equipped with three, split beam cesium vapour sensor
magnetometers to provide detailed horizontal gradient magnetics.
|
 Our twin-engine Piper Navajo is equipped with long-range tanks
and configured with horizontal gradiometer, digital Scintillometer and
digital video flight path recovery system. This is the aircraft we use
for beta testing our electromagnetic reconnaissance system.

|
 Our single-engine Cessna 206 is particularly valuable for smaller
projects and low-level survey work such as exploration for
Navajo, it is equipped with split-beam, cesium-vapour-sensor
magnetometers for detailed horizontal-gradient magnetics. |

 Our twin engine turbine Beachcraft King Air is ideally
suited for large projects, particularly in rugged terrain
where steep climb gradients are required. It is IFR equipped
with twin PT6-20 turbines that ensure maximum speed on ferry
as well as low speed capabilities while flying survey. The
King air is equipped with the long range tanks capable of
carrying approximately six hours of Jet fuel for extremely
cost effective surveys, heavy duty tires, cargo doors, and
full avionics. Like the Navajo, it is equipped with
split-beam, cesium-vapour-sensor magnetometers for detailed
horizontal-gradient magnetics as well as radiometrics. |
A single sensor mag stinger was
designed and built by Aerocomp – Advanced Composite
Structures and is available for operations globally. The
Stinger is certified for use on all ASTAR 350 A and Bs, as
well as the Long Ranger helicopter platforms.
The Stinger may be configured with any
of the following data acquisition equipment;
-
Magnetics
-
Radiometrics
-
Flight Path Recorder
-
XDS VLF- EM
