Dryden Gold Engages ALS Goldspot for LiDAR Survey Over Dryden Gold Project

Oct 21, 2024


Dryden Gold has partnered with ALS Goldspot Discoveries to conduct an airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Ortho-Photogrammetry Survey across the entirety of its Dryden Gold Project. The survey is set to take place in October 2024, offering high-resolution, three-dimensional maps that will enhance the company’s understanding of its land package.

LiDAR technology, increasingly utilized in mineral exploration, works by emitting laser pulses toward the ground from an aircraft or drone. These pulses bounce back, providing detailed topographic models that can reveal subtle geological features such as structural breaks, zones of alteration, and outcrops. For Dryden Gold, the survey will assist in delineating these features, allowing the company to design more focused sampling and mapping programs.

“We are pleased to partner with ALS Goldspot to carry out this LiDAR survey across our entire Dryden Gold Project,” said Maura J. Kolb, President of Dryden Gold. “This advanced technology will give us detailed insights into the landscape and help us better understand the geology of our property. With this data, we can more accurately plan our exploration efforts, focusing effectively on the areas with the most exploration potential. We’re excited about the opportunities this survey will unlock as we continue to advance the Dryden Gold Project.”

The survey will be flown using ALS Goldspot’s M-PASS platform, featuring a Riegl VQ780II-S LiDAR scanner and an UltraCam Falcon Mark II photogrammetry camera. It will operate at 1600 meters above ground level, producing a range of deliverables, including classified LiDAR data, contour intervals, digital surface and terrain models, and a stitched RGB orthomosaic.
