Georadar Survey for Nickel Laterite Exploration

Figure 1. Subsurface interpretation indicating limonite and saprolite layers. These two minerals are important for nickel exploration as they are both components of nickel laterite ore and are a primary source of nickel.

Figure 2. Saprolite and bedrock layers.
