Future of Mineral Exploration with Advanced Gravimetry.
Next generation portable field gravimeters for SMG Gravity bring a change to mineral exploration, resource evaluation, and geophysical surveying. Our latest gravimeter technology utilises our patented Vibrating Beam Accelerometer (VBA) MEMS providing high sensitivity measurements in a robust design to ensure efficient and risk free meaurements of subsurface density. We have taken away much of the complexity in gravity surveying so that field teams can quickly and reliably collect data for the detection of ore bodies, hydrocarbons and structural faults.

Advancing MEMS Gravimetry for Geophysical Surveys and Resource Exploration
SMG is a leader in the development of MEMS accelerometers. Utilising this unique technology we can now offer a new generation of gravimeters for geophysical surveys and mineral exploration. Our technology offers a compact, high sensitive design for geophysical surveying and which can help to create a detailed subsurface model for resource identification and risk reduction in more complex survey techniques.
Portable & Field Application
The light weight, durability and simple interface make it possible to use the instrument in any terrain without complex training.
Improved Subsurface Imaging
GAIA-FIELD detects microGal changes in density related to ore bodies, hydrocarbon accumulations and geothermal features.
Cost Effective & Productive
GAIA-Field has been optimised for field workflow efficiency. Fast, reliable with simple quality conrtol indicators ensure cost per station can be reduced. Our unique automatic gimbal and web based user interface dramitically reduce stations times and reduce the chances of field failures. Optional live data flow back to geophysical engineers presents the opportunity for live in field survey changes to more closely assess area of interest and ignore others.
Automated Analysis
Live onboard corrections for earth tide, drift, temperature and noise. Live graphical display of gravity plot and station plots.

Why use VBA MEMS based Gravimetry for mineral exploration
MEMS gravimeters are a new technology for mineral exploration that provides light, efficient, and high spatial resolution alternative to seismic, electromagnetic and resistivity surveys.
Non-Invasive Exploration
Seismic and electromagnetic methods are destructive, our VBA MEMS gravimeters are non-invasive and therefore ideally suited for initial screening.
Portable and Low Power
Conventional gravimeters are larger, fragile and have complex setup and operation. Our modern design focuses on ease of use and robust performance in the field.
Automated Data Processing and Artificial Intelligence Application
SMG Gravity is committed to not only improving field data collection but also utilising modern techniques for simpler and faster data analysis and modelling.
Industry Use Cases.
Ore Body Identification and Spatial Distribution
Locate and define the high density minerals such as gold, copper, iron and other metals and minerals with higher precision.
Hydrocarbon & Geothermal Energy Exploration
Discover oil, gas and geothermal resources by measuring changes in density of subsurface formations.
Structural and Fault Analysis
Enhance the geological maps by determining the faults, fractures and underground rocks to guide in the extraction of resources.
Environmental and Sustainability Impacts
Lessen the effect on the environment through minimizing the number of drills used, proper site selection and increasing the recovery of the resources.
