Technical Glossary Diamond dilling (core) boreholes: the method of obtaining rock core by drilling boreholes with a diamond impregnated bit Airborne geophysics:. the practical application, from an aircraft, of physical methods (such as seismic, gravitational, magnetic, electrical/electromagnetic and radiometric) to measure the physical properties of rocks, and in particular, to detect the measurable physical differences between rocks that contain ore deposits Aeromagnetic: airborne geophyics using magnetic methods Radiometric:- the measurement of the radioactivity of rocks Mineralogical testwork : the study, usually under microscope, of the nature and characteristics of the minerals that are present in rocks
