I-Pulse - Mineral division

Technology for metals, metals for technology.

We partner with mineral exploration companies to accumulate a portfolio of highly prospective mineral exploration rights, through our subsidiary, High Power Exploration (HPX). We then leverage our technologies to accelerate the discovery of minerals and sub-surface structures at depths unreachable by conventional induced polarization and electromagnetic technologies currently in use by the industry.

We also invest in minerals-dependent, high-growth technologies (see VRB Energy, below) that require vertical integration with mining assets, to leverage our ability to explore for secure and low-cost raw material supplies. We are at the intersection of metals and technology.

The Typhoon™ data acquisition system is the most accurate and powerful induced polarization and electromagnetic geophysical survey technology available to mineral explorers today.

Deeper, faster, better

Typhoon™ technology provides better quality primary signal, allowing for higher resolution, larger scale and deeper detection than existing technology.

Geophysical methods have been used for many years in a variety of exploration situations but Typhoon can see deeper, survey faster and provide better results than existing solutions.

We are partnered with Computational Geosciences Inc. to optimize survey design and processing to ensure that the predicted physical property models have the highest accuracy possible.

CORDOBA MINERALS

HPX holds 66% of Cordoba Minerals (TSX-V: CDB; OTCQX: CDBMF), a junior exploration company developing the San Matias Project in Colombia. San Matias contains several known areas of copper-gold mineralization and is ideally located in flat topography, near significant infrastructure, and large-scale, producing open-pit mines. Initial inferred resources at Alacran are 53.5 million tonnes of 0.70% copper and 0.37 grams per tonne gold.

TINAJAS

Located in the Andean cordillera in Peru, where Paleocene porphyry mineralization hosts large deposits including Spence (Chile), Cerro Verde (Peru), Tia Maria (Peru), and Cerro Colorado (Chile), the Tinajas Project is an exciting prospect. HPX holds the option to earn up to 65% of the project from Teck Peru and has aggressive exploration plans for 2017.
