GDD develops and manufactures a wide range of electromagnetic and induced polarization geophysical instruments including the Beep Mat. The Beep Mat is an efficient, user friendly, inexpensive electromagnetic survey that can be pulled by a man, a snowmobile or an ATV up to 25 km/h. The company states that with the Beep Mat a company can sample as many conductive outcrops and floats in one season as a company can drill over many years. The Beep Mat saves a company the cost of hundreds of sterile drill holes helping a company to focus on and invest in targets that deserve attention. The Beep Mat detects magnetic susceptibil- ity and relative EM conductivity as well as GPS position. It can detect conductive and magnetic outcrops or boulders hidden under up to 3 metres of overburden enabling the testing of a promising horizon without the need to remove the overburden. The Beep Mat provides fast results, is shock resistant, portable and weatherproof. The CAT S61 Smartphone The CAT S61 Smartphone is a tough, drop-proof and shock- proof phone made by a company who builds some of the most rugged machines used in industry. The 4,500mAh battery of the Cat S61 gives you more than enough battery to last over a day of use. They are built to Military Specifications and come with an integrated thermal imaging camera, indoor air quality sensor and a laser assisted measuring tool. They are reinforced with a die cast frame and have been drop tested onto concrete from up to six feet. The phones are water resistant and can perform even in the wettest of environments. The phones screens are made with scratch resistant Corning® Gorilla® glass. Rugged accessories like earphones, a phone holster and power bank are available. Chesterton – Equipment Protection Chesterton, headquartered in Groveland Massachusetts, makes seals, packing, lubricants, industrial coatings and other products to protect machinery that takes a serious beating. One of their products, ARC I BX1 RC, is used to protect and extend the life of mining and ore processing equipment such as bucket wheel excava- tors, discharge plates, hoppers/chutes, vibrating screen decks, mill feeders, slurry pumps and piping, and hydrocyclones. ARC I BX1 RC is Chesterton's Rapid Curing, 100% solids, impact-resistant, ceramic-reinforced, epoxy/urethane hybrid coating for severe abrasive wear and impact service. The company states that It is easily applied by trowel and provides a longer lasting alternative to rubber lining ceramic tiles and high nickel and chrome alloys saying, "Whether you are dealing with the effects of abrasive slurries or dry matter, ARC I BX1 RC will protect and extend the life of your process equipment, reducing the effects of abrasion, erosion, and corrosion."
