GeoResonance claims to use a nuclear reactor and Kirlian photography to convert ordinary satellite or aerial images into mineral maps. The same Kirlian photography used to record the supposed ‘life force’ aura in parapsychology experiments in the ‘70s. They claim 100% effectiveness. It’s total woo with enough pseudo-science bafflegab to impress the rubes looking for uranium or oil in their farm fields.



Their “technology’ patents trace back to a shady Ukrainian Geophysical group (transcomplex.uk.com) who claims that photographic images contain a broad spectrum of frequencies outside of visible light, all the way up to the terahertz band, and some of those frequencies correspond to the magnetic resonance frequencies for various minerals. They even suggest this works for digital satellite images, which aren’t even recorded on film.



They make a negative film from an aerial image of the area they want to survey, wafer it against a thin-film of the mineral they are searching for and a plate of X-ray film, then they expose the stack to radiation in a nuclear reactor. Their theory seems to be that gamma and alpha radiation passes through the negative and somehow stimulates the film to release its broad electromagnetic spectrum, which is filtered by the test layer and somehow only the frequencies that match the nuclear magnetic resonant frequency of the mineral passes through and is recorded on the X-ray film. Then they treat the X-ray film using a high voltage Kirlian field, and viola, a magic image showing the pattern of that mineral under the ground.



Film and digital images do not contain multi-spectral layers, they are just RGB amplitude values of the total energy in whatever spectrum band the camera is sensitive to, it cannot be separated out into individual wavelength contributions later on.



This is just dowsing with a high-tech sounding wrapper. The "scientists" listed in the patents have no credentials or papers to their name that I can find. The company's listed projects don't seem to lead to anything. I'm sure their process goes nowhere near a reactor, they just take some Google Earth image and airbrush a mineral map (or airplane outline) on it.



They also have a field work process where they can supposedly map minerals in 3D by exciting a mineral sample with a laser to generate some kind of UHF signal which they aim into the ground, then they do a raster type walk-around with a receiver to map the resonant responses of the minerals underground. I'm sure they charge more than a few bucks for this service.
