A key component of EXTECH will be a high resolution seismic line, that crosses the McArthur River deposit, and two subparallel flanking lines.

Purposes:

1. further understand the environment of emplacement of deposits;
2. demonstrate and optimize the methods for direct orebody detection using seismic reflection methods.
