Adrok’s Atomic Dielectric Resonance (ADR) technology provides data on and locations of subsurfacehydrocarbons and minerals, prior to costly drilling programmes, and it offers Predrilling Virtual Logging services.  The arrangement with Teck will allow the firm to expand its commercial and technological expertise and is expected to create up to 10 new jobs.

Dr Gordon Stove (right)  Adrok MD who run the family company with his son Colin (left) said, “We intend to grow the company rapidly next year. The funds will allow us to increase our provision of services to clients whilst concentrating on increasing global demand within the mining and oil and gas sectors.

“We look to advance our technology by producing next generation on and offshore systems which will generate new revenue opportunities. In many cases it is expected that our service will reduce the need for extensive drilling, dramatically decreasing both the time and costs incurred between discovery and initial production.

“That this investment has come from one of our existing customers is a testimony to Adrok’s technical ability and expertise.”

Teck tested the ADR technology at their exploration properties in Ireland and collected exploration and geotechnical data at their their exploration properties in Ireland and collected exploration and geotechnical data at their underground Pend Oreille mine in Washington State, USA.

“We look forward to working closely with Adrok to further develop mineral exploration and geotechnical applications for Adrok’s ADR technology,” said (
