Beneath the pit floor, the radar indicates additional inclined strata more than 30 m deep. In a test to compare different antenna frequencies (50, 100, and 200 MHz), using a 400 V transmitter, 50 MHz antennas are capable of detecting gravel facies in excess of 30 m, whereas signal loss for the 100 and 200 MHz antennas occurs below 23 and 17 m, respectively, though providing higher resolution.
