As part of the inventory of French subsurface mineral resources, teams from BRGM and its subsidiary BRGM Explore, including French Guiana operators familiar with difficult-to-access areas such as the Voltaire Falls sector, are taking geochemical samples which will then be analysed in the laboratory. Our scientists are also conducting research into the geology of some of France's oldest rocks. Follow them as they explore this exceptional terrain!
