Helicopter over the Harz: On a treasure hunt at 1,000 meters depth!

In the Harz, it goes up again! Up to November 19, helicopters are buzzing over the picturesque landscape, and for an exciting reason: The Federal Institute for Geosciences and Raw Materials (BGR) has started an ambitious research project to find valuable raw materials. The mysterious depths of up to 1,000 meters are examined with a special flight probe that is equipped with highly sensitive magnetic field sensors. A BGR spokesman reveals that the helicopters fly at a height of only 50 to 70 meters above the ground to carry out precise measurements.

research with high technology

The helicopters fly over the areas at Lautenthal and Clausthal-Zellerfeld, where silver and iron ore once attracted people to the region. This innovative method could provide crucial references to possible ore deposits and revolutionize the search for raw materials. Similar flights have already taken place in the past, and the results could revive the economic potential of the Harz

Nature is protected, but the curiosity of the researchers remains unbroken. The search for raw materials is not only a technical undertaking, but also a race against time to discover the treasures of the earth that are deeply hidden. The coming days promise exciting insights into the hidden treasures of the Harz
