The aforementioned have contributed financially to the continuing triumph of 4hv.org. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.
Adrok’s technology works by sending a narrow light beam of energy into the ground using micro and radio waves. The beam is then reflected back by the various rock layers and the energy changed by the materials it has passed through on the way.
Reaching great depths, it learns how different substances, including hydrocarbons, interact with the light waves passing through them and pinpoints their composition. The technology measures dielectric permittivity of rock layers in the ground and characterizes the nature of the rock types based on spectroscopic analyses of the resonant energy response from Adrok’s transmitted beams reflected back from the ground.
Adrok’s scanner illuminates the ground by transmitting and receiving invisible lased EM energy.
The beam is: Pulsed, Coherent (narrow band) Focused for minimal dispersion Collimated (cylindrical shaped), and contains resonant microwave and radiowave frequencies
Adrok’s ADR Scanner delivers output measurements based on: Dielectric Permittivity Resonant behaviours of molecules Spectroscopy

In principle what they describe is possible, you can analyze materials and their depth based on the spectrum, magnitude, angle, and time of arrival of the reflections off of different materials.
I'd have some doubts mainly about how deep a system like this can penetrate into the earth, and how well they can focus their source radiator given the small size. The devil is in the details as to how well it works, but they're not making up new physical principles.

Ever noticed how a car radio fades when you go under a bridge? Tried using a GPS indoors? That gives you a very good idea how well radio waves and microwaves penetrate the ground. The idea is total moonshine.
That's before we start asking about how to focus or collimate radio waves at anything other than rather high frequencies.

It sounds like a really cruddy description of ground penetrating radar. It works, but penetration is measured in centimeters or meters, not kilometers.
In recent years, the technology for the production of laser light has become widely available, and applications of this medium to the examination of materials are constantly expanding. Whereas the earlier applications concentrated on the use of visible laser light, the development of systems using invisible laser light are now being further explored.
Ah, of course, invisible laser light.
The conditioned pulse of photons passes through the structure of the atom and emerges to encounter more atoms further along its path.
.... right.
In order to unambiguously identify the material in question the software does not necessarily need to know the specific values of ε, μ and σ, which, per se, may not necessarily identify the unknown material in question, but it may be necessary to establish 10 or 12 (or more) other mathematical or statistical relationships related to the energy-frequency spectra of the unknown material in question, to establish from the ADR control database of such parameters unquestionably what the material’s code is by the software’s logical expert systems method of discrimination.
Haha... what?
Proprietary adjustment of wave prior to emission of energy from the system
Sure, you just get in there and adjust that wave so that it can pass through kilometers of solid rock. I'll bet it's proprietary.

Sounds like the old trick with the photocopier, warmed over for the 21st century!
I can't remember the source, but Elf were involved in a scam where the "oil finding machine" turned out to be a photocopier with an already published map of the oilfield in it.

The inventor's US patent claims that his device has successfully detected shipwrecks on the sea bed, and can also detect 'explosives, contraband substances, and in particular narcotics'.

I guess that with really optimistic assumptions about the ground (ie. sand at some high altitude with deep ground water levels) you could have ground penetrating radar achieve some significant debt ... but how the hell is this supposed to work with sea water ... you aren't even going to scan to a meter.

Sea water is "interesting". It absorbs radio waves but not magnetic fields, as these typically go through anything except ferrous metals. This is how the wreck finders work, by detecting the weak variation in the Earth's magnetic field caused by metal getting in the way of the field and distorting the flux lines.
