MAGNETIC SURVEYS

Airborne magnetic surveys are a key starting point for resource exploration and development programs. High resolution airborne magnetic data reflect the magnetic properties of the underlying geology regardless of the extent of geological exposure; thereby making this technique applicable in virtually any geological environment.

The speed and cost effectiveness with which data can be acquired are extremely important to national development and exploration companies, where timely availability of high quality data is crucial to the decision making process. Airborne magnetic data are valuable for mapping basement structure, faults, dykes, sills, intrusions, and rock-type distributions.

Aeromagnetic surveys can be flown as standalone or are commonly flown in conjunction with other geophysical instrumentation.
