Geophysics

​Geophysical data and maps include data from the Tellus project (magnetic, electromagnetic, radiometric data) and other sources​ (2006 Joint Airborne Geoscience Capability pilot studies and 1979-1981 Hunting Geology and Geophysics Ltd.).

Airborne surveys collect magnetic, radiometric and electromagnetic data. Data are available in merged packages of all the Tellus phases or individually as survey blocks are completed.

​​​​​TypeDescription
Magnetic Data Airborne geophysical magnetic intensity data (in nT) collected at 10Hz at a nominal survey altitude of 60m and a line spacing of 200m.
Radiometric DataAirborne geophysical Gamma-Ray data (including Total Counts (cps), Potassium (%), equivalent Thorium (ppm) and equivalent Uranium (ppm)) collected at 1Hz at a nominal survey altitude of 60m and a line spacing of 200m.
Electromagnetic DataAirborne geophysical frequency domain electromagnetic data (four-frequencies: 912, 3005, 11962 and 24510 Hz, in-phase and quadrature EM responses and resistivity transforms) collected at 1Hz at a nominal survey altitude of 60m and a line spacing of 200m.
