5028 Block 3 (Northwest): Airborne Radiometric Survey Data from Western Australia, 2024

415,090 line-kilometres of airborne radiometric data were collected over Western Australia in 2024 by the WA Government. The data has been processed to provide point-located concentrations of potassium, uranium, and thorium at the Earth's surface. This reduced dataset is intended for geological mapping, mineral exploration, and environmental studies.

Use Cases

• Geological mapping based on natural gamma-ray signatures of potassium, uranium, and thorium.
• Mineral exploration targeting based on anomalous radioelement concentrations.
• Environmental baseline studies based on natural background radiation measurements.
• Geophysical data integration based on point-located, levelled radiometric readings.

Strengths

• 415,090 line-kilometres of data provides extensive aerial coverage.
• Data underwent advanced processing including NASVD filtering, background corrections, and micro-levelling.
• Acquired at a consistent 50m terrain clearance and 100m line spacing.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
