Aeromagnetic Survey of the Wolf Lake Area, Yukon, 2019

Novatem Inc. conducted an aeromagnetic survey of the Wolf Lake area in Yukon, Canada, from February 23 to April 2, 2019. The data represent the first vertical derivative of the magnetic field, collected using cesium vapour magnetometers mounted on two Piper Navajo aircraft. The survey used traverse lines spaced 400 m apart, control lines spaced 2400 m apart, and a nominal terrain clearance of 150 m.

Use Cases

• Geological mapping based on magnetic anomaly patterns.
• Mineral exploration targeting based on subsurface magnetic structures.
• Regional geophysical analysis based on the 400 m line spacing and 150 m flight height.

Strengths

• Survey conducted over a defined period from February 23 to April 2, 2019.
• Specific technical parameters are provided, including 400 m traverse line spacing, 2400 m control line spacing, and 150 m nominal terrain clearance.
• Data collected using split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers, which suggests precise instrumentation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific Wolf Lake survey area.
