Aeromagnetic Survey of the Wolf Lake Area, Yukon, 2019

An aeromagnetic survey covering the south half of NTS 105B in the Wolf Lake area, Yukon. The data were collected by Novatem Inc. between February 23 and April 2, 2019, using cesium vapour magnetometers mounted on two aircraft. The survey was flown with 400 m traverse line spacing and a nominal terrain clearance of 150 meters.

Use Cases

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

Strengths

• Specific temporal coverage from February 23 to April 2, 2019.
• Detailed survey parameters: 400 m traverse line spacing, 2400 m control line spacing, and 150 m nominal terrain clearance.
• Data collected using split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers, a standard instrument for high-resolution surveys.

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 survey area in Yukon.
