Aeromagnetic Survey of the Wolf Lake Area, Yukon, 2019

From February 23 to April 2, 2019, Novatem Inc. conducted an aeromagnetic survey over the Wolf Lake area in Yukon. The data were collected using cesium vapour magnetometers mounted on two Piper Navajo aircraft flying at a nominal terrain clearance of 150 meters. Traverse lines were oriented N45°E with a spacing of 400 meters, and control lines were spaced 2400 meters apart.

Use Cases

• Map subsurface geological structures based on magnetic field variations.
• Aid mineral exploration targeting by identifying magnetic anomalies.
• Conduct regional geophysical analysis based on the defined flight line spacing and orientation.

Strengths

• Survey conducted over a specific six-week period in 2019.
• Data collected with precise flight parameters: 150 m terrain clearance, 400 m traverse line spacing.
• Specified instrumentation: split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers.

Limitations

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