Yukon Magnetic Geophysical Data Reprocessing for NTS 116B

Yukon, Canada magnetic geophysical data from assessment reports submitted prior to March 2015, reprocessed by Aurora Geosciences Ltd. The work involved levelling individual reports and integrating them with 1:250,000 scale compilations. Four gridded PDF products were generated, including residual total magnetic field and reduced-to-pole data.

Use Cases

• Regional geological mapping based on reprocessed magnetic field data.
• Mineral exploration targeting using derived products like vertical and tilt derivatives.
• Integrating historical assessment data with regional compilations for standardized analysis.

Strengths

• Data integrated from multiple assessment reports into standardized 1:250,000 scale compilations.
• Four distinct processed data products (gridded PDFs) are available for analysis.
• Original source data is documented in a specific open file report (YGS Open File 2017-45).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal bias, as it includes reports submitted only prior to March 2015.
