Residual Total Magnetic Field Survey of Wolf Lake, Yukon, 2019

Aeromagnetic data was collected using split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers mounted on two Piper Navajo aircraft. The survey covered the Wolf Lake area in Yukon from February 23 to April 2, 2019, with a nominal terrain clearance of 150 meters. Traverse lines were spaced 400 meters apart and oriented N45°E, with orthogonal control lines spaced 2400 meters apart.

Use Cases

• Map subsurface geological structures based on magnetic field anomalies.
• Aid mineral exploration targeting by identifying magnetic signatures associated with ore deposits.
• Integrate with other geophysical data for regional geological interpretation.
• Model the Earth's magnetic field for scientific research in the Yukon region.

Strengths

• Data was collected using precise split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers.
• Survey parameters are explicitly defined, including a 150-meter terrain clearance and specific line spacings.
• The survey has a defined temporal coverage from February 23 to April 2, 2019.

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.
