Residual Total Magnetic Field Survey of the Wolf Lake Area, Yukon

An aeromagnetic survey flown from February 23 to April 2, 2019, by Novatem Inc. The data were recorded using cesium vapour magnetometers mounted on two Piper Navajo aircraft flying at 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.
• Identify potential mineral deposits using magnetic signatures.
• Integrate magnetic data with other geophysical surveys for regional geological interpretation.
• Model the depth and geometry of magnetic sources in the Wolf Lake area.

Strengths

• Survey conducted over a defined period from February 23 to April 2, 2019.
• Specific flight parameters are documented, including 150 m terrain clearance and 400 m line spacing.
• Data collected using specialized 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.
