Residual Total Magnetic Field Survey of Wolf Lake, Yukon

An aeromagnetic survey of the Wolf Lake area in Yukon, part of NTS 105B (south half). The survey was conducted by Novatem Inc. from February 23, 2019, to April 2, 2019, using split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers mounted on two Piper Navajo aircraft. Traverse lines were spaced 400 m apart, flown at a nominal terrain clearance of 150 m, and oriented N45°E.

Use Cases

• Map subsurface geological structures based on magnetic field variations.
• Support mineral exploration targeting based on aeromagnetic anomalies.
• Integrate with other geophysical datasets for regional geological interpretation.

Strengths

• Survey conducted with specific instrumentation: split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers.
• Clear operational parameters: 400 m traverse line spacing and 150 m nominal terrain clearance.
• 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.
