Abstract

Precompetitive AEM data and associated scientific analysis assists exploration under cover by reducing risk, stimulating investment and promoting exploration for commodities. In recent years, Geoscience Australia has flown three regional Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) surveys covering three percent of Australia. Data and associated interpretations from regional surveys in the Paterson, Pine Creek and Lake Frome regions have led to tenement take up, stimulated exploration for a number of commodities and have given rise to many Eureka moments. This presentation will outline significant results from the use of Geoscience Australia AEM data and interpretations, results that have been announced by industry via the Australian Stock Exchange and other publications.

Lineage

The recently completed Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP) Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) component was primarily designed to provide new regional-scale data for greenfields to brownfields uranium provinces. Covering three percent of Australia, the regional AEM surveys, Paterson (Western Australia), Pine Creek (Northern Territory) and Lake Frome (South Australia), have proven to be relevant in exploration for a variety of commodities.
