Product description:Download The downloadable version of this report is supplied in PDF format. Abstract This report presents a first look appraisal of new detailed airborne magnetics and radiometrics data obtained as part of the North West Initiative project. It outlines the survey operations, presents images of the new magnetics and radiometrics data and provides a brief discussion of regional features identified from the survey. The airborne surveys are the first major completed work of the North West project being undertaken as part of the Victorian Initiative for Minerals and Petroleum (VIMP). The project also involves collection of semi detailed gravity (over 20 000 stations), geological modelling, reconnaissance seismic, data compilation and possible follow up stratigraphic drilling. The work in the North West area has the dual objectives of promoting the mineral and petroleum potential of the region. The surveys abut high quality industry surveys flown on behalf of CRAE in the early 1980's. As part of this project, the Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV) is microlevelling the CRAE grid data and joining the two datasets to produce a composite dataset for the North West initiative area. A further stage will involve the complete reprocessing of the CRAE dataset from field data tapes. As a result of these surveys, detailed airborne data are now available for the North West Initiative area. These data for the first time allow a detailed geological interpretation and assessment of the mineral and petroleum prospectivity of this area . Images of the total magnetic intensity, total count, potassium, uranium and thorium are presented in Figures 2-6. The radiometric data are shown as counts per second and have not been converted to %K, ppm Th and ppm U in these images. Bibliographic reference Willocks, A.J., 1995.
