Magnetic Surveys commence at Cosmos South

For personal use only

Existing Airborne Magnetic survey data at Cosmos South is 200 m line spacing at 80 m above ground and flown 160-340 degrees. The current contracted Drone Magnetics is proposed to be surveyed at 25 m E/W traverses at a height of probably 30m.

The survey objective of the Drone Magnetics is to better define the magnetic characteristics of the anomaly associated with the identified MLEM and FLEM anomaly's and to map structure (faults, etc) and lithology based on the results.
