Abstract: Stratagex Ltd was contracted by the AGS in 2001 to compile a catalogue of all existing ground and airborne geophysical survey data contained in the archived mining assessment reports of the AGS, supplemented where possible with information on non-exclusive and proprietary surveys from exploration industry and other sources. This data set shows the airborne survey locations and detailed information about the survey including: Type of survey flown [fixed wing or helicopter; barometric (constant elevation) or drape (topographic contour following), Year of data acquisition and contractor, Description of the system flown [any one or combination of magnetics, VLF-EM, radiometrics, time domain electromagnetics (TDEM), frequency domain electromagnetics (FEM)]., Survey specifications (flying height, line direction, line separation, tie line spacing and direction), Location of the survey (corner co-ordinates of the survey area in UTM and latitude and longitude), Outline of the actual survey coverage (plan map of survey block outline on planimetric base), Owner of the data at time of acquisition (and contact person if available), Assessment of data quality (where possible, based on the maps or profiles made available by the Contractor/Mining Company who holds the data), Availability of the data for use or acquisition by the AGS (for compilation, resale, in-house research), Media and format that data is available on (paper, digital images, raw digital data, etc.), Asking price for acquiring the data (if available) and the conditions under which it would be made available.

Abstract:
Stratagex Ltd was contracted by the AGS in 2001 to compile a catalogue of all existing ground and airborne
geophysical survey data contained in the archived mining assessment reports of the AGS, supplemented where
possible with information on non-exclusive and proprietary surveys from exploration industry and other
sources. This data set shows the airborne survey locations and detailed information about the survey
including: Type of survey flown [fixed wing or helicopter; barometric (constant elevation) or drape
(topographic contour following), Year of data acquisition and contractor, Description of the system flown
[any one or combination of magnetics, VLF-EM, radiometrics, time domain electromagnetics (TDEM), frequency
domain electromagnetics (FEM)]., Survey specifications (flying height, line direction, line separation, tie
line spacing and direction), Location of the survey (corner co-ordinates of the survey area in UTM and
latitude and longitude), Outline of the actual survey coverage (plan map of survey block outline on
planimetric base), Owner of the data at time of acquisition (and contact person if available), Assessment of
data quality (where possible, based on the maps or profiles made available by the Contractor/Mining Company
who holds the data), Availability of the data for use or acquisition by the AGS (for compilation, resale,
in-house research), Media and format that data is available on (paper, digital images, raw digital data,
etc.), Asking price for acquiring the data (if available) and the conditions under which it would be made
available.
Purpose:
To provide both private companies and public agencies with a valuable tool for the use in the formulation and
assessment of mineral exploration and other geoscience programs. The catalogue is intended to be useful to
the any party deciding to commission airborne or ground geophysical surveys for public distribution, by
outlining existing survey coverage, the quality of that coverage, and therefore what areas may benefit from
a new or better quality survey. The catalogue is also valuable in budgeting for the possible future purchase
of existing data that are of interest in terms of regional studies and data compilation projects.
Additionally, junior mining companies may benefit from the catalogue as it may indirectly lead to the
sharing of data or possible joint venture projects. This implementation of the airborne catalogue makes it
possible to view on the Web, in geographic information systems (map) format.

Measure description:
An attempt was made to identify duplicate records and inconsistent data supplied by the contractor. All
identified duplicates and inconsistent data were eliminated or corrected. Since the spatial geometry of
the data was compiled separately from the attributes, checks were made to ensure the correct geometery
was linked to the right attributes.

Description:
A single shapefile was prepared from text files supplied to AGS of the survey location coordinates
(one text file per survey). Attribute information stored in an MS-Access was joined to the shapefile
using ArcView 3.2, based on the IssueID field, a unique identifier for the survey.
