Airborne Survey Details
Airborne geophysical surveys use sensors and devices mounted on an aircraft to acquire subsurface data. Prior to drilling, the primary purpose is to gain a better understanding of the distribution of subsurface rock types and mineralization.
Due to the utilization of aircraft to collect data, the method is more expensive than ground-based methods, but it is more efficient and virtually fully non-invasive, limiting the impact on flora, fauna, and local residents.
AngloGold's survey covered the majority of the Property in eleven days and acquired magnetic and radiometric data along 3,500 line-km. Survey lines were flown at an average flying height of 60 m above ground on a 100-meter north-south and 1,000-m east-west spacing.
