Z-TEM (airborne AFMAG) tests over unconformity uranium deposits

Abstract

A series of demonstration tests were conducted using the Z-TEM, airborne AFMAG system over deep targets in the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada. These tests were conducted in mid-2008 and were flown to test Z-TEM?s ability to detect large conductive targets at depth; deeper than conventional airborne EM methods. Data are presented over areas where the conductors are located 800 metres beneath the surface. As well, a case of Z-TEM following the plunge of a conductor to over 800 metres depth is shown.
