Aerial Surveying
LAST year was very busy for MAGSPEC Airborne Surveys.
The Perth-based geophysical service company clocked up more than 2 million line kilometres of data acquisition since it began operations more than five years ago.
MAGSPEC anticipates another good year ahead, with high-quality surveys already underway in WA and South Australia and planned projects in North America.
The light aircraft flown by the company collects and processes detailed geophysical information, which is used by exploration companies to map and analyse the surface of the Earth and below; potentially locating areas for new mineral resources.
Airborne geophysical surveys such as these are typically undertaken at the early stages of exploration; across unexplored tenements, or prior to drilling.
MAGSPEC collects magnetic, radiometric and elevation data with surveys of all sizes, from low-level, ultra-detailed scale for junior explorers, up to state-wide regional programs for government departments such as Geoscience Australia.
As well as identifying promising targets for traditional resources such as gold, nickel, uranium and iron ore; MAGSPEC has recently assisted exploration companies in their pursuit of ’battery metals’, including lithium, cobalt and vanadium.
Each survey is custom designed and can take as little as one day to complete, or over several months, using multiple aircrafts at the same time.
Safety, service and data quality are all paramount to MAGSPEC, with the company earning a reputation for delivering the highest quality geophysical services to its customers, within Australia and overseas.
