Data sets released to the public

— filed under: , ,

19 October 2011 - "All data from Glass Earth Gold’s aerial geophysical survey of Otago has now been fully released so the scientific community and general public can benefit from the rich information found in the $5 million project", Glass Earth Gold CEO Simon Henderson said.

Data sets released to the public

Unprocessed data over Northland

Sources: Glass Earth Gold and NZP&M

Glass Earth has flown two of New Zealand’s largest airborne geophysical surveys covering the Central Volcanic region in 2005 (Report MR4214) and the Otago region in 2007 (Report MR4327).

You can order both sets of data via the
Online Exploration Database.

Future data projects
 

Regional aeromagnetic surveys of Northland and the West Coast, and other technical studies, are also being undertaken at the moment by New Zealand Petroleum & Minerals.

Projects include:

  • Northland Geophysical Data Acquisition, Processing and Interpretation
  • West Coast Geophysical Data Acquisition and Processing
  • Northland Desktop Studies (VMS occurrences)
  • Southland Desktop Studies (PGEs – Longwood complex)
  • Kaikoura Desktop Studies and Geochemical Survey (PGEs & REEs – Tapuaenuku complex)
  • Nelson Desktop Studies, Field Survey and Sampling (podiform chromite & VMS in Dun Mountain Ophiolite Belt)
  • North West Nelson Desktop Studies (PGEs – Riwaka complex)
  • Haast Desktop Studies, Field Survey and Sampling (REEs – carbonatites in Alpine Dyke Swarm)
     

We hope to be able to make the Northland data freely available in early 2012, and would like to thank the Far North District Council, the Northland Regional Council, and Enterprise Northland for their involvement in this project.
