Remarks
* Very good spatial resolution along profiles or EW flight lines (X);
* Very good depth penetration (Z) and spatial resolution along the EM sounding response;
* Just be careful when extrapolating across flight lines (Y).

Answer
New geophysical information along profiles.
Question
So, what is the advantage of flying VTEM?
EM responses are associated with conductivity distributions in the underground.
Those conductivity (or resistivity) distributions might be associated with mineralization in the underground or with other geological sources, such as sedimentary covers.
![Page 12: Beetle Impacted one - Geoscience BC Presentation_EM_Exploration... · in time telling us? 200 m. ... Volume * D(RPP) Depth (1 ... • The time decay ( tau ) from the amplitude is](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070615/5c9ac83509d3f265168c5e2c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Airborne Geophysical VTEM Survey
in the Quesnel Terrane
Remarks
• Electromagnetic amplitude responses depend (1) on the conductivity of the geological source, but also (2) on the distance from the source to the geophysical instrument.
• This distance might be the depth of the body below surface or the flying altitude of the EM receiver.
• Therefore, areas with high clearance values (red spots) need to be considered carefully because of these topographic effects on the EM responses.

Airborne Geophysical VTEM Survey
in the Quesnel Terrane
Extracted Information:Amplitude of 682ms channel
Geoscience BC – Quest Project(www.geosciencebc.com)
Remarks
• A survey with 4km line spacing means gridding with 800m cell size.
• So, by gridding, resolution along profiles is lost, but a regional overview of tha data can be achieved.

Amplitude ‘A’Depends on the conductivity of the geological source and on the distance from this source to the EM receiver (depth of source below surface, flying altitude of instrument)
Time Decay ‘tau’ (dA/dt)Depends only on conductivity of the geological source in depth
But, what are changes of amplitudes in time telling us?

Conclusions
• Early channels are mapping the shallow mineralization in stocks
embedded in conductive overburden;
© Sergio Espinosa, Terrane Metal Corporation
• Late channels are mapping sediments;
• The time decay (tau) from the amplitude is mapping the
mineralization in depth;
• Simple 1D-inversions (using 4 layers) are mapping in detail the
conductive cover;
• However, more complex 1D-inversions (using 60 layers) will be
calculated.
