1. INTRODUCTION

This report describes an airborne geophysical survey carried out on behalf of Timmins Nickel

r^ Inc. Equipment operated during the survey included a high sensitivity cesium vapour

' magnetometer, a two frequency VLF-EM system, a video tracking camera, radar altimeter, and

j an electronic positioning system. Magnetic and altimeter data were recorded both in digital and

analog forms. Positioning data was stored in digital form, encoded on VHS format video tape

and recorded at regular intervals in local UTM coordinates, as well as being marked on the flightr"

l path mosaic by the operator while in flight

The survey areas are located near South Porcupine, Ontario, and are referred to as Block l -

Block 7 inclusive. Blocks l, 2 and 3 were flown on September 3, 1990. Block 4 was flown on

September 4,1990. Block S was flown on September 5,1990. Block 6 was flown on September

^ 8, 1990, and Block 7 was flown on September 7, 1990. Data from twelve flights were used to

l compile the survey results. The flight lines were oriented at an angle of 90 degrees, with ar—"

j nominal line spacing of 100 metres (according to Appendix "A" of the contract) for Blocks 2,

^ 5 and Block 6. Blocks l, 3 and 7 were oriented at an angle of O degrees, with a nominal line

l spacing of 100 metres (according to Appendix "A" of the contract). Block 4 consisted of bi-

I directional flight lines, a detailed area oriented at an angle of O degrees, with a nominal line

r- spacing of 50 metres, while the remaining areas of Block 4 was oriented at 90 degrees with a

nominal line spacing of 100 metres (according to Appendix "A" of the contract). Geophysical

l information is provided in the form of maps at 1:10,000. Coverage and data quality were

3.2.8 Radar Positioning System

A Mini-Ranger MRS-lil radar navigation system was used for both navigation and

flight path recovery. Transponders sited at fixed locations were interrogated

several times per second and the ranges from these points to the helicopter were•r•j measured to a high degree of accuracy. A navigational computer triangulated the

BH position of the helicopter and provided the pilot with navigation information. The

range/range data was recorded on magnetic tape for subsequent flight path

m determination.

4.1 Base Map

A photomosaic base map at a scale of 1:10,000 was prepared from available photos from

the National Photo Library (Ottawa).

H 4.2 Flight Path Map

The flight path was derived from the Mini-Ranger radar positioning system. The distance

from the helicopter to two established reference locations was measured several times per

C second and the position of the helicopter was calculated by triangulation. It is estimated

that the flight path is generally accurate to about 10 metres with respect to the

topographic detail on the base map.

lThe flight lines have the time and the navigator's manual fiducials for cross reference to

both analog and digital data.i

4.3 Magnetics

l digitally recorded base station magnetic values. No correction for regional

r~ variation was applied. The corrected data was interpolated onto a regular grid at

a 25 metre true scale interval using an Akima spline technique. This grid

provided the basis for threading the presented contours at a 2 nT interval.

- GENERAL INTERPRETIVE CONSIDERATIONS

l•i Magnetics

A digital base station magnetometer was used to detect fluctuations in the magnetic field duringf ff

flight times. The airborne magnetic data was levelled by removing these diurnal changes. The

Total Field Magnetic map shows the levelled magnetic contours, uncorrected for regional

variation.

l The Calculated Vertical Gradient map shows contours of the magnetic gradient as calculated from

—F the total field magnetic data. The zero contour shows changes in the magnetic lithologies andl

will coincide closely with geologic contacts assuming a steeply dipping interface. Thus this data.rm may be used as a pseudo-geologic map.

r

^ VLF Electromagnetics

l The VLF-EM method employs the radiation from powerful military radio transmitters as ther—

•i primary signals. The magnetic field associated with the primary field is elliptically polarized in

j- the vicinity of electrical conductors. The Herz Totem uses three coils in the X, Y, Z

l configuration to measure the total field and vertical quadrature component of the polarization

B ellipse.

i* The relatively high frequency of VLF (15-25) kHz provides high response factors for bodies of

R low conductance. Relatively "disconnected" sulphide ores have been found to produce

r r

Page 21: Block 4 l l Eldorado Township H · VOT VLF-EM Total Field, Ortho 25 %/cm VOQ VLF-EM Quadrature, Ortho 25 %/cm RALT Radar Altimeter 100 ftjcm MAGF Magnetometer, fine 25 nT/cm MAGC

l, tl measurable VLF signals. For the same reason, poor conductors such as sheared

l contacts, breccia zones, narrow faults, alteration zones and porous flow tops normally

r- produce VLF anomalies. The method can therefore be used effectively for geological mapping.

B The only relative disadvantage of the method lies in its sensitivity to conductive overburden. Inrl conductive ground to depth of exploration is severely limited.

r-

The effect of strike direction is important in the sense of the relation of the conductor axis

l relative to the energizing electromagnetic field. A conductor aligned along a radius drawn from

^ a transmitting station will be in a maximum coupled orientation and thereby produce a stronger

^ response than a similar conductor at a different strike angle. Theoretically, it would be possible

l for a conductor, oriented tangentially to the transmitter to produce no signal. The most obvioust

B effect of the strike angle consideration is that conductors

^ favourably oriented with respect to the transmitter location and also near perpendicular to the

l flight direction are most clearly rendered and usually dominate the map presentation.

in The total field response is an indicator of the existence and position of a conductivity anomaly,

l The response will be a maximum over the conductor, without any special filtering, and strongly

l favour the upper edge of the conductor even in the case of a relatively shallow dip.

* The vertical quadrature component over steeply dipping sheet-like conductor will be a cross-over

l type response with the cross-over closely associated with the upper edge of the conductor.

ll - 3 -

l•j The response is a cross-over type due to the fact that it is the vertical rather than total field

r- quadrature component that is measured. The response shape is due largely to geometrical rather

l* than conductivity considerations and the distance between the maximum and minimum on either

r—

B side of the cross-over is related to target depth. For a given target geometry, the larger this

r~ distance the greater the depth.

I The amplitude of the quadrature response, as opposed to shape is function of target conductance

—P and depth as well as the conductivity of the overburden and host rock. As the primary field

^ travels down to the conductor through conductive material it is both attenuated and phase shifted

g in a negative sense. The secondary field produced by thisaltered field at the target also has an

•j associated phase shift. This phase shift is positive and is larger for relatively poor conductors.

^ This secondary field is attenuated and phase

l shifted in a negative sense during return travel to the surface. The net effect of these 3 phase

m shifts determine the phase of the secondary field sensed at the receiver.

V A relatively poor conductor in resistive ground will yield a net positive phase shift A relatively

M good conductor in more conductive ground will yield a net negative phase shift. A combination

— is possible whereby the net phase shift is zero and the response is purely in-phase with no

™ quadrature component.

i- 4 -

lr"l A net positive phase shift combined with the geometrical cross-over shape will lead to a positive

r- quadrature response on the side of approach and a negative on the side of

™ departure. A net negative phase shift would produce the reverse. A further sign reversal occurs

l with a 180 degree change in instrument orientation as occurs on reciprocal line headings. During

digital processing of the quadrature data for map presentation this is corrected for by normalizing

the sign to one of the flight line headings.
