One of the key geophysical methods for prospective targets is the helicopter transient electromagnetic method (HTEM). The developments of the new HTEM system within the Smart Exploration project, have focused on lowering the operational base frequency of the transmitter to 6.25 Hz. This leads to two benefits. Firstly, the on-time can be held for a longer time period inducing a higher signal in the ground. Secondly, it allows for off-time measurements to later times (~60 ms) leading to receival of signal from deeper levels in the ground. In order to measure the EM signal at a 6.25 Hz base frequency the noise level of the receiver system has been optimised for this operating condition.
During this webinar session, Per Gisseloe from SkyTEM will be explaining how this new system will enhance the benefits of airborne surveys not only for mineral exploration but also other industries.
Participants are encouraged to watch the YouTube videos before attending the webinar session.
