Joint AIG – AusIMM – GSA Technical meeting
Speaker: David Isles, Senior Consulting Geophysicist, Southern Geoscience Consultants
Aeromagnetic data has been a significant part of the exploration and mapping landscape for over 30 years – but we still do not use it well. About 50% of the exploration value is ‘left on the table’ in most surveys because we allocate too little time and geological thinking to interpretation/integration. Dave’s talk illustrates the key steps in the integration of aeromagnetics with geology and emphasises the need for project personnel to drive this process (as opposed to relying on ‘specialists’). A gold exploration case study on a well exposed and well mapped prospect area in the NT is presented, along with some Yilgarn Block examples. Local imagery and exploration issues will be included in the talks wherever possible.
Dave is a geophysics graduate of Melbourne and Adelaide Universities and has worked predominantly in ‘hard-rock’ exploration since 1975, covering a range of mineral commodities. He has focused on exploration applications of aeromagnetics for much of that time, contributing to projects Australia-wide and in the Middle- East, Canada, India and Africa. With geological colleagues, Dave has run courses in aeromagnetics since 1988. His former employers include BHP Minerals, World Geoscience and Grenfell Resources and he currently provides consulting services through Southern Geoscience. He is a non-executive director of ASX-listed Mineral Deposits Ltd and is a member of ASEG, SEG and AIG.
