1 CPD HourJoint AIG – AusIMM – GSA Technical meeting

Speaker: David Isles, Senior Consulting Geophysicist, Southern Geoscience Consultants

cobar_2015_05_techmeeting_flyerAeromagnetic 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.

David’s talk will illustrate 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.

About the Speaker – Dave Isles
Dave is a geophysics graduate of Melbourne and Adelaide Universities and has worked in ‘hard-rock’ exploration since 1975, covering a broad range of mineral commodities. He has focused on the application of aeromagnetics to exploration for much of that time, contributing to major projects Australia-wide and in the Middle-East, Canada, India and Africa. With geological colleagues, Dave has run training programs in aeromagnetics since 1987 and currently provides consulting services through Southern Geoscience. He is a non-executive director of ASX-listed Mineral Deposits Ltd and Stellar Resources Ltd and is a member of ASEG, SEG and AIG.
