CGG Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. 2018 digital data Geophysical Report GPR 2018-6 Fairbanks, Alaska, United States Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys 14 p http://doi.org/10.14509/29820 The Fox Hills survey is one of several geophysical surveys, collectively known as the Five Spot project (Southern Dishna River, Beaver Creek, and Fox Hills surveys), located in the Iditarod-Innoko and Aniak mining districts, which is about 575 km southwest from Fairbanks, Alaska. Frequency domain electromagnetic and magnetic data were collected with the DIGHEMV system from September to November 2012. A total of 1538.2 line kilometers were collected covering 529.5 square kilometers for the Fox Hills survey. Line spacing was 400 meters (m). Data were collected 30 m above the ground surface from a helicopter towed sensor platform ('bird') on a 30 m long line. The data, as well as additional metadata, are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/29820. This airborne geophysical survey is part of a program to acquire data on Alaska's most promising mineral belts and districts. The information acquired is aimed at catalyzing new private-sector exploration, discovery, and ultimate development and production. The purpose of the survey was to map the magnetic and conductive properties of the survey area. The Iditarod-Innoko and Aniak mining districts have a history of placer mining, and the discovery of the Donlin Gold lode deposit, 40 kilometers (25 miles) to the southwest, has kept mining activity in the region high. Other gold and base-metal anomalies, altered zones, favorable lithologies, and structural zones are known to exist throughout the survey area. >ascii_data: ASCII format line data, other ASCII data >databases_geosoft: Geosoft format database of line data, other Geosoft format databases >documents: Project and field reports, survey background information, gridded data explanations, other supporting documentation >grids_ermapper: Geographically registered gridded data, ER Mapper ERS format >grids_geosoft: Geosoft-format binary grids, these grids can be viewed in ESRI ArcMap using a free plugin from Geosoft or using the free viewer available from Geosoft >images_registered: GeoTiff format images of all gridded data >kmz: Keyhole markup language (kml) kmz archive files of project data.

For additional detail about survey parameters, see the accompanying project report available in the documents directory of this data distribution package. Data originate from one company using the same contract specifications for all data. The originating coordinate system was retained for all publication products. This data set includes files that contain processed aeromagnetic measurements, electromagnetic measurements, altimetry measurements, and locational data for the entire survey area. These data are positioned with post-processed differential GPS. Discussion of grid resolution and factors that may impact the overall horizontal accuracy of the gridded data is available in the documents directory of this data distribution package.

The contractor's project report and other supporting documents are in the "documents" digital data package. They provide detailed documentation of the system specifications, data collection, processing, and delivery. Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys and others, 1994 Burns, L.E. and others, 2015 Burns, L.E. and others, 2013 2012 DXF conversion and geographic referencing - The contractor provided AutoCAD DXF files were converted to an ESRI Geodatabase in ArcMap v10 using the CAD to Geodatabase tool. 2018 RGB GeoTiff creation - RGB GeoTIFF raster files of gridded data were exported using Geosoft v9 by loading each Geosoft grid onto a map and using the map export tool. 2019 GeoPDF creation - Geospatial pdf file created using the Export Map function in Geosoft Oasis Montaj v9 with all maps layers visible. 2019 Standard Boundary Polygon - The final boundary polygon was generated by loading the line data in Geosoft Oasis Montaj v9. The channel MAG was gridded using the Minimum Curvature option with the following settings: grid cell size = 25, blanking distance = 800, cells to extend beyond data = 2. The polygon file was created using the Grid Outline tool with edge resolution = 1. The polygon file was exported to ESRI shapefile. 2019 Keyhole markup language (kml) KMZ archive creation - Data were exported from Geosoft and ESRI ArcMap to kml format files and/or KMZ archives. These files were then combined and modified in Google Earth Pro to create the final KMZ file. 2019 Simulated Magnetic Total Field - In this publication's older products and documentation, the magnetic data products have been referred to as Total Field Magnetics on the maps and the MAGIGRF channel in the line data and 'magigrf' as a filename abbreviation. The new term 'sim_magtf' has been created to rename and clarify that the data are not representative of the true total magnetic field as the IGRF values have been removed with a single average value added back to the entire dataset, resulting in the IGRF gradient being removed. The term simulated magnetic total field and the filename abbreviation 'sim_magtf' is now used to identify these magnetic data. 2019 Data cataloged for archival and publication - All files were renamed and placed in a standardized set of folders according to the DGGS Geophysics Data Management Manual. Where applicable and as needed data were converted to newer file formats and new files were created. Supporting documentation including but not limited to readme text files, maps, figures, survey overview report, missing data type explanations, and metadata were created. 2019 Universal Transverse Mercator 4 0.999600 -159 0 500000.000000 0 coordinate pair .00000001 .00000001 Meters North American Datum of 1927 Clarke 1866 6378206.40000000037 294.978698199999997 ascii_data ASCII format line data, other ASCII data CGG and Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. ascii_data databases_geosoft Geosoft format database of line data, other Geosoft format databases CGG and Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. databases_geosoft documents Project and field reports, survey background information, gridded data explanations, other supporting documentation CGG and Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. and Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) documents grids_ermapper Geographically registered gridded data, ER Mapper ERS format CGG and Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. and Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) grids_ermapper grids_geosoft Geosoft-format binary grids, these grids can be viewed in ESRI ArcMap using a free plugin from Geosoft or using the free viewer available from Geosoft CGG and Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. and Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) grids_geosoft images_registered GeoTiff format images of all gridded data Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) images_registered kmz Keyhole markup language (kml) kmz archive files of project data.
