Interpretation Report of Airborne Magnetometer Survey.

Abstract

The 1964 Daly Airborne Magnetometer Survey was conducted by Aero Service Limited for Barkley Oil Company within OP73 part 3 in the Daly Waters area in the Northern Territory. The primary purpose of the aeromagnetic survey and the interpretation was to locate and define geologic information as it is reflected in the aeromagnetic records. The survey was planned to record the magnetic intensity at an elevation of 1,500ft above mean sea level along East-West traverses spaced 1mile apart in bands of three with the bands spaced 11.5miles apart.

Probably the only area of future exploration lies in the possibility that the volcanics were under marine conditions and that they were accompanied by a sufficient amount of marine interbedded sediments.
