SUMMARY
A SkyTEM airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey was flown during the period 9th November to 22nd November 2017 in the Olympic Domain, South Australia. The area is located on the 1:250000 map sheets, SH53-12 (Andamooka) and SH53-16 (Torrens) approximately 420 kilometres north-north west of the city of Adelaide, and acquired 3073 line km of TEM and magnetic data. The projected grid coordinates have been supplied in GDA94 MGA Zone 53.
The aim of the survey is to provide geophysical information to support investigation of the geological context and setting of the area for mineral systems of a major regional geological province. It will provide data to allow for the modelling of the following at a reconnaissance scale:
a) trends in regolith thickness and variability b) variations in bedrock conductivity c) basement/bedrock paleo-topography d) conductivity of key bedrock (lithology related) conductive units under cover e) the groundwater resource potential of the region
This report lists the SkyTEM system information and specifications relevant for this survey, and describes the processing carried out on the data. A list of the deliverables has also been provided, along with explanatory tables.

Interleaving of Transmitter Moments
All data were acquired using interleaved low and high moment transmitter modes, consisting of 110 low moment positive and negative pulse pairs at 275 Hz, and 30 high moment pulse pairs at 25Hz, which repeats every 1.6 seconds.
Sign Convention of the Data
EM data
The vertical (Z) component electromagnetic data is referenced such that when measured over a purely-conductive (non-polarizable) one-dimensional earth it is positive. Early-time Z-component negatives are sometimes observed in very resistive areas due to the transmitter bias, if it has not been completely removed from the measured data. Late time Z-component negatives are occasionally observed due to induced polarization effects.
The horizontal inline (X) component electromagnetic data is positive in the flight direction: The X-component response measured over a purely-conductive (non-polarisable) one-dimensional earth

is typically negative. However, X-component data is strongly affected by frame tilt, which can introduce a large contribution from the much-stronger Z-component response and significantly distort the measured X-component response. The only rigorous way to account for this effect in the data is to explicitly include the transmitter loop tilts in the X and Y directions in the forward/inverse modelling algorithm used to interpret the data.
Tiltmeter data
Angle X (measured by both TL1 and TL2) is positive when the nose of the transmitter loop frame is pitched up, i.e. over level ground, Angle X is positive when the nose of the frame is further from the ground than the base of the tail rudder.
Angle Y (measured by both TL1 and TL2) is positive when the starboard (right) side of the transmitter loop frame is tilted down i.e. over level ground, Angle Y is positive when the starboard side of the frame is closer to the ground than the port side.
GPS Navigation System
Two Novatel OEMV GPS receivers were employed for the survey.
The OMNISTAR High Precision real time differential correction service was used to provide a real time input to GP2 for the primary navigation system.
As a backup, both GP1 and GP2 recorded information, for which differentially-corrected positions could be obtained via post-processing if required, in conjunction with data from a ground base station recorded at 1 second intervals.

3. CALIBRATION
Reference Site Calibrations
The complete SkyTEM equipment was calibrated at the National Danish Reference Site (GeoFysikSamarbejdet, Aarhus University, 2012).
Calibration factors and time shift are given below. These factors have been applied to the delivered EM data, and therefore the data do not need to be scaled or the window times do not need to be shifted prior to modelling/inversion.
LM: Factor 0.94 Time shift -1.98 e-6 s
HM: Factor 0.94 Time shift -1.8e-6 µs

4. POWER LINE NOISE INTENSITY
The PLNI monitor values are derived from a frequency analysis of the raw Z-component EM data. For every low moment EM data block (110 pulse pairs) a PLNI value is obtained by Fourier transformation of the measured values of the latest low moment gate. The Fourier transformation is evaluated at the local power transmission frequency (50 Hz) yielding the amplitude spectral density of the power line noise.
CAUTION - When evaluating the PLNI values one should be aware of the following factors that may give rise to anomalous PLNI patterns unrelated to the actual power line noise level:
• Noise sources, other than power line noise, may contribute to the total noise spectral density in the data at the power transmission frequency. When power line noise is present it tends to dominate all such other noise sources.
• The PLNI values are not corrected for flying height or frame angles, which means that adjacent lines crossing the same power line may not exhibit the same values of PLNI.

5. DATA PROCESSING
GPS Positions and Coordinates
Only the Omnistar HP differentially corrected GPS, GP2 position information were used for the survey. The data were recorded in the WGS84 datum.
The GPS positions were then translated to the centre of the frame based on the instrument x, y and z positions given in Table 3.
The corrected positions were transformed to GDA94 datum, Map Grid of Australia Zone 53 Projection
Laser Altimeter Data
The height processing involves manual and automated routines using a combination of the SkyTEM in-house software SkyLab and Oasis Montaj Geosoft.
The processing involves the following steps:
Keeping the 5 largest of the 30 values acquired per second, and discarding the remainder to correct for the canopy effect (treetop filter);
3 sec running box-car filter (smoothing filter);
Tilt correction, using the inclinometer data, to account for the altimeter not pointing vertically downward;
Averaging of the tilt corrected values from the two laser altimeters;
A 3 sec low pass filter is then applied to the final result.
Digital Elevation Model
A digital elevation model (DEM) was derived by subtracting the processed laser altimeter (height above ground) data from the GPS altitude (height above the GRS80 ellipsoid) data to yield the height of the ground above the GRS80 ellipsoid. Then the ellipsoid-geoid separation (N-value) was subtracted to yield the elevation of the ground above the Australian Height Datum (AHD).
ElevationAHD = GPS_HeightGRS80 – Laser_Altimeter – N_Value
The subtracted N-values were interpolated from the AUSGeoid09 grid values obtained via the Geoscience Australia website:
ftp://ftp.ga.gov.au/geodesy-outgoing/gravity/ausgeoid/
Grids and images of Digital elevation models for the three areas are included in the digital data delivery.
The image of the elevation model is shown in Figure 9.

Electromagnetic Data
Raw (binary) SkyTEM data have been processed using SkyTEM proprietary software.
Prior to processing and primary field correction (PFC) was applied to the early LM moment gates (9 to 14) to remove the effects of residual currents that occur due to magnetic coupling between the receiver coils and the transmitter loop. PFC is performed by collecting Low Moment data whilst flying the system so the LM response is clear of any influence from the ground. The primary magnetic field coupling between the receiver coils and the transmitter loop is continuously hardware-monitored, providing a separate value for the magnetic field coupling during each transient sounding. These data are used for raw data correction in a separate post-processing step. The primary field compensation technique has proven stable and has routinely yielded a reduction of the primary field influence in very early time gates by a factor exceeding 17dB.
Following PFC on the Low Moment data the data are normalized in respect to the effective Rx coil area, Tx coil area, number of turns and current giving the units [pV/(m4*A)].
The EM data is filtered adaptively based on the signal-to-noise ratio. The applied EM filtering method is based on iterative weighted spline fitting routines, which operate in positive/negative symmetric transform spaces. The data weighting scheme relies on an extensive noise evaluation performed on the individual gate values of the raw data decays. Optimised sets of averaging filters are used for each measured moment and type of receiver coil in a stepwise averaging process. This allows for optimal suppression of motion induced noise as well as cultural noise components, while keeping track of the resulting data uncertainty.
Magnetic Data
Final processing of the magnetic data involved the application of conventional corrections to
compensate for diurnal variation, International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) removal, and
heading effects prior to gridding. Processing of magnetic data was implemented in Geosoft’s Oasis
Montaj software. The steps involved follow, with the details provided thereafter:
Pre-processing of static (1 Hz) magnetic data acquired at the magnetic base stations
Pre-processing of airborne magnetic data
Standard corrections to compensate the diurnal variation.
IGRF correction
Gridding
No levelling was performed
Pre-processing
Pre-processing of the airborne magnetic data involved resampling of data to 2 Hz and translation of the position to the center of the transmitter frame in SkyLab. The data were then manually edited to remove spikes and other spurious data. The data were then low-pass filtered using a filter of 3.0 s width.
Diurnal correction
Correction for the diurnal variation was made using the digitally recorded ground base station magnetometer data. The ground base station data were first manually de-spiked then low-pass filtered with a filter width of 10 s. The pre-processed base station data, which represent short term temporal magnetic field variations, were merged together with the airborne magnetic data using the date and UTC time as the synchronization channels.

AUS_10031_OD
Page 26 of 39
These base station data were then subtracted from the airborne magnetometer readings. Then a constant value was added back into the result. The resultant delivered data field from this step is the Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI).
IGRF correction
The Geosoft Oasis Montaj Levelling Toolkit was used for applying the IGRF corrections to the magnetic data. The IGRF is a long-wavelength regional magnetic field calculated from permanent observatory data collected around the world. The IGRF is updated and determined by an international committee of geophysicists every 5 years. Secular variations in the Earth’s magnetic field are incorporated into the determination of the IGRF. The IGRF correction was applied prior to levelling. The applied corrections were calculated using the following IGRF model parameters:
IGRF model year: IGRF 12th generation
Date: variable according to date channel in database
Position: variable according to GPS longitude and latitude
Elevation: variable according to magnetic sensor altitude derived from DGPS data.
The resultant delivered data field from this step is the IGRF corrected TMI (TMI_IGRF). The final TMI_IGRF is seen on Figure 10, grids and maps of TMI_IGRF are included in the digital data delivery.

6. INVERSION OF THE SkyTEM DATA
Following is a description of modelling and inversion of SkyTEM data acquired during the survey.
Outline
The SkyTEM data have been inverted with the AarhusInv program (Auken et al., 2015) using the Aarhus Workbench LCI algorithm (Auken et al. 2005; Auken et al. 2002), a group of time-domain EM (TEM) soundings are inverted simultaneously using 1-D models (Kirkegaard and Auken, 2015). Each sounding yields a separate layered model, but the models are constrained laterally.
The result of the LCI inversion is a quasi-2D model section that varies smoothly along the profile and yields a conductivity model that combines the very good shallow depth resolution offered by the low moment data and the larger depth of investigation from the high moment data.
Input data and noise
The input data to the inversion were LM gates 10 to 26 and HM gates 16 to 38 of the Z-component. The manual masking of portions of data thought to contain coupling effects (e.g. due to power lines) was not a requirement of the project. Accordingly cultural effects in the EM data could be manifested in the inversion results and final conductivity database. Also negative decays can be observed in both LM and HM Z component response which could possibly due to IP effect. At present Aarhus Workbench does not resolve non-linear resistive properties.
A nominal uncertainty of 3% was applied to each datum, as well as the calculated relative uncertainty as provided with the EM data.
Model parameterization and initial model
The LCI code was run in multi-layer, smooth-model mode. In this mode the layer thicknesses are kept fixed and the data are inverted only for the resistivity of each layer. Inversion for flight altitude is also included after the first 5 inversion iterations. Multi-layer smooth-model inversion is slower to compute, but is usually able to provide a very close fit to the observed data.
For this survey a 30 layer model was used, in which the bottommost layer is an infinitely thick halfspace. The layer thicknesses increase logarithmically with depth. The thicknesses and depths to the top of each layer are given in Table 17.
The initial model resistivity structure was a homogenous half-space model with an auto calculated starting resistivity. This resistivity is the mean of the apparent resistivities calculated for each sounding.

Regularization
Smoothness constraints are applied on the variation of resistivity with depth. In addition lateral constraints are applied between adjacent models.
Constraints are given as factors, i.e. a factor of 1.1 means that the parameter can vary between the starting value divided by 1.1 to the starting value multiplied by 1.1 (Aarhus University, n.d.).
The LCI inversion allows for horizontal and vertical constraints to be set for resistivities. For this survey, the vertical resistivity constraints were set to 2.0. So for each iteration, the resistivity of the layer above, and below each layer can be between [2 X initialRes], or [0.5 X initialRes].
Horizontal constraints are scaled by distance using a reference distance and power function:
n
refopt Dist
GPSCC
11
Where C is the constraint used scaled by distance, Copt is the optimal constraint at a sounding distance of Distref and ∆GPS is the actual sounding distance. For this survey, Copt is the horizontal constraint given in Table 17, and Distref =25 m. The power law dependency n, was set to one. Note that these constraints are not strict, and do not prevent abrupt changes, if fitting of the data requires it.
The constraint on the inverted flight height was set to 1.3.
Depth of investigation
The depth of investigation (DOI) is determined by performing a sensitivity analysis of the cumulated response of the data to each layer’s resistivity from the deepest layer upwards, (Christiansen and Auken, 2012).
Qualifications on the conductivity model
Geophysical inversion is a non-unique process. This means that many possible conductivity models could possibly explain the data. Several factors contribute to this non-uniqueness, some of which are outlined below.
Data and noise model
The accuracy of conductivity model generated by the inversion is influenced by the noise in the TEM data. This noise is reduced by selective stacking of delay time series and by applying appropriate filters in the receiver system, nevertheless noise is present in the data.
Data insufficiency
For SkyTEM data, the insufficiency lies primarily in the limited delay time range that can be obtained. The earliest obtainable time gate is determined by the turnoff of the Tx current, and the latest useful time gate is determined by the signal to noise ratio. Increasing the Tx moment will give better measurements at late times, and thus improve the depth penetration, but also increase the turnoff time and thus remove early-time gates, thereby making the near-surface resolution poorer. This trade-off is partially solved by transmitting an alternating sequence of (1) a low moment that can be turned off quickly to give good near-surface resolution, and (2) a high moment that will improve the signal-to-noise ratio at late times, thus improving depth penetration.

Inconsistency between 1D modelling and 3D geology
When using 1D modelling in the inversion of SkyTEM data, inconsistency arises where the lateral gradient of conductivity is large, e.g. typically in mining applications. However, also in environmental investigations, inconsistencies can arise, typically where strong near-surface conductors have abrupt boundaries.
Often such inconsistency is indicated by the data residual being high. One should look upon the inversion results with some caution at these locations. 3D effects can also reveal themselves by the so-called ‘pant legs’, i.e. conductive or resistive structures projecting at an angle of approximately 30 degrees from the horizontal at the edges of high contrast structures.
Conductivity Model Sections
The models resulting from the inversion are presented as sections of conductivity - depth intervals and are delivered in digital format.
Model sections
The model sections can be found in the data delivery folder as PNG and PDF format The main section plots consist of four subplots as seen in Figure 11. The top plot displays the inverted models, with topography, where the conductivity of the individual layers are colour coded according to the colour scale bar, which is displayed using a logarithmic distribution. The faded zone indicates the estimated depth of investigation.
The measured and inverted flight elevation are shown with a black and blue line, respectively, above the model section.
In each section, the region below the estimate of the DOI, the inverted conductivity is determined predominantly by the regularization, i.e. the conductivity is essentially undetermined.
Underneath the model section plot are two plots of the measured data (dots) together with the response of the inverted models (solid lines). LM is low moment data and HM is high moment data. The bottom plot is the data residual (black line) of the inversions.
Blank sections in the data profile indicate areas where the signal to noise ratio has been too low for any data to be used in the inversion. Essentially the resistivity in those sections can be considered as “Very high” (>1000 Ωm). Alternatively cultural features have been superimposed on the ground response, which can also lead to data being discarded prior to the inversion.
Residuals
The quality of the fit between the observed data and the predicted data (i.e., the calculated forward model response of the conductivity model resulting from the inversion) can be evaluated by inspecting the residuals. The data residual is calculated by comparing the measured data with the response of the resulting model after inversion. If the residual is in the vicinity of 1, the misfit between the response of the final model and the data is, on average, equal to the noise. A high residual is due to data that has noise greater than the noise model takes into account. This can be seen where resistivities are very high and the signal consequently very low. A high data residual can also be due to the inconsistency between the 1D model assumed in the inversion and the 2D/3D character of the real world geology. These are found primarily at the edges of sharp lateral conductivity contrasts. Finally, coupling effects due to power lines and other man made conductors can also be a source of a high residual.

Layer conductivity maps
The conductivity maps can be found in the data delivery folder as PDF/PNG as well as MapInfo located images.
These maps show the inverted conductivity for each of the model depth layers. As the thickness of the model layers increases downwards the maps represent a varying thickness interval. The depth interval is stated on the files and is in metres below the surface. An example can be seen in Figure 12.
