Summary
This digital publication, GPR 2014-2, contains data produced from airborne geophysical surveys conducted in 2012 and 2013 for the Farewell survey area in the McGrath and Yentna mining districts, McGrath and Lime Hills quadrangles, south-central Alaska. Aeromagnetic, electromagnetic (EM), and radiometric data were acquired by helicopter for about 954 sq miles, which includes the 100 sq mile Dalzell Creek area previously released. This publication incorporates data from the previously published Dalzell Creek area into the linedata, grids, maps, and other derivative pieces of this publication. CGG's frequency-domain DIGHEM V system was used for the EM data. GPR 2014-2 includes (1) raw and processed linedata; (2) gridded, Google Earth, [...]

CGG's frequency-domain DIGHEM V system was used for the EM data. GPR 2014-2 includes (1) raw and processed linedata; (2) gridded, Google Earth, and GeoTIFF formats of the calculated linedata; (3) maps of the data; and (4) vector files of data contours and flight lines.
The survey was part of the Strategic and Critical Minerals Capital Improvement Project (CIP), a subset of the Alaska Airborne Geophysical/Geological Mineral Inventory Program. The program was funded by the Alaska State Legislature and managed by State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS). The program seeks to catalyze private-sector mineral development investment. The program delineates mineral zones on Alaska state lands that: 1) have major economic value; 2) can be developed in the short term to provide high quality jobs for Alaska; and 3) will provide economic diversification to help offset the loss of Prudhoe Bay oil revenue. Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI) contributed funding for a portion of the area.
