Summary

NV5 Geospatial, in collaboration with EDCON-PRJ, Inc. acquired high-precision airborne magnetic and radiometric data over southwestern New Mexico. Survey flight-lines were flown in an east-west direction and are spaced at 200 meters. North-south tie lines are spaced at 2000 meters. The survey contained 142,673 line-kms (88,650 miles) of data and covered an area of over 25,900 sq. km (10,000 sq miles). Survey flights are flown with a high-performance fixed wing plane capable of a 20% climb/dive slope. The terrain clearance was 120 meters over low-relief areas, 150-meters over populated areas, (to comply with FAA regulations), and 200 meters over the mountainous portions of the survey. The majority of the survey is situated within the [...]
