Abstract

A VTEM survey was flown over the Drybones kimberlite in 2005, followed by a ZTEM survey in 2009. These data sets were inverted on multiple previous occasions using various 1D, 2D, 3D and plate modelling algorithms. VTEM data showed AIP effects, manifested as negative voltages and otherwise skewed transients. This created artefacts in conventional inversions of VTEM data, which showed some inconsistencies with ZTEM inversions, as well as with the known geology. In 2015 the VTEM data were transferred to Aarhus Geophysics, reprocessed and reinverted using the modified “AarhusINV” code with Cole-Cole modelling. The results are presented in current abstract, they appear to be more interpretable and provide better data fit, than previous inversion attempts.
