Abstract
The Frome airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey was acquired by Geoscience Australia (GA) under the Australian Government’s Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP). This area is considered to have great potential for uranium mineralisation and includes Australia’s only two producing in situ leach uranium mines, Beverley and Honeymoon. In contrast to deposit-scale investigations carried out by industry, the Frome AEM survey was designed to reveal new geological information at a regional scale, reducing exploration risk, stimulating exploration investment and enhancing the prospectivity within the region primarily for uranium, but also for other commodities including copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc, iron ore, coal and groundwater. The Frome AEM survey (Figure 1) was flown by Fugro Airborne Surveys for GA, using the TEMPESTTM time-domain AEM system.
