Abstract
Acquiring airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data is a fast, reliable and cost effective way to achieve a spatial insight into the top 2-300m of the earth. Mineral exploration companies commonly use AEM in their exploration programs, particularly to target mineralization. Increasingly AEM data are now acquired for groundwater assessment to help support mine site water supply strategies. In Australia, it is not uncommon to find a range of AEM systems used in one area, but datasets may not be linked or compared as they are often acquired independently by different companies.
