To assist with exploration for possible buried magmatic massive copper-nickel sulphide deposits in Proterozoic Giles Complex ultramafic intrusions within the central Musgrave Province, and to simultaneously provide useful geophysical data for mapping subsurface geological structures and for outlining potential groundwater resources, the Musgrave Project joint venture partners applied for and received collaborative PACE 2020 Targeting part-subsidy funding for conducting a high-resolution, deep-seeking calibrated airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey using the newly developed Super High Moment SkyTEM system, which would be its first application in the Musgrave region. The subject survey was planned to cover areas already flown by Rio Tinto during 1999 with an early version of the TEMPEST AEM acquisition platform, which had failed to see conductors at depth and which had produced noisy data. In particular, the SkyTEM survey would concentrate on areas already of high priority for follow-up work by PepinNini, such as the Caroline intrusion and the Pink Slipper prospect, using optimally orientated flight line grids to try to maximise the bedrock response through conductive cover. Contractor GroundProbe Geophysics completed the approved work programme between 12-20 April 2012, using a helicopter-mounted SkyTEM instrument system to acquire a total of 1325 line km of time domain airborne EM coverage in three separate areas A, B and C, using a 30 m mean terrain clearance. The EM, magnetic and DTM data were read along 100 m spaced flight lines that were orientated in differing directions at each of the three survey grids. From the initial inspection of the AEM data by geophysics from PepinNini, the Musgrave Project JV operator, 14 likely bedrock conductors were identified, comprising none in Area A, two in Area B and twelve in Area C. The interpreted conductors were modelled and ranked, and possible drill sites were recommended to test them. In many cases, because the SkyTEM survey had yielded only single point anomalies or else a complex response, neither of which would allow an estimation of dip direction, ground EM follow-up will be required to define the target geometry prior to drilling.
