Field notes
Modern Mag now has a crew with standard 11 mining course induction certificates. This complements our current Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and Toolbox safety practices we apply to ground magnetic surveys. Our crews have current first aid certificates...

A total of 63.70 line kilometers [of ground magnetics] was covered during the month of June as area totaling 2.53 km2. The expected monthly target is 360 line kilometers...
Most magnetometers can tell you where they have been, but only a few can tell you where to go.
For efficiency, ground magnetic surveys are usually conducted along parallel survey lines – or grids. In the bad old days prior to GPS, these grids would...
Some walk the line straighter than others. Walking straighter lines when conducting ground geophysical surveys increases the production l-km in a day. Alternatively, if there is a fixed amount of work to do in the day, then straighter lines means less...
