In June to September 2022 an airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey was flown over parts of the Curnamona Province, Delamerian Orogen and Darling Region in South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. Geoscience Australia commissioned the survey in collaboration with the Department of Regional New South Wales as part of the Australian Government’s Exploring for the Future program. A total of 14,509 line kilometres of new data were acquired, of which 3,407 line kilometres were funded by the Department of Regional New South Wales. GA managed all aspects of the acquisition, quality control and processing of the AEM data.

The survey was flown by Skytem Australia Pty Ltd using its SkyTEM312Fast AEM system. The survey was conducted on east-west lines spaced at 2,500 m and 5,000 m apart. Skytem Australia Pty Ltd also processed the data. This data package includes the acquisition and processing report, the final processed AEM data and the results of the 1D laterally constrained inversion of the data to conductivity-depth estimates that was carried out by the contractor. The data package additionally contains the results and derived products from a 1D inversion carried out by Geoscience Australia with its own inversion software.

Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia’s geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia’s transition to a low emissions economy, strong resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia’s regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225m investment by the Australian Government.
