The goals were achieved and more than 48. 000 line kilometres of data had been acquired, when the last flight out of Narssarsuaq was finished on 4 October 2012 and the EON Geosciences’ aircraft could start the trip back to its home base in Montreal after a job well done. The processing of the data is now well underway and all deliverables are expected to be in GEUS’ hands before the agreed deadline of 1 December 2012. The data are confidential until March 2013 and will be released during the PDAC in Toronto. At the same time, overview anomaly maps will be put on display at this portal.

After a successful EON Geoscience Ltd mobilization to Narsarsuaq, South Greenland on 17 June 2012, the necessary local tests and calibrations of the equipment have now been carried out and the production flights have started on 20 June 2012. The aircraft is a Piper Navajo PA-31, registration C-FEON.

Narsarsuaq will be the base of operations for 2012. Weather and geomagnetic conditions allowing, the EON Geoscience aircraft will depart daily on measuring flights in the survey area along the coast of south east Greenland. After in-field corrections and processing, the data will be preliminarily delivered to GEUS for quality control. The final data base and maps will be delivered to GEUS by EON Geoscience Ltd in December 2012. The data will be confidential until March 2013 and EON Geoscience Ltd has received instructions in accordance with the contract not to show the data, maps and results to anyone, while operating in Greenland. The goal is to acquire some 50,000 Line km data in 2012.
GEUS will at regular interval give the status of the data acquisition at the GEUS home page and on this site.
The project is a joint research project for the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum and GEUS. EON Geosciences Inc. was chosen for the airborne operations in Greenland through an international open tender, in which eight different companies participated.

GEUS can announce that the tender round for the geophysical survey Aeromag 2012 & 2013 over SE Greenland now has been concluded with the signing of a contract with EON Geosciences Ltd from Quebec, Canada, for both years. Eight companies participated in the tender.

GEUS and BMP are satisfied to be able to move ahead with this important survey that is to be carried out as a part of a joint BMP/GEUS research and development project. EON Geosciences Ltd. plans to mobilise May 2012 for the first year’s data acquisition, operating out of Narsarssuaq in South Greenland and utilizing Kulusuk as the required alternate airport. The goal is to acquire some 50.000 line kilometres of aeromagnetic data in 2012, to be used in the mineral resource assessment programme presently underway in the region, in another joint project of BMP and GEUS. The data will be released to the public around the time of the next PDAC conference in Toronto, March 2013. Until then the data are confidential.

The specifications of the survey correspond to the Aeromag surveying programme: line spacing 500 m, tie line spacing 5000 m, altitude c. 300 m draped.  Further news from the operations will be forthcoming here at regular intervals.

It happened at the “Greenland Day” arranged by the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum at the PDAC 2012. Reactions and comments are welcome!

In cooperation with the Bureau of Mineral and Petroleum (BMP), Government of Greenland, the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has invited tenders for the provision of airborne magnetic surveying in Greenland related to project AEROMAG 2012 & 2013. GEUS will be managing the project. Bids shall be submitted envelope to GEUS not later than 26 March 2012. For details, see the original announcement of the tender.
