Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

The Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) flew an airborne geophysical survey of 66 000 line km covering the Forest Home, Georgetown, North Head and Forsayth 1:100 000 map Sheet areas on the Georgetown 1:250 000 map Sheet area in north Queensland. The area covered the highly prospective mineralised fields of the Georgetown Block. This survey, which formed part of the National Geoscience Mapping Accord, was flown along north-south flight lines 200 metres apart at an altitude of 80 metres above ground level. The survey was flown from September to November 1998. The total magnetic intensity, gamma-ray spectrometric and digital elevation model data collected during the survey, have been processed and are available for purchase. These data are sold as digital point located data, grids and hardcopy maps by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation.
