Laverton-Edjudina airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, Western Australia, 1969

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

An airborne magnetic and radiometric survey of the LAVERTON and EDJUDINA 1:250,000 map areas was flown in 1966 to assist the systematic regional geological mapping of the Western Australian Precambrian Shield, and the search for metals. Virtually the entire magnetic pattern is attributed to differences in magnetic properties between rock units at or near ground level. Geological strikes and the boundaries of major rock units have been interpreted by delineating magnetic trends, by subdividing the area into zones of specified magnetic character, and by assessing the geological significance of these zones by reference to mapped geology.
