About this survey

A prospect-scale broadband magnetotelluric survey of the Hillside iron oxide copper-gold deposit on eastern Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, acquired by the University of Adelaide in two field campaigns from March to July 2012. The survey investigated the electrical structure of the deposit beneath shallow cover and relationships between MT and other geophysical observations, particularly a 2D seismic reflection profile. The archived programme comprises 73 soundings over approximately 2 by 3 km, including 15 closely spaced stations, HSSL01-HSSL15, along the seismic line. Sites recorded Ex, Ey, Hx and Hy at 1000 Hz using Earth Data PR6-24 loggers and LEMI-120 induction coils; Hz was also acquired but was not included in the transfer-function processing. Strong 50 Hz industrial noise and harmonics were notch filtered, and transfer functions were estimated using BIRRP 5.1 with remote referencing. AusMT serves impedance transfer functions for 72 stations at 46 periods spanning 0.0064-218.4 s.
