Abstract

Airborne electromagnetics (AEM) surveying has been by far the most successful mining geophysical technique ever developed. Since the start of commercial use in early 1951, AEM can be credited with directly aiding in the discovery of more than 80 deposits, with a gross value of more than $100 billion.
