1. INTRODUCTION
During November 2007, Geophysics GPR International Inc. flew a helicopterborne magnetic and EM-VLF geophysical survey for Canadian Royalties Inc. The survey was composed of one single block with a minimum coverage of 150 linekm, located near Matachewan, (Ontario) on the NTS sheet 42A102. A total of 141 line-km was flown from November 23rd to 24th 2007. The linear coverage difference is due too the fact that some tie-lines were not flown.
The Helimager™ system is a towed bird system configured with two caesium vapour magnetometers at the end of the lateral arm and one on top of the horizontal boom. The system also includes two DGPS systems, one mounted into the helicopter and onto the bird. Finally, a EM-VLF system was attached to the bird.
This report is intended to be read in association with the printed maps provided in Appendix C.
Data processing and quality control was carried out by Josianne Morel, Eng Jr and Olivier Letourneau, Phys. The report was written by Isabelle D'Amours, Eng. M.A.Sc. and Olivier Letourneau, Phys.

4.2 Quality control
During data acquisition, quality control was carried out on data on a daily basis by GPR's data processor to ensure that quality remained within specifications. At the end of the planned survey, data were reviewed by GPR's team leader and re-flight lines were identified. Profiles were checked after each production day to ensure correct flight path recovery and instrument noise was verified using Geosoft Oasis Montaj Software.

5. SURVEY EQUIPMENT
5.1 The HELIMAGERTM Gradiometer system
The HELIMAGERTM system consists of a tri-axial magnetic gradiometer, developed by Geophysics GPR International Inc. The gradiometer was installed on a stable helicopter-borne vector platform capable of accepting a range of different sensors I instruments, particularly useful for the mapping and exploration of mountainous regions. The platform allows the arrangement of the sensors in three orthogonal directions. A photograph of the platform is presented below (Figure 3).
Advantages of measuring the lateral gradients include the production of bidirectional total magnetic field gridding using measured transversal magnetic gradient. It may also be used for the gridding of the Laplace Enhanced Vertical Gradient, as we" as allowing Laplace Enhanced Total Field gridding that are both free of a" diurnal variations, if data quality permits it, which is the case for this project.

5.2 Helicopter-borne magnetometers
Three {3} Geometries G-823A (optically pumped caesium vapour) total magnetic field sensors with a sampling interval of 0.1 second were mounted on the gradiometer, below a 30 meters cable under the helicopter. Two (2) of the sensors were installed at the end of the horizontal boom (6m spacing) and one above the vertical boom (1.5m spacing). The magnetometers send directly the measured magnetic field intensity as nanoTesla (nT) units to the data acquisition system via a RS-232 port.
5.3 Base-station magnetometer
A Geometries G-856 Ax (proton precession) total magnetic field sensor, with a sampling interval of 4 seconds was used to record the diurnal variation of the magnetic field at the base-station's location. The base-station was set up at a location away from power lines and main roads to avoid interference from traffic. It was located a few kilometers from the helipad in a nearby forest.
5.4 DGPS positioning
A Crescent R120 DGPS receiver that offers many differential correction options for various environments and worldwide coverage was used for inflight navigation, with a sampling interval of 0.1 second. The antenna was mounted directly on the bird, and allowed an accurate positioning of the bird.
The DGPS system provides an accurate positioning as well as the height above the WGS-84 ellipsoid. A LED-type track bar (from AG-NAV Inc.) was used by the pilot for efficient line tracking in any lighting conditions. A second DGPS comprising the same elements was mounted on the helicopter.
5.5 Radar altimeter
A FreeFUght TRA3000 radar altimeter, combined with a TRI40 Indicator unit mounted on the helicopter provides the pilot with highly accurate altitudeabove-ground-Ievel (AGL) information.
5.6 Helicopter Data Acquisition and Recording System
The Helicopter data acquisition and recording system is composed of proprietary hardware developed by Geophysics GPR International Inc. and an industry standard navigation I recording software package (Hypack Max 6.2). Data were recorded on hard disk and backed up after each flight

5.7 Field computer workstation
A dedicated laptop computer was used on-site for the purpose of displaying geophysical data for quality control, calculating and displaying the navigation, producing preliminary magnetic and VLF total field maps, and backing up digital data.

6. DATA PROCESSING
6.1 Magnetic data
1) Data checking, editing, reformatting and flight path recovery
Data recorded on the helicopter were transferred after each flight to the processing computer for verification and quality control. Raw GPS data (longitude, latitude and height) were recorded in the WGS-84 geodetic system. These coordinates were transformed into the NAD83 datum, UTM projection, Zone 17 North by the navigation software and compared in real-time to the theoretical coordinates of the flight paths to provide a correction to the pilot.
The DGPS data were recorded at 10Hz (0.1 s interval), the same rate as magnetic data and exported for flight path recovery and quality control.
Raw line data was transformed into Oasis Montaj .XYZ format by a proprietary software program. Data coordinates were re-projected in NAD83 datum, UTM projection Zone 17 North using Oasis Montaj.
2) Diurnal corrections
The magnetic data recorded at the base-station were synchronized, using the GPS time and merged with the helicopter-borne data. Subsequently, the diurnal corrections obtained by subtracting the mean value of the base-station readings were applied to the data after low-pass filtering.
3) Lag corrections
A lag correction of 0.85 second was applied to the final processed magnetic data based on a lag test executed on survey location. The results of this test can be found in Appendix A. The LevCorr processing module in Oasis Montaj was used to carry out this operation.
4) Heading corrections
A heading correction was not applied to the magnetic data since the original data was of sufficient quality. The results of the heading calibration can be found in Appendix A.

5) Tie-line levelling
Classical tie-line levelling was partially performed on the horizontal gradients data due to the missing Tie-lines. The LevTieLine processing module in Oasis Montaj was used to carry out these operations.
6) Enhanced total magnetic field
The total magnetic field was enhanced using the measured horizontal gradients based on Laplace's law for potential field and a Hilbert transform property.
7) Enhanced vertical gradient
The vertical gradient was enhanced using the measured horizontal gradients based on Laplace's law for potential field and an Hilbert transform property.
Figure 4 presents a summary of the processing sequence used to obtain the final magnetic grid.

6.2 Digital Terrain Model (DTM) data processing
The Digital Terrain Model was obtained by subtracting the radar altimeter readings from the DGPS height. The radar altimeter was corrected for an estimated lag of 2 second.
A standard combination of a Butterworth high-pass filter followed by a directional cosine filter was used to obtain the residual error grid, which was imported in the Oasis Montaj database, filtered and subtracted from the original to obtain the de-corrugated DTM data.
6.3 Presentation
The Enhanced Total Magnetic (ETF) Field, Enhanced Vertical Gradient (EVG), Digital Terrain Model (DTM), Very Low Frequency (VLF) Total Field and VLF Quadrature were gridded using the Minimum Curvature algorithm of Oasis Montaj using a cell size of 10.
