Summary
This digital publication, GPR 2013-1, contains data produced from airborne geophysical surveys conducted in 2012 for three separate blocks, the Southern Dishna River, Fox Hills, and Beaver Creek survey areas, in the Iditarod, Ophir, and Holy Cross quadrangles in western Alaska. The areas are in the Iditarod, Innoko, and Aniak mining districts. Aeromagnetic and electromagnetic (EM) data were acquired by helicopter for about 1029 sq miles. Fugro Airborne Survey's frequency-domain DIGHEM V system was used for the EM data. GPR 2013-1 includes (1) raw and processed linedata; (2) gridded, Google Earth, and Geotiff formats of the calculated linedata; (3) maps of the data; and (4) vector files of data contours and flight lines.

The survey was part of the Alaska Airborne Geophysical/Geological Mineral Inventory Program funded by the Alaska State Legislature and managed by State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS). The program seeks to catalyze private-sector mineral development investment. The program delineates mineral zones on Alaska state lands that: 1) have major economic value; 2) can be developed in the short term to provide high quality jobs for Alaska; and 3) will provide economic diversification to help offset the loss of Prudhoe Bay oil revenue.
