In this paper, I introduce an example of an airborne electromagnetic survey for a uranium exploration project, focusing on the newly adopted data-processing method.<BR>In 1996, we performed an airborne electromagnetic survey for a uranium exploration project in Arnhem Land, Australia. The aim of the survey was to map conductive zones, which might be related to uranium mineralization. A major concern in airborne electromagnetic surveys in this area is the existence of a conductive near-surface layer, which is considered to mask deeper resistivity features. After performing some simulations, we confirmed that our target conductive zones could be identified by using a multifrequency airborne electromagnetic survey despite the existence of the relatively conductive surface in this area.<BR>In the data processing of the survey, we tried multi-element image-processing techniques, such as RGB compositi and image ratio operations, to cope with surface conductivity variations. That those processing results mapped basement conductive zones was supported by vertical electric sounding and confirmed by drilling.<BR>The application of these image-processing techniques to the survey data was also intended as a test of the suitability of these techniques for further multi-element intergrated analysis: combined analysis using several survey methods. The phrase "multi-element integrated analysis" refers here to the production of geological indicators from several types of (geophysical) data, which usually have different spatial density, accuracy and resolution, by analyzing them together statistically. Since a direct correspondence between geological features and observed geophysical survey data is rare, our final goal was to establish multi-element integrated anlysis as a tool for linking them. The trial described in this paper is the efirst step toward this goal.
