Combined ground-UAV TDEM survey over gold prospect in BaikalPatom Highlands (eastern Russia) with detection of AIP effect.

The study is describing a combined ground-UAV TDEM survey, carried out over one of the gold prospects in Eastern Russia. A drone-mounted receiver was used to measure TDEM response from ground, excited by a transient field powered line transmitter. Effect of Airborne Induced Polarization was detected in the data, so the collected data were further inverted using a Cole-Cole model approximation in order to extract the four physical parameters, which were then mapped and interpreted in an attempt to delineate mineral exploration targets.
