Abstract [en]
The Rajapalot gold-cobalt project in northern Finland is an exciting, relatively new discovery, still being explored with hopes to start mining in the future. The area was found by a IP/Resistivity survey in 2013. Extensive geophysical follow-up surveys have delineated several electromagnetic targets, one of which, named Raja, is the target anomaly this master thesis is built upon. A TEM survey was carried out during late August to early September 2018. The data collected was analyzed, processed and later modelled in Maxwell using Leroi, a CSIRO module. Three separate models are produced with one, two, and three plates respectively. The result is compared to existing VTEM and resistivity models.
Abstract [sv]
Rajapalot guld-kobolt-projektet i norra Finland är en spännande, relativt ny upptäckt som fortfarande undersöks med hopp om att starta gruvbrytning i framtiden. Området upptäcktes via en IP/Resistivitets-undersökning under 2013. Omfattande geofysiska undersökningar har avgränsat flera elektromagnetiska anomalier, varav en, döpt Raja, är den anomali som den här masteruppsatsen är uppbyggd kring. En TEM-undersökning utfördes under slutet av augusti, början av september 2018. Insamlade data analyserades, bearbetades och modellerades senare i Maxwell med hjälp av Leroi, en insticksmodul från CSIRO. Tre separata modeller togs fram med respektive, en, två, och tre plattor. Resultatet jämfördes mot befintliga VTEM-, och resistivitetsmodeller.
