G'day all

Does anybody know the value of Radiometric and/or Magnetic Maps? I regurarly come accross some of these in some company reports and would like to know whether the red colours are anything to go by. I do understand that the darker red colours indicate higher density. However, does this mean that your chances in finding gold in these areas are better than in the blue/green areas?

Thanks for the replies in advance!

I have never seen a link between radioactivie rocks and gold concentrations. Doesn't mean there isn't one butt.
Gold is pretty much everywhere, but where there is concentrations of radioactive minerals there may or may not be gold, can go either way.

HI KUDA do not know much about the working or how to read the maps but did see aircraft working at very low altitude approx 300m above ground on dorrigo platou about 2 yearsago the radio abc local were asking farm owners to shift cattle and stock out of area in the flight path where i stopped and looked you could see the flight patern out to sea and see the aircraft turn around and come back maybe this had something to do with the mapping cheers ex kiwi afro
