Geophysical Data Sets 1000 Series

In Geophysical Data Sets 1001-1006, 1009-1028, and 1031-1034 (released June 9, 2003), the following errors were noted. In the survey reports and documentation (Microsoft Word 97 (.doc) and Adobe Acrobat (pdf formats), any and all mentions of, or references to, the digital data series identifier (i.e., Geophysical Data Set 10xx-Revised or Geophysical Data Set 10xx rev) should exclude the word "Revised" or abbreviation "rev".

Geophysical Data Set 1014

Ontario Airborne Geophysical Surveys, Magnetic and Electromagnetic Data; Grid and Profile Data, ASCII and Geosoft® Formats, Matachewan Area

Original Release Date: June 8, 2003
Notification Date of Data Errata: June 2, 2008

An error in the co-ordinates for the EM anomaly database (both Geosoft® binary .gdb and ASCII .csv formats) has been identified. The error affects the NAD27 UTM co-ordinates, the NAD83 UTM co-ordinates and the NAD83 geographic (longitude and latitude) co-ordinates. The error can result in the EM anomalies being plotted near the equator. The NAD27 geographic co-ordinates in the database are unaffected by this error and are correct.

The EM anomaly database, in both binary and ASCII formats, has been updated and the erroneous co-ordinate values corrected.

Geophysical Data Set 1035 and 1036

Geophysical Data Set 1035
Single Master Gravity and Aeromagnetic Data for Ontario, ASCII, Excel® and Access® Formats

Geophysical Data Set 1036
Single Master Gravity and Aeromagnetic Data for Ontario, Geosoft® Format

Original Release Date: July 12, 1999
Notification Date of Data Errata: December 9, 2014

An error was discovered in the Lambert Conformal Conic co-ordinates of the magnetic and gravity databases. The X co-ordinate values should have had 1 000 000 added to them. The latitude and longitude values are unaffected. Also, in the database of digitized aeromagnetic values, “ONDTZMAG”, it was found that the parameter names “EDITMAG” and “LEVMAG” had been switched. Both of these errors are present in Geophysical Data Set 1035 (ASCII format) and in Geophysical Data Set 1036 (Geosoft® binary format).

These errors have been corrected and replacement versions of these Geophysical Data Sets are available. If you purchased this product on CD, please contact Publication Sales and a replacement CD will be sent to you free of charge. Alternatively, you may visit the GeologyOntario application to obtain the corrected versions of GDS 1035 and GDS 1036.

We regret any inconvenience these errors may have caused.

Geophysical Data Set 1053

Discover Abitibi Kirkland Lake - Larder Lake Airborne Magnetic Survey

Original Release Date: November 15, 2004
Notification Date of Data Errata: November 25, 2004

A shift in the conventionally gridded magnetic data in the eastern part of the survey (Block 2) has resulted in the following errors in the digital products:

Geophysical Data Set 1053a ASCII grids klmagnad83.gxf, klmagnad27.gxf, kl2vdnad83.gxf and kl2vdnad27.gxf are displaced 222 metres south and 16 metres west in the eastern part of the grid. Clients are advised not to use these grids and use the gradient enhanced grids instead (i.e., klmaghgnad83.gxf, klmaghgnad27.gxf, kl2vdhgnad83.gxf and kl2vdhgnad27.gxf).

Geophysical Data Set 1053b Geosoft® format binary grids klmagnad83.grd, klmagnad27.grd, kl2vdnad83.grd and kl2vdnad27.grd are displaced 222 metres south and 16 metres west in the eastern part of the grid. Clients are advised not to use these grids and use the gradient enhanced grids in their place (i.e., klmaghgnad83.grd, klmaghgnad27.grd, kl2vdhgnad83.grd and kl2vdhgnad27.grd).

Geophysical Data Set 1079b

Original Release Date: April 14, 2015
Notification Date of Data Errata: February 27, 2017

An error has been identified in the embedded zone for the UTM co-ordinates in the EM anomaly database (Geosoft® profile .gdb format), specifically in GDS 1079b volume 3. The UTM co-ordinates (x_nad83 and y_nad83) in profile database file KL2MAGEM.gdb are correct, but the embedded UTM zone was incorrectly assigned to Zone 16N instead of Zone 17N. The embedded zone information has been corrected.

The files affected include all the NAD83 grids as well as the NAD83 co-ordinate channels in the profile, EM anomaly and Keating databases. Please note that all the NAD27 co-ordinate information is correct, including all the NAD27 grids as well as the NAD27 co-ordinate channels in the profile, EM anomaly and Keating databases.

Two possible interim solutions are available to our clients requiring the NAD83 data:

  1. If you have the appropriate software, reproject the NAD27 data using Canada Mean or Manitoba-Ontario local datums (the difference between the two is a few metres, well within the surveys' margin of error).
  2. If not, "move" or shift the NAD83 grids by the values listed in the above table (positive values: move grid EAST/NORTH; negative values: move grid WEST/SOUTH) or add the values in the above table to the NAD83 coordinate channels in the profile, EM anomaly and Keating databases.

The above data sets will be corrected and re-released after all the magnetic data has been leveled to the Single Master Aeromagnetic Grid for Ontario, a project presently nearing completion. When these data sets are re-released, please return the original CD to Publication Sales, and a replacement copy will be sent to you free of charge.

Geophysical Data Set 1217-Revised: Natogami Lake Area

An error was discovered in the apparent resistivity grids for the relevelled Operation Treasure Hunt (OTH) Natogami Lake geophysical data set (Geophysical Data Set 1217-Revised) released on December 6, 2002. The error affects only the grids listed in the following table. The remaining grids as well as the profile, EM anomaly and Keating databases are correct. The apparent resistivity grid units should be in ohm-m, as indicated in the report, but are actually in log10(x) ohm-m. The following correction was applied to the apparent resistivity grids in order for the values to be in ohm-m: new grid = exp10(old grid).

Geophysical Data Set 1220-Revised: River Valley West Area

A minor error was also discovered in the survey report for the relevelled OTH River Valley West geophysical data set (Geophysical Data Set 1220-Revised) released on December 6, 2002. On page 47 (Profile Data), the units of measure for the apparent resistivity channels (ares_900, ares_7200 and ares_56000) should read ohm-metres instead of log10 ohm-metres.

Map Tile 60 000: Amyot-Browning total magnetic field and EM anomalies

The grid and EM anomalies are approximately 240 m south of their proper positions.

Map Tile 60 002: Amyot-Browning EM decay constant and EM anomalies

The grid and EM anomalies are approximately 240 m south of their proper positions.

Map Tile 60 197: River Valley West apparent resistivity and EM anomalies

The apparent resistivity grid and contour units should be in ohm-m, as indicated in the map legend, but are actually in ln(x)*3474 ohm-m.

The above data sets and map tiles have been corrected and are now available at our Publication Sales office. If you purchased any of the above data sets or map tiles, please return thEM to Publication Sales, and a replacement copy will be sent to you free of charge.
