A high-resolution aeromagnetic survey was flown over a large area in southern New Brunswick covering both the hydrocarbon-prospective Carboniferous basin and its underlying basement outcropping in the Caledonian Highlands. This current survey, consisting of 22 700 line-kilometres of traverse and control lines, was monitored by the GSC and carried out by Sander Geophysics Ltd. of Ottawa, Ontario. Normal line spacing was 300 m for the traverses and 1600 m for the control lines, all flown according to a draped surface at a nominal ground clearance of 150 m.

This aeromagnetic survey and the production of these maps were funded by Natural Resources Canada's Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI) 2003-2005 and by the Minerals, Planning and Policy Division of the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources. They were produced as part of the "Hydrocarbon Potential in the Paleozoic Frontier Basins" subproject of the "Canadian Appalachian Energy" TGI-2 project and are a contribution to the "Consolidating Canada's Geoscience Knowledge" program of the Earth Sciences Sector, Natural Resources Canada.
