The thrust of Pilkington's paper is that a frequency-domain approach to variable-depth magnetization mapping is superior to a space-domain approach and has been “shown to improve the geologic mapping capability over total-field data.” He states that “apparent susceptivility or magnetization-mapping methods have proven useful in improving the resolving power of total-field magnetic data, leading to a more precise delineation of geologic boundaries and providing a map of susceptibility-magnetization levels that can be related directly to rock properties.” He accepts the premise that northern Saskatchewan can be divided into domains on the basis of structure and lithology and that these “lithostructural domains can be distinguished on the basis of aeromagnetic character.”
