(Fairbanks)—The Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) is soliciting proposals for two helicopter-borne geophysical surveys in southwestern Alaska.

The Farewell Survey includes part of the McGrath and Lime Hills quadrangles, and is in the McGrath mining district.

The Five Spot survey, consisting of five separate locations, is mainly in the Iditarod Quadrangle, with small areas in the Ophir, Holy Cross, Russian Mission, and Sleetmute quadrangles. The Five Spot survey is in the Innoko–Iditarod mining district with a small portion in the Aniak mining district. Aeromagnetic, electromagnetic, and some radiometric data will be acquired. The resulting data will be processed into a variety of maps and digital files.

The Request for Proposals (RFP) is posted on the State’s Online Public Notice site http://notes4.state.ak.us/pn. A link to the document is also on the DGGS website www.dggs.alaska.gov under “Headlines.”
