The survey was part of the Alaska Airborne Geophysical/Geological Mineral Inventory Program funded by the Alaska State Legislature and managed by State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS). The program seeks to catalyze private-sector mineral development investment. The program delineates mineral zones on Alaska state lands that: 1) have major economic value; 2) can be developed in the short term to provide high quality jobs for Alaska; and 3) will provide economic diversification to help offset the loss of Prudhoe Bay oil revenue.

Survey interpretation and documentation of data acquisition and tests done during acquisition were produced by the same company (CGG) who acquired the data. Tests completed and constraints used are documented in the project report. Ruth Pritchard, the project report author and data interpreter, has several decades of experience interpreting aeromagnetic and electromagnetic data and making EM anomaly picks.
Accuracy of the data was discussed in the metadata for GPR2013-1. The helicopter position was derived every 0.5 seconds using post-flight differential positioning to an accuracy of better than 1 m.
The laser altimeter ('ALTLAS_BIRD'), located in the bird (EM equipment and magnetometer housing), had a stated resolution of 0.10 meter. The ALTLAS_BIRD value may be unreliable over bodies of water where the laser returns are scattered.
The data are complete.
