Popis: We present our aeromagnetic survey results from an investigation of the iron ore mineral distribution in Pocheon, Korea, in the west-central area of the Korean Peninsula. A manned aeromagnetic system using a helicopter for regional exploration and an unmanned aeromagnetic system using a multicopter for high-resolution exploration were used for the survey. The inversion results of the magnetic data confirmed the possibility of the existence of a new iron ore body. Drilling was carried out based on inversion results and drilling revealed amphibolite including iron ore, as indicated by a strong magnetic response. The position and depth of the iron ore were consistent with the interpretation results of the magnetic data.
