Abstract
As part of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada–Canada Mining Innovation Council (NSERC-CMIC) Mineral Exploration Footprints project, three selected magnetic inversion programs (VPmg, MAG3D and VINV) were used to process the same aeromagnetic data set from the Highland Valley Copper district, British Columbia, Canada. In each case, the inversion was constrained using available geological and physical property constraints. Analysis of magnetic susceptibility data suggests that the observed aeromagnetic anomaly pattern includes effects associated with boundaries between lithological units and fault zone alteration resulting from removal of magnetite. Susceptibility contrast associated with alteration is greater than that associated with changes in lithology. The inversions seek to define the three-dimensional geometry of geological boundaries and the fractures are treated as high-frequency noise. Results from the three programs, although similar, are sensitive to attributes of the different algorithms. VPmg emphasises physical boundaries between geological domains, MAG3D produces a more blurred image, whereas VINV produces reasonable geological images. Computer performance using the different programs ranges from reasonable for VPmg to computer intensive for MAG3D and VINV. Differences in the results reflect the inherent uncertainty in producing inversions from “noisy” aeromagnetic data.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
