Magnetic Surveys:
Mapping Magnetic Anomalies

Magnetic surveys are an important tool in mineral exploration that aid in the detection and mapping of magnetic anomalies. These anomalies can be caused by variations in the magnetic properties of rocks and minerals, which can indicate the presence of certain types of mineral deposits.

During a magnetic survey, specialized equipment is used to measure the strength and direction of the Earth’s magnetic field at various points on the ground. This data is then processed and analyzed to create a map of the
magnetic anomalies in the area being surveyed. By interpreting these maps, geologists can identify areas that are likely to contain mineral deposits and plan further exploration activities.
