Abstract: | The present study deals with processing and interpreting the potential gravity and magnetic data in order to locate promising
sites for metallic mineral occurrences in the basement rocks of South Sinai. Two promising sites were anticipated by combining
the geophysical results and the available geological information. Each site was profiled and interpreted to the nearly approximated
subsurface feature model, and the geometrical parameters of the expected subsurface structures may form mineralized bodies
such as depth, thickness, width, dipping, density contrast, and magnetic susceptibility contrast could be delineated. Detailed
ground Very Low Frequency (VLF) and Vertical Magnetic Gradient (VMG) methods were carried out in the site A2, eight VLF and
VMG anomalies were determined, and their depths were calculated. |
