Exploration Magnetics provides a comprehensive review of the application of magnetisation and magnetic field studies to mineral exploration. It investigates how subsurface models of magnetisation properties and distribution can be derived from magnetic field data. The book also covers geological controls on magnetisation, including linkage between magnetisation and mineralisation, illustrates the magnetic field expression of those magnetisations and explains how to recognise them.
Understanding rock magnetism and its relationship to mineralisation is more important than ever, given the difficulties of migration to areas of deeper cover in the search for new deposits, as well as the search for different styles of mineralisation involving the critical metals of the future.
Magnetic methods are at the forefront of mineral exploration in Australia, and the editors of Exploration Magnetics are world-class experts who have led the development and application of mineral exploration techniques, methods and adaption of new technologies. Drawing information from multiple sources, the contributing authors focus on the practical solution of problems, present extensive case study applications and explore the recovery of source magnetisation direction from magnetic field data. They also outline adaption of these magnetic methods for future off-world exploration.
We would like to acknowledge CSIRO's Deep Earth Imaging Future Science Platform for supporting the publication of this book and access to the eBook formats.
