REMOTE SENSING AND GEOPHYSICAL METHODS IN MINERAL EXPLORATION Geophysical methods are powerful tools used to explore beneath the Earth’s surface without drilling. Techniques such as magnetic surveys, gravity surveys, and airborne remote sensing help detect anomalies linked to mineral deposits. For example, magnetic surveys highlight variations caused by iron-rich rocks, while gravity surveys reveal density contrasts associated with ore bodies. Modern airborne imaging, remote sensing, and surface

Local knowledge is a powerful tool in mineral exploration, but it must be managed professionally. As geologists, we record, cross-check, and scientifically validate every piece of information obtained from locals;ensuring ethical engagement, accurate interpretation, and credible exploration decisions. #Geology #MineralExploration #NCGideon #FieldWork #MiningNigeria | NC Gideon
