Abstract

Depth estimation of magnetic source bodies in parts of the Schist Belt of Kano, using Euler Deconvolution is presented in this paper. Detail ground magnetic survey was carried out using SCINTREX proton precession magnetometer to produce the Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) map and consequently the residual map. The TMI ranges from 34,261 nT to 34,365 nT, while the residual field ranges from -160 nT to 115 nT. The depth estimate for contacts ranges from 6.5 m to 39.8 m, while that of dyke ranges from 8.9 m to
51.3 m. The depth estimation presented in this work is compared with the results of aeromagnetic study carried out in the same area and found to agree fairly well. Further, this also ensures the validity of aeromagnetic investigation in such applications.
