AN OVERVIEW OF MAGNETIC METHOD IN MINERAL EXPLORATION | Journal of Global Ecology and Environment

In current times, a nation's economic strength, standard of life, and citizens' independence are all dependent on the nation's industrial strength and economic buoyancy. These two factors, namely a country's industrial strength and the viability of its industries, are sometimes used to categorise countries as "developed" (e.g., the United States and Japan) or "developing" (e.g., Nigeria and Ghana), with each country attempting to reach the former. One of the most important variables in the formation of most industries is the availability of the raw materials they require. Most industries' basic materials are found sporadically in one form or another deep inside the earth's crust, and finding them has long been one of man's key worries. This paper presents a review of the literature on the application of magnetic methods in mineral prospecting. Magnetic exploration, also known as "potential field" exploration, is a technique that allows geoscientists to "see" beneath the Earth's surface by feeling the physical properties of rocks (magnetization). Exploration using the magnetic approach can aid in the discovery of minerals. The cost of a potential field survey is low, and it may cover a big area rapidly. The approach is reasonably inexpensive, non-invasive, and environmentally friendly.
