Ground Magnetic Survey for The Investigation of Mineral Deposit at Itesi Village in Orile Ilugun, Odeda , South West Nigeria
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS - Year 0, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Advances in technique development and data interpretation have greatly improved our ability to visualize the subsurface. A Magnetic survey was carried out at a site in Itesi village, Ilugun, Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria using a portable proton precession magnetometer (G-856 AX). A total of ten profiles were established in an E-W direction in the study area. The acquired magnetic field data were corrected for drift. Qualitative and quantitative interpretations were adopted to obtain negative peak value and the maximum positive peak value. The depth to top of basement rock was estimated using Peters Half slope. Likewise the depth to centre of basement rock was estimated using the Half width rule. The contour maps, 3-D surface map and the 1-grid vector map present the subsurface image. The whole survey area has a total length of 100 m at a line spacing of 10 m and a breadth of 45 m at 5 m spacing. The whole area was characterized by complete varying negative amplitudes from a very low peak value of about -9.9 nT and a maximum positive peak value of about 17.4 nT respectively. The closely spaced, linear sub-parallel orientations of contours from the South western part of the map suggest the possibility of faults or local fractured zones.

Structure of Superdeformed Rotational Bands in A ~ 150 Mass Region
The structure of superdeformed rotational bands (SDRB's) in A ~ 150 mass region are studied by using the Harris three parameter expansion and the incremental alignment. The bandhead spins Io have been determined with bes...
Study of the Absorptance of Si-gratings and of arrays of SiO2-filled trenches on Si-grating substrate
The purpose of this paper is to study the radiative properties of two model structures. The first model (A-1) is a rectangular grating of silicon (Si). The second one (A-2) is obtained from A-1 by filling their trenches...
Pentagram Geometry
The Natural Constant Phi is included in the geometrical figure of a Pentagram as many artists have found out. Michelangelo may be the most famous one, whose sketch was transported in the payload of the first sucessful mi...
Effect of uniform electromagnetic field on the trajectory of a free jet in a resistant medium proportional to the velocity.
The effect of electromagnetic field in a resistant medium of a free jet was carried out. The solutions of the governing equations showed that increase in electric field also increases the velocity profile of the fluid wh...
