| Abstract: |
High-resolution aeromagnetic and satellite data investigation was carried out over Yola arm (upper Benue) and adjoining basement regions of northeastern Nigeria, in order to carry out depth estimations structural features and mineralization potentials of the area. Total intensity magnetic map was processed using the Oasis Montaj ™ programming software to get the residual map, analytic signal and tilt depth methods. Results show that the depth estimates are in the range of 1.2 to 4.4 km. These outcomes are similar to what has been obtained by previous researches in the study area. Satellite data processing was done using the arcGis software, in order to understand the structural frame work and mineralization potentials of the area. The structural features of the area are NE-SW and NW-SE which are pan African and pre pan African events. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
