The serious need and high demand of iron oxides in cement industry urges to carry out critical investigation in vicinity of cement factories in South Egypt Governorates. The considered area Wadi Abu Subeira lies to the north east of Aswan. The possible occurrences of hematite in the subsurface enforced to carry out some geophysical measurements in the in the form of very low frequency-electromagnetic and geoelectrical resistivity. A total number of 684 very low frequency-electromagnetic and 54 vertical electrical soundings stations were executed along 9 surveying profiles arranged on three long traverses, running from west to east direction. The data sets were comprehensively and steadily inverted/transformed in terms of subsurface electric resistivity/EMequivalent current-density. Both the vertical and lateral resistivity/current-density variations were able to image the typical shallow stratigraphic sequence of the area. The present study emphasized the robustness and costefficiency of applying the very low frequency-electromagnetic and geoelectrical resistivity techniques in a field like iron ore exploration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
