The data covering Mayo Daga and Gashaka areas of Taraba State has been interpreted by applying source parameter imaging (SPI) and forward and inverse modeling methods. From the quantitative method of interpretation, it was found out that the magnetic intensity within the study area ranges from-129.9 to 186.6 nT in which the area is noticeably marked by both low and high magnetic signatures which may be as a result of several factors such as; susceptibility, degree of strike, difference in magnetic variation in depth and difference in lithology. From the quantitative interpretation, depth estimates obtained when SPI is employed shown minimum to maximum depth to anomalous source that ranges from 400.7 to 2119.2 m. Forward and inverse modeling estimated depths for profiles P1, P2, P3, and P4 were 2372, 2537, 1621 and 1586 m, respectively, with susceptibility values of 0.0754, 0.0251, 0.0028, and 0.001 respectively, suggesting that the bodies causing the anomaly are typical of igneous rocks; basalt and olivine, intermediate igneous rock; granites, and rocks mineral (quartz).
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.
