Identifying prospective areas for sediment- and volcanic- hosted gold deposits using Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry

Structural geology observations derived from full tensor gravity gradiometry over rift systems

“…This included flying an FTG survey, commissioning an interpretive study by PRJ, 2005 and revisiting previous interpretations in the light of new insights for interpretation of FTG data, reported by Mataragio and Hogg, 2011. Montezuma and Vasquir are located within and along the eastern margin of the northern Nevada Rift, and thus riftassociated tectonics and volcanism dominate a large portion of the project areas ( Figures 5 and 6). Near-surface Tertiary basalt and andesite flows are pervasive throughout the rift.…”
