The most important application of this method is to explore the magnetite type of iron mines. It is also used in the detection of salt domes and in scientific studies to detect geological lines such as faults.
In short, in this method the Earth's magnetic field is measured with the precision of the nanoscale. Minerals with magnetic properties affect the magnetic field of the planet. By measuring the amount of variation in the intensity of the earth's magnetic field, one can find the depth and location of the mineral matter.
The type and accuracy of the measuring device, the correct identification in measuring intervals, the experience of experts in field sampling, the up-to-date scientific knowledge of team experts, the accuracy of data mining and the ability to use special processing software are the most important factors in order to have best results.
Introduction of equipment used in magnetometric method:
The Magnetometry equipment includes a GPS-based magnetometer (model:GSM 19T) manufactured by the GEM System, Canada. This equipment has a precision of 0.01 Nano Tesla.
A vector magnetometer manufactured by American company Trifield is also used to record daily changes.
Also, Oasis Montaj is used as the main software for processing and drawing maps.
