The research aiming to explore the iron ore deposits in the Nusawungu coastal Regency of Cilacap has been conducted using the magnetic survey. The acquisition of magnetic data was conducted in April – Mei 2017, covering the area in the ranges of 109.314° – 109.345°E and 7.691° – 7.709°S. The obtained magnetic field strength data were corrected, reduced, and mapped to obtain the contour map of local magnetic anomaly. The modeling process was carried out along the path extending over the map from the positions of 109.314°E and 7.695°S to 109.335°E and 7.699°S, so that some subsurface anomalous objects are obtained. The lithological interpretation was performed to identify the types of subsurface rocks and their formations based on the magnetic susceptibility value of each anomalous objects and supported by the geological information of the research area. Based on the interpretation results, three rocks deposits of alluvium formations were obtained, which are estimated to contain iron ore. The first deposit has a length of 164.85 m, a depth of 0.57 – 8.43 m, and a magnetic susceptibility value of 0.0097 cgs. The second deposit has a length of 376.28 m, a depth of 2.56 – 19.66 m, and a magnetic susceptibility value of 0.0108 cgs. The third deposit has a length of 1,306.26 m, a depth of 3.70 – 58.69 m, and a magnetic susceptibility value of 0.0235 cgs. Out of the whole rocks deposits, the third rock deposit is interpreted to have the most prospective iron ore. This interpretation based on its high magnetic susceptibility value, which indicates the presence of many magnetic minerals (i.e. iron ores) in the rock.

The presented work examines application of an Augmented Iteratively Re-weighted and Refined Least Squares method (AIRRLS) to construct a 3D magnetic susceptibility property from potential field magnetic anomalies. This algorithm replaces an lp minimization problem by a sequence of weighted linear systems in which the retrieved magnetic susceptibility model is successively converged to an optimum solution, while the regularization parameter is the stopping iteration numbers. To avoid the natural tendency of causative magnetic sources to concentrate at shallow depth, a prior depth weighting function is incorporated in the original formulation of the objective function. The speed of lp minimization problem is increased by inserting a pre-conditioner conjugate gradient method (PCCG) to solve the central system of equation in cases of large scale magnetic field data. It is assumed that there is no remanent magnetization since this study focuses on inversion of a geological structure with low magnetic susceptibility property. The method is applied on a multi-source noise-corrupted synthetic magnetic field data to demonstrate its suitability for 3D inversion, and then is applied to a real data pertaining to a geologically plausible porphyry copper unit.  The real case study located in  Semnan province of  Iran  consists  of  an arc-shaped  porphyry  andesite  covered  by  sedimentary  units  which  may  have  potential  of  mineral  occurrences, especially  porphyry copper. It is demonstrated that such structure extends down at depth, and consequently exploratory drilling is highly recommended for acquiring more pieces of information about its potential for ore-bearing mineralization.

Two dimensional modeling to basaltic rocks intrusion in Pekuncen and Karanglewas Villages Jatilawang District, Banyumas Regency, Central Java based on the local magnetic anomalies data has been carried out in March – June 2020. The amount of magnetic data obtained from the acquisition in the field was 239 data stretching in position of 109.107222° – 109.134944°E and 7.561361° – 7.577306°S, with the local magnetic anomalies values ranging of -2,961.11 – 1,516.31 nT. To model anomalous sources in the subsurface in two dimensions, then the local magnetic anomalies data is transformed into pseudogravity anomalies data, so that anomalous value can be obtained as -27.815 – 41.087 mGal. Based on the pseudogravity anomalous map, the basaltic rock intrusion is interpreted to be located in the eastern part of the research area, so modeling of anomalous sources is conducted in this area. The results of 2D-modeling to local magnetic anomalies data indicate the presence of anomalous object interpreted as basaltic rock intrusion with magnetic susceptibility contrast value of 0.0223 cgs, located at depth of 52.61 – 505.97 m and a lateral length of 1777.94 m. This rock intrudes sediment rock from the Halang Formation and is connected to other basaltic rock near the surface with magnetic susceptibility contrast value of 0.0165 cgs, located at depth of 1.94 – 80.90 m and lateral length of 751.83 m. The results of lithological interpretation are in accordance with the geological information of the research area.

The Geophysical method is operated by using physical parameters above the surface to estimate the subsurface structures. In data interpretation, all 3D surveys, i.e., magnetic, gravity, magnetotelluric, and airborne, are required for geographical conditions in the research area. In a large area, global DEM data is used to explain the field condition, but for local measurement, the data is not efficient due to low resolution (15-30 m/px). This research uses UAV technology to produce a high-resolution topography in local Geophysical measurement (500 x 600 m). The survey was conducted to map the coal structure in the subsurface. UAV data were also compared to SRTM (30 m/px) and DEMNAS (8 m/px) as global topography. Based on data processing, the UAV topographic was have a high resolution of 2.5 cm/px. Comparison of UAV and magnetic data are able to explain a good condition of field measurement than a global DEM data, even in a relatively small area; outcrops of the coal (50x50 m) can show a good differences contrast of topography. Based on data analysis, we can conclude that UAV technology can interpret the geophysical data measured in a local area.Keywords: UAV, SRTM, Topography, Geophysical Interpretation.Metode Geofisika bekerja dengan memanfaatkan parameter fisis diatas permukaan untuk pendugaan struktur bawah permukaan. Dalam tahapan interpretasi data, semua pengukuran 3D Geofisika; magnetic, gravity, magnetotelluric, dan airbone sangat membutuhkan keadaan geografis lapangan. Pada area yang luas, data DEM global digunakan untuk menjelaskan deskripsi lapangan, namun untuk pengukuran dekat permukaan yang bersifat lokal, data ini tidaklah efesien, karena resolusi yang relative rendah (15 – 30 m/px). Kami menggunakan teknologi UAV untuk menghasilkan topografi resolusi tinggi pada area pengukuran Geofisika dengan luas 500 x 600 m, yang disurvei untuk pemetaan batubara dibawah permukaan. Data UAV juga dibandingkan dengan topografi global SRTM (30 m/px) dan DEMNAS (8 m/px). Hasil pengolahan data menunjukkan data UAV menghasilkan topografi dengan resolusi 2.5 cm/px. Hasil overlay UAV dengan Geofisika magnetik mampu menjelaskan deskripsi lapangan dengan sangat baik dibandingkan DEM global, bahkan pada area yang relative kecil seperti singkapan batuabara (50x50 m) dapat menunjukkan keadaan perbedaan topografi dengan kontras. Berdasarkan data analysis, topografi UAV sangat potensial digunakan untuk interpretasi data Geofisika dekat permukaan yang diukur pada area yang relative lokal.Kata kunci: UAV, SRTM, Topografi, Interpretasi Geofisika.

This paper discusses geophysical prospecting techniques for kimberlite pipes, a major source of diamonds. A simple geologic model based on descriptions by Hawthorne (1975) and Nixon (1973) is given, and the varied geophysical responses obtained over kimberlite pipes are interpreted in terms of this model. The three main factors controlling these responses are the original size and inhomogeneity of the pipe, the depth of erosion, and the degree of weathering. Kimberlite pipes are roughly elliptical in surface exposure in most cases, with a “carrot shaped” extension at depth. The unweathered portion of the pipe generally contains a few percent magnetite, and this in most cases produces a clearly detectable magnetic anomaly. The presence of deep weathering may alter the magnetite in the top of the pipe to nonmagnetic oxides of iron, thus resulting in an increased depth to the magnetic source. If this depth is large, the magnetic response may not be large enough to detect the kimberlite in the presence of noise and the effect of other structures. In addition, if little erosion has taken place since emplacement, kimberlitic sediments known as epiclastic kimberlite will be present to considerable depths in the pipe, and this may also lead to the absence of a clear magnetic anomaly. In one large survey in South Africa, electromagnetic (EM) techniques have proven to be remarkably effective in detecting the presence of weathered clays or epiclastic kimberlite contained within the pipes. All pipes discovered during this survey had unmistakable EM signatures, while five out of eight had very small magnetic anomalies which would not likely have been selected as potential targets on the basis of magnetic data alone. These examples would indicate that in any area where deep weathering is expected, an EM survey is essential in combination with a magnetic survey if reconnaissance is to be based on airborne geophysical techniques. Due to the emplacement mechanism of kimberlite, considerable inhomogeneity within a pipe may be present, leading to significant variation in the response of any geophysical technique to one pipe, with resultant interpretation difficulties. Although this is not a limitation in the discovery of new pipes, it does make their geophysical delimitation difficult.

Magnetic anomalies are antisymmetrical and often skewed to the location of the sources, because both of the magnetization and ambient field are not directed vertically, so it’s difficult to interpret. For reducing the magnetic anomaly to a symmetrical one – this located on the source of the anomaly – people often use the reduction to the pole (RTP) where the magnetization and ambient field are both directed vertically. However, at low latitudes (an absolute inclination less than 16o30’), the amplitude spectrum of the RTP’s operator was amplified at higher frequencies (short wavelengths) can form a narrow pie-shaped; so it produces artifacts elongated along the direction of the magnetic declination. Therefore, many methods of RTP at low latitudes are given to solve this problem, but most of them are not efficiency. In this paper, we performed enhancing the quality of interpretation of magnetic data at low latitudes by some RTP methods for magnetic data at low latitudes and the analytic signal method using gradient operator and Hilbert transform. This method is applied to a model and to a real magnetic anomaly to find out the best method. Then this method was applied to enhance the quality of magnetic data interpretation in the Southern Vietnam. The result showed that the analytic signal method using Hilbert transform allowed enhancing the quality of interpretatio of magnetic data n at low latitudes is the best.
