The Hajar prospect is located in the Guemassa Paleozoic massif, about 30 km southwest of Marrakesh, Morocco. Visean volcano‐sedimentary formations are present in this massif and in the Jebilets massif north of Marrakesh. In these formations, syngenetic massive sulfides occur, and one of these bodies, Kettara in the Jebilets, has been partially mined. Using the Kettara magnetic anomaly to establish the magnetization parameters, we performed a preliminary interpretation of the Hajar anomaly. Our 2.5-D model determined the depth of the structure to be about 150 to 200 m below the surface. This relatively shallow depth was a decisive factor in siting a reconnaissance drillhole, which encountered massive sulfides between 158 and 276 m. After completing a systematic gravity and magnetic survey, 3-D magnetic modeling was attempted, constrained by the results of four drillholes. Now that more than 20 holes have been drilled, this magnetic model still conforms to the newly revealed geology. Unfortunately, it was not possible to extract useful information concerning the orebody from modeling and interpreting the gravity data. The gravity response is masked by disturbances such as faults and variations in depth and nature of the Visean basement. The discovery of the Hajar deposit shows that magnetic investigations, improved by pertinent modeling techniques, can be used at various stages of exploration to help recognize and define massive sulfide bodies.

Time Variations

Gravity and magnetic survey results over the Scottish Tertiary districts are characterized by step, linear and circular anomalies relating to faulted basalts, dykes and intrusive centres. A few circular anomalies in areas offshore can be interpreted to define additional intrusive centres. Step anomalies observed in Northern Ireland indicate that normal faulting occurred after the period of igneous activity. Deep crustal structure is ill-determined; observations of anomalous magnetic time variations and enhanced heat flow appear to warrant continuation of these studies.

We have developed a high-resolution 3D model of the Alberton-Mathinna section of the “Main Slide,” northeast Tasmania. This geological model expresses a new synthesis based on mapping and structural interpretation on multiple cross sections. We have refined this model by 3D geophysical inversion constrained by gravity and magnetic survey data coupled with drilling and rock physical property databases. Our modeling incorporates statistically generated sensitivity characterization metrics into 3D model products that map confidence in the geometry of geological units at depth. The results include a granitoid surface that is considerably more detailed than earlier versions based on 2D modeling. Among the new features to emerge is a cupola 1.6 km below and slightly west of the Mathinna goldfield. At the Ringarooma United deposit located within the Alberton goldfield, we seethat the fault network underpinning the deposit was intruded by granite to a depth of approximately 400 m. Ore-forming solutions for both deposits have been interpreted as metamorphic in origin, but our results suggest the possibility of a role for magmatic fluids (i.e., granite related) in the gold-mineralizing system, particularly for the Ringarooma United deposit.

Gupta and Fitzpatrick (1971) remark that very little has been published on the correlation of topography and ground magnetic studies, specifically, magnetic‐terrain effects. Plouff (1976) discusses modeling of gravity and magnetic fields using polygonal prisms and the application to magnetic‐terrain anomalies. In both of these articles magnetic‐terrain anomalies from crystalline rocks are discussed. By contrast, this note discusses magnetic‐terrain anomalies identified in a ground magnetic survey within a sedimentary environment, specifically, across alluvial fans.
