55 CGPB Meeting: National Geophysical Mapping An Important Input in Base Line Geoscience Data
55 CGPB Meeting: National Geophysical Mapping An Important Input in Base Line Geoscience Data
OBJECTIVE OF NGPM
NGPM was started in the year 2002 with the
objective to carryout systematic geophysical
mapping by gravity and magnetic methods for
the delineation of subsurface structures like
faults, folds etc., in the study area and for
targeting favorable zones for detailed mineral
exploration.
To generate the integrated gravity map of 1
mGal contour interval.
Converting the geophysical anomalies into
structural signatures and estimating the depth
persistence of geological bodies.
