Abstract
Abstract: The distribution of surface and subsurface magnetic materials within the study area, the delineation of geologic lineaments, and an estimate of the depth to magnetic sources were all determined by interpreting high resolution aeromagnetic data that covered a portion of Bauchi, northeastern Nigeria, lying between Latitudes 9040'00"N to 10010'0"N and Longitudes 900'0"E to 9040'0'E. The Aeromagnetic map, analytical signal, and horizontal derivative filters used on total magnetic intensity data after reduction to the magnetic equator (RTE) show that the Toro and its environs contain highly magnetic minerals thought to be potential deposits of iron ore. The lithological map and the lineament maps have a good connection. Further examination of the findings reveals that the research area has varying degrees of Ferro-, para-, and diamagnetic mineralization (of the iron and non-iron varieties). The geological source bodies are thought to be located between 177.389 and 991.626 meters deep, according to the Euler depth solution. This shows that during the orogenic process, a sequence of strong deformations were present alongside the Toro.
