Abstract

"The Anderson Ridge quadrangle is comprised of folded and faulted schist intruded by granitic, pegmatitic and basic igneous bodies. A ground magnetic survey was conducted using a torsion balance Radar Magnetometer of 15.5 gammas sensitivity to measure the vertical intensity variations. The results are presented on eleven profiles with accompanying generalized geologic cross-sections, two magnetic contour maps of 50 gamma interval, one with traverse line geologic control, and the second controlled by a geologic map of the area. A clear relationship exists between the vertical magnetic intensity distribution pattern and the known areal geology.

The susceptibility of the most common rocks within the area was determined by a magnetic susceptibility bridge. The results were used for correlating the magnetic profiles with the geology of the area.

A cost analysis with certain basic assumptions indicated the cost of the magnetic survey averaged about $12.00/mile u sing the modified Radar Magnetometer. Although the initial cost is somewhat higher than that of an aeromagnetic survey, the detailed magnetic and geologic control obtained by the ground survey suggests the overall cost including field evaluation would be lower and results superior if time is no factor"-- Abstract, p. vi
