Introduction
• Magnetic prospecting is a geophysical method based on
the examination of magnetic field anomalies of the
Earth caused by non-similar magnetization intensity of
rocks.
• The magnetic field of the Earth magnetizes rocks to a
variable degree which is determined by their magnetic
susceptibility, intensity and magnetizing force.
