Abstract

Abstract

Airborne geophysical surveys are very useful in Africa, since large areas can be covered in a short period of time, enhancing interpretation and models that otherwise could not be possible to achieve and triggering the plan of more specific forward studies. This study uses airborne spectrometric and magnetic data to investigate the geology and tectonics of Block 5 in Cabo Delgado Province, North of Mozambique (Figure 1). The area under investigation extends from 11°S to 13°S and from 38°E to 40°E, and covers an area of about 5000 km2.
