Vtem And Ztem Helicopter Em Case-study Over The Nuqrah Cu-pb-zn-au Sedex Massive Sulphide Deposit In Western Arabian Shield, Ksa

Helicopter VTEM active source, ZTEM AFMAG passive source EM and aeromagnetic survey results are compared over the Nuqrah Sedex massive sulphide deposit in Western Arabian Shield of KSA. Field data and 1D-2D- inversions are used to show that all surveys map major controlling structures that host the Nuqrah deposits. VTEM directly detects more massive sulphide mineralized vent portions of Sedex orebodies; whereas ZTEM likely defining larger, less conductive and weakly mineralized distal portions of Sedex system. ZTEM also maps possible conductive down-dip extension of Nuqrah South Sedex below 750m depths.
