Gravity Evidence for Umm Nar Iron Formations, Central Eastern Desert, Egypt: Exploration Implications

BIF from Umm Nar, Eastern Desert, Egypt is competitive for test of the geophysical gravity techniques in mineral exploration, including subsurface locating, mapping, and assessing high-density contrasts between host and mineralized rocks, and cost-effective methodological approach. The gravity measurements showed high anomalies of BIF and low anomalies of the metasedimentary country rock. Several results are in preparation. Recommendations for using other geophysical tools are taken into consideration for confirmation our results.
