To be able to successfully apply such an approach an interpreter must understand the range of possibilities for the spatial distribution of magnetic minerals likely to occur in various types of mineral deposits and their host rocks. Significant concentrations of magnetic minerals occur in many mineral deposits and many mineral deposit types are associated with magnetic rock units. However, very few publications have addressed magnetic signatures of ore deposits and their host rocks other than on a deposit by deposit descriptive basis. The object of this paper, which considers mineral deposits in terms of their magnetic mineral associations and their known and expected magnetic responses, is to present an introduction to ways of using magnetic survey data to recognise favourable locations for orebodies and, where possible, to directly detect ore bodies.
