Electromagnetic survey to constraints ore mining exploration in the eastern Anti-Atlas belt (case of Imiter inlier, Morocco):Application of frequency electromagnetic helicopter-borne method

The present work is based on data of a geophysical survey of the Imiter inlier that was carried out by DIGHEMV multi-coil, multi-frequency helicopter-borne electromagnetic system. Its main goals are (i) to interpret the results of this survey in light of regional geological settings; (ii) to define how geological factors controlled mineralization in the world-class Imiter silver mine, which is located in the central western part of the survey area; (iii) to correlate the modalities of this control with the electromagnetic response observed in the Imiter mine district; and (iv) to extend the model thus obtained to the whole study area in view of locating other potentially mineralized ore bodies.
