DETERMINING TWO DIMENSIONS OF A CONCEALED CHROMITE ORE BY MICROCOMPUTER MODELLING OF MAGNETIC TOTAL FIELD INTENSITY PROFILE

Computer modelling, using Manik Talwani's method to determine the two dimensions of an ore body is described. It is shown that quite accurate determination of the two dimensions of ore body is possible with such application. It is suggested that such applications could be very useful for better programming of drilling and better estimation of ore bodies in chromite.
