Abstract
ABSTRACT
The study area is located in the North Eastern Desert, Egypt, and lies
between latitudes (27° 54` 00” and 27° 56` 00” N), and longitudes (32° 50` 30”
and 32° 52` 00” E). The study area is high relief and dissected by the main long
and wide Wadi namely Wadi Dara, which extends from the study area to Gulf of
Suez. The area, covers about 0.66 km
2
and is covered by some Precambrian
rocks, the oldest of which are the metavolcanics which are intruded by diorite granodiorite complex and subsequently by unmetamorphosed Dokhan volcanics.
Dykes and quartz veins also occur. The diorite and granodiorite are considered
the main host rocks of copper mineralization.
In the present study, a detailed ground geophysical exploration work was
applied to delineate the local geology, structural framework and to define the
conductive zones of the prospect area. Detailed ground magnetic, Gradient
Resistivity/IP and self-potential surveys have been carried out in the prospect
area on grid lines. The field measurements were taken along 22 profiles which
have N 45º W direction on a grid pattern, with profile spacing of 50 m and
station separation of 25 m. Beside, 5 Resistivity/IP 2-D Geo-electrical Sections.
Profiles were chosen to follow anomalous zone at deeper depths. The data have
been treated qualitatively and quantitatively by applying various interpretation
techniques. Different types of maps were constructed to delineate and locate
structures and potential of mineral deposits. Some promising sites were selected
to more detail investigation. The survey results indicate that the source of copper
mineralization resulted from the hydrothermal solutions which invaded through
fractures and no indication for mineralized ores bodies.
For magnetic depth calculation, two techniques (As and SPI) were used to
analyze the old mines, west Wadi Dara magnetic data as a guide for structural
interpretation and basement configuration. These are proved as efficient tools to
map the location of magnetic structures such as faults and contacts. The results
