MULTI-LAYER INTERPRETATION

A stronger target needs more than one compelling map

Magnetic patterns become more useful when their geometry and geological context are tested against genuinely independent evidence.

EVIDENCE 01

Magnetics and derivatives

Magnetic intensity, reduced-to-pole response, gradients and other derivatives help identify domains, contacts, lineaments and source-scale features. Agreement among derivatives tests stability, not mineral identity.

EVIDENCE 02

Geology, gravity and terrain

Mapped lithology and structure frame plausible mineral systems. Gravity adds a density-sensitive line of evidence at its actual resolution. Terrain provides context for coverage and access; a DEM is not direct evidence of chromite.

EVIDENCE 03

Drilling and occurrences

Collars, logs, assays and known occurrences can calibrate or challenge a hypothesis. A nearby point on a map is context; it does not prove that a target was tested or that the same mineralization extends into it.

EVIDENCE 04

Competing explanations

Intrusions, dikes, remanence and other lithologies can resemble a desired target response. The interpretation records alternatives and proposes measurements that would separate them.

What the team can use

  • Cross-check independent evidence families
  • Keep provenance and resolution visible
  • Explain what could change the ranking
