Implications of tectonic anomalies from potential field data in some parts of Southeast Nigeria

Tectonic structures controlling mineralization in some parts of Southeast Nigeria were evaluated using airborne potential field data. High- and low-frequency filters depth determination tools adopted to evaluate short- long-wavelength anomalies, resolve the spatial spreading igneous intrusions, depths geologic sources basin topography. The high-frequency results exhibited high concentration short-wavelength anomalies Obudu Plateau Ikom–Mamfe Rift. underlying main tectonics area elucidated by caused widespread occurrences that are revealed maps. study is characterized comparatively thin (~ 13.0 < 3000 m) sedimentation. observed thickness as a result massive Precambrian basement outcrops locations proliferation intrusions within this part Lower Benue Trough. 2-D models showed undulating nature topography, location domal related normal faults. neighbourhood and/or viable sites for lead–zinc–barite, brine metallogenic minerals.
