Application of ground geophysical data to the uranium occurrences of El-Erediya area, Cenral eastern desert, Egypt

摘要

Ground geophysical surveys were conducted in El-Erediya prospect area, located in the Central Eastern Desert, Egypt. These surveys include round magnetic and spectrometric. The iteration of the Results obtained from the magnetic data, aided by geological information, led to the construction of Basement tectonic map for the area under consideration. Gamma-ray spectrometric data revealed that the Jasperoid veins, faults zones and fracture zones in the El-Erediya area are reflected by the highest Spectrometric concentration, whereas granites are reflected by the highest radioactivity rock unit in the Area; the amphibolites show up with the lowest radiometric level.
