Abstract

Summary

A ground magnetic survey was conducted to delineate the existence of iron boulders located at shallow depth covered by soils. Typically, iron ore resources prospecting is done along with the extraction activities by digging or excavating using heavy equipment (backhoe). The geophysical survey aimed to avoid such trial-and-error process was part of our institution’s community services in Pelaihari district, Tanah Laut regency, South Kalimantan province, Indonesia. The relatively simple data processing and analyses of magnetic data were performed by using standard tools, i.e. freely available software and modelling codes. Our results showed the effectiveness of the iron boulders prospecting by using the ground magnetic method.
