Abstract

Aeromagnetic magnetic map over Ugep, sheet 314, located in the southern Benue Trough Nigeria was acquired, processed and interpreted, to determine the structural trend, depth to these magnetic anomalies, and to correlate these anomalies with mineral potential of the study area. The Total magnetic intensity map was reduced to magnetic equator, then the residual map was produced and these were further interpreted both qualitatively and quantitatively using the First to third vertical derivatives, the Horizontal derivatives, analytic signal and the source parameter imaging techniques. The results from analysis show the variation in depth observed with different wavelength which is an indication of source depths, the structural trends of the rock in the areas are in the
