Abstract

Assuming without evidence that magnetic sources are magnetised parallel to the geomagnetic field can seriously mislead interpretation and can result in drill holes missing their targets. This article reviews methods that are available for estimating, directly or indirectly, the natural remanent magnetisation (NRM) and total magnetisation of magnetic sources, noting the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. These methods are: (i) magnetic property measurements of samples; (ii) borehole magnetic measurements; (iii) inference of properties from petrographic/petrological information, supplemented by palaeomagnetic databases; (iv) constrained modelling/inversion of magnetic sources; (v) direct inversions of measured or calculated vector and gradient tensor data for simple sources; (vi) retrospective inference of magnetisation of a mined deposit by comparing magnetic data acquired pre- and post-mining; (vii) combined analysis of magnetic and gravity anomalies using Poisson’s theorem; (viii) using a controlled magnetic source to probe the susceptibility distribution of the subsurface; (ix) Helbig-type analysis of gridded vector components, gradient tensor elements, and tensor invariants; (x) methods based on reduction to the pole and related transforms; and (xi) remote in situ determination of NRM direction, total magnetisation direction and Koenigsberger ratio by deploying dual vector magnetometers or a single combined gradiometer/magnetometer to monitor local perturbation of natural geomagnetic variations, operating in base station mode within a magnetic anomaly of interest.

Characterising the total and remanent magnetisations of sources is important for several reasons. Knowledge of total magnetisation is often critical for accurate determination of source geometry and position. Knowledge of magnetic properties such as magnetisation intensity and Koenigsberger ratio constrains the likely magnetic mineralogy (composition and grain size) of a source, which gives an indication of its geological nature. Determining the direction of a stable ancient remanence gives an indication of the age of magnetisation, which provides useful information about the geological history of the source and its environs.

Key words: inversion, Koenigsberger ratio, magnetic anomalies, magnetisation, remanence, susceptibility.
