  • Target Selection from Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Data in Steinhausen Area, Namibia
    TARGET SELECTION FROM AIRBORNE MAGNETIC AND RADIOMETRIC DATA IN STEINHAUSEN AREA, NAMIBIA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Sciences in Economic Geology Geology Department Rhodes University by Corus Naudé January 2012 ABSTRACT The eastern branch of the late Proterozoic Damara Orogenic Belt of central Namibia hosts various copper, gold, manganese and uranium deposits, but in the vicinity of Steinhausen, approximately 145 km northeast of Windhoek, the Damara Belt becomes increasingly covered by recent Kalahari cover sediments resulting in little known geology and subsequent lack of discovered economic mineral deposits. Airborne magnetic and radiometric data over the Steinhausen Study Area was enhanced through image processing and filtering to accentuate characteristics of subsurface geology that, by comparing these characteristics to known geology, aided in the interpretive mapping of lithology, structure and targets for follow-up exploration. As a result, some important observations regarding the regional lithology can be drawn. An arenaceous stratigraphic unit that includes a coarse grained, glassy quartzite below the Kuiseb Formation equates to either the eastern Damaran equivalent of the Nosib Group subjected to high grade metamorphism or, alternatively, the upper part of the pre-Damaran sequence, immediately underlying the Damara. The Kuiseb Formation within the study area is uncharacteristically varied as compared to the same formation further west along the Damaran Orogen and can be subdivided into 5 separate units based on geophysical signature. Structural features evident within the study area include the prominent Kudu- and Okahandja Lineaments and straddle an area of inferred uplifted stratigraphy of possibly pre-Damara age.
