Correlation between the 3D magnetic model and the geological section of Samapleu’s Deposit (Western Ivory Coast)

Previous studies carried out on the copper-nickel deposit of Samapleu made it possible to carry out a 2D geological model suggested by Camil in 1984. Recent geophysics campaign, by magnetometric surveys made it possible to develop a 3D magnetic model of this deposit. The object of this study is to establish a correlation between this 3D model and the geological sections carried out on this deposit. It comes out from this study that the 3D magnetic model and the geological sections translate the same characteristics with knowing the direction, the dip and the form of Samapleu’s copper-nickel deposit. The three-dimensional magnetic model and the geological sections present a best correlation with the geometry of the deposit.
