摘要：

Structural evaluation of the pegmatite-rich zones in a part of Lafiagi (Sheet 203), Central Nigeria, was carried out. It was aimed at identification of the structures responsible for the rich mineralization of the area. This work involved the qualitative and quantitative analysis of aeromagnetic data and pseudogravity transforms by using Oasis Montaj T software. The 3D Euler deconvolution results from acquired aeromagnetic data and pseudogravity transforms augmented with geological information obtained from reliable sources were employed in the structural interpretation work. The results have shown that the abundance of 2D and 3D structures that are commonly associated with gemstones and precious minerals explain why the study area is rich in mineral deposits.
