Regional Geophysics in Mineral Exploration in India

Abstract
A Bouguer anomaly map of India prepared from some 30,000 point gravity values brings out a number of zones of gravity 'highs' and 'lows'. These are well correlated with the regional geology of the country. Significantly some of the 'highs' or their slopes are associated with the well known mineralized districts of Aravallis in western India, the Hazari-bagh Plateau of eastern India, the Panna-Narmada region in Central India, and the greenstone associated mineralization in Karnataka in South India.
