    Abstract

    This thesis demonstrates that derivative based Interpretation products derived from widely spaced and poor quality aeromagnetic data sets can be improved using a workflow based on the calculation of y- and z-derivatives from the x-­ derivative.

    The structural interpretation of Sigulri Basin in Guinea, West Africa using this Improved workflow, combined with all available geological information, highlights accommodation zones within Siguiri Basin that are potentially prospective for gold exploration and emphasise the fundamental architecture of the basin.
