Integrated airborne and ground geophysical studies were conducted in parts of Ilesha schist belt, southwestern Nigeria. The goal was to provide a useful guide for mineral prospecting, with the hope of considerably narrowing down the future search for mineral deposits within the study area. Aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric data were analyzed for the reconnaissance study. In addition, the reduction-to-equator transform, analytic signal, tilt derivative, and Euler deconvolution filters were applied to the aeromagnetic data to enhance shallow and deep geologic features. The aeroradiometric data were used to determine spatial variations in the concentrations of uranium (U), thorium (Th), and potassium (K) in near-surface rocks and to map spatial lithologic changes. The 2D-magnetic sections, radiometric profiles, inverted resistivity, and induced polarization (IP) sections were generated from the integrated geophysical …
