Magnetic datasets (airborne with ground follow up) were used to interpret the occurrences of iron ore mineralization in the shear zone (Kangara) near Wadi Muzor Kay, Eghi area, southern Libya. Previous studies suggested that the area is considered as promising zone for important ore mineralization of gold, copper, and iron. The complicated geology of the area resulted from four main tectonic stages in which variety types of igneous and metamorphic rocks were formed.

Reduction to the pole (RTP) filter was applied for processing the magnetic data. High amplitude of short wavelength anomalies around the contact between the syntectonic gabbro and surrounding rocks was identified. These anomalies may be due to iron enrichment pods bodies intruding the contact border between gabbro pluton and surrounding rocks. Depths of the magnetic source bodies estimated by using local wavenumber and Peter‘s methods, range between 120 m to 430 m.

Finally, the geophysical magnetic data and RTP process filtering confirm the focusing on geological boundaries, geological structures, and their relationship with possible iron ore mineralization zones in the area.
