Due to high metal values and raised difficulties in finding superficial deposits, the exploration for mineral resources needs to reach greater depths. To achieve this objective, integrating ASTER and 3D inversion of aeromagnetic can be a useful tool in imaging deep magnetic mineralization hosting-structures. In this study, we present such integrated approach for deep mineral exploration in some promising zones of Gabal (G) Semna region, Eastern Desert (ED) of Egypt. Aeromagnetic data was used to delineate the structures and their relation to ore deposits and ASTER data was utilized for mapping lithological units and the hydrothermal zones. The 3D inversion was employed to imagine the depth and geometry of the magnetized ore bodies in the zones that identified by processing ASTER data. The 3D magnetic inversion revealed that mafic rocks and metavolcanics exhibit high-amplitude magnetic anomalies. High amplitude (positive) magnetic anomalies are joined with the large susceptibilities metavolcanics. Alteration zones in the mafic to basic bedrock and alongside major fault systems are high potential zones that revealed by ASTER image analysis. Aster and aeromagnetic data were used to map and alteration zones surface geology that can host mineralization and the 3D inversion was applied to outline the subsurface extent of these promising areas. This approach can be broadly used for deep mineral exploration in the Egyptian ED and identical areas around the world.

由于金属价值高，寻找表层矿床难度大，矿产资源勘探需要更深层次。为了实现这一目标，整合 ASTER 和航磁 3D 反演可以成为对深部磁性矿化承载结构进行成像的有用工具。在这项研究中，我们在埃及东部沙漠 (ED) 的 Gabal (G) Semna 地区的一些有前景的地区提出了这种综合方法，用于深部矿产勘探。航磁数据用于描绘结构及其与矿床的关系，ASTER 数据用于绘制岩性单元和热液带。使用 3D 反演来想象通过处理 ASTER 数据识别的区域中磁化矿体的深度和几何形状。3D 磁反演显示基性岩和变质火山表现出高振幅磁异常。高振幅（正）磁异常与大敏感性火山岩相结合。基性基岩和主要断层系统旁边的基性蚀变带是 ASTER 图像分析揭示的高潜力带。使用 Aster 和航磁数据绘制可以承载矿化作用的地​​表地质图和蚀变带，并应用 3D 反演勾勒出这些有前景区域的地下范围。这种方法可广泛用于埃及 ED 和世界各地相同地区的深层矿物勘探。基性基岩和主要断层系统旁边的基性蚀变带是 ASTER 图像分析揭示的高潜力带。使用 Aster 和航磁数据绘制可以承载矿化作用的地​​表地质图和蚀变带，并应用 3D 反演勾勒出这些有前景区域的地下范围。这种方法可广泛用于埃及 ED 和世界各地相同地区的深层矿物勘探。基性基岩和主要断层系统旁边的基性蚀变带是 ASTER 图像分析揭示的高潜力带。使用 Aster 和航磁数据绘制可以承载矿化作用的地​​表地质图和蚀变带，并应用 3D 反演勾勒出这些有前景区域的地下范围。这种方法可广泛用于埃及 ED 和世界各地相同地区的深层矿物勘探。
