Summary

A magnetic survey carried out in Sua area of the Palamau district, Bihar (India) has shown very interesting anomalies. The survey has been conducted specially to obtain the extension of the magnetite deposits which are being quarried at Sua. The interpretation of magnetic anomalies have clearly brought out the following facts: a) the magnetite is extending both sides of the quarry to a considerable distance, b) the nature of the anomaly indicates that the magnetite occurs in the form of veins. It has also been possible to find out the thickness of the veins and the depth at which they occur.
