Abstract

A closely spaced gravity survey was conducted in the Chikativaripally area in the Cuddapah basin, Andhra Pradesh, India for base metal exploration. Analysis of the data using two-dimensional prismatic models suggest a doubly plunging folded structure in the area and also its associated mineralization.
