Geomagnetic researches in the eastern part of North Macedonia

Republic of North Macedonia, according to current knowledge, has deposits of gold that were exploited in the past. Existence of contemporary geophysical methods, especially high precision magnetometers, gives relatively easy and very efficient possibility for defining the area of alluvial terraces, not only on the existing rivers but, also, in the old riverbeds. To define the most prospective areas for detailed research, bearing in mind that the gold and accompanying heavy precious metals are non-magnetic, which are of exploitation interest, almost always, paragenetic, magnetite is present with them. Magnetite as a mineral have the highest magnetic level, according to that is easy detectable. Areas with registered anomalies should be investigated with this method and core drilling in order to define depth of the ore
