Keywords: Lineament, magnetic induction (B(R)), observation and source locations (R and Ro), permeability of free space (μ_0), reduction to equator (RTE).
In this paper, lineaments of Ikogosi warm spring and its environs have been delineated using qualitative methods. Boundary structures or lineaments between magnetic units were delineated using the first horizontal derivative map and skeletonization of derivative-based data. Also, the residual anomaly contour map was digitized into ten profiles, profiles’ plots were made and used for interpretation. Dominant lineaments suspected were elongated features trending North East-South West direction and are housed by the shallow basements beneath the study area and surroundings.
