Project Title: Integrated geological-geophysical model for stratiform Zn-Pb exploration

Project Description: This project aims to provide better insight into the localization of strata-bound and fault-controlled Zn-Pb deposits in Ireland. This will be achieved by creating a new regional integrated 3D litho-structural interpretation of geophysical datasets obtained from the Tellus (and related) surveys, as well as 2D section-based models of magnetic, gravity and electro-magnetic datasets.
