Les méthodes magnétiques sont celles que l'on emploie en géophysique appliquée depuis le plus longtemps et elles demeurent les premières parmi les autres techniques géophysiques à être employées dans l'exploration minérale et souvent dans l'exploration pétrolifère. Les méthodes magnétiques sont de beaucoup les moins coûteuses, les plus rapides et les plus faciles à opérer au point de vue instrumental [...] En plus de leur emploi dans la recherche de [...] [certains] minéraux [tels la magnétite, l'ilménite, la pyrrhotine, etc...], les méthodes magnétiques sont utilisées indirectement comme un outil dans la cartographie géologique, pour la localisation de structures géologiques favorables dans l'exploration du pétrole, etc [...] 2, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20magn%C3%A9tique
