Abstract
This paper presents the analysis and interpretation of an aeromagnetic data of Ilesha area, (Sheet
243) sourced from Nigeria Geological Survey Agency. The area is located between 7.5°N and 8.0°N of latitude and
longitude 4.5°E to 5.0°E. Two methods: Analytic Signal Method (ASM) and Local wavenumber (LWN) were used.
These methods were used to process and analyse the data so as to generate the depth to magnetic sources as well as the
source locations. The results obtained showed a shallower depth range limit for ASM between 0.348 km and 1.28 km,
which is less than the result of LWN within the range of 0.478 km-1.51 km. The results also revealed more source
locations in ASM result in comparison with LWN. The overall results of the methods have revealed the prospect of the
lithology of the area for magnetic mineral exploration in the field of applied geophysics.
