ICDP Deep drilling and geophysical exploration of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa

Summary Geophysical data have been instrumental in the exploration and exploitation of the Bushveld Complex, South Africa. Surprising new economic discoveries are still being made, for example in the Northern Lobe, and major advances in exploration and analytical tools promise many more. We are still in the first-order characterization phase of understanding large igneous provinces and there is much to be learned on a wide range of topics. Little work has been published on linking borehole geophysical measurements with extensive geophysical data sets.
