The geomagnetic field measurements can be used to determine the structure of the earth, this because the rocks often contain magnetic minerals. The interpretation of data of this nature will determine in some cases, geological characteristics that would help contribute to the success of a mining or oil exploration.

The methodology to calculate the depth and location of magnetic sources (dam and failure), through the Euler Deconvolution method and application is made for three magnetic profiles extracted from a data grid in northern Peru. It then lists a series of conclusions about the potential of this methodology.
