Short summary
The northwestern region of Bangladesh, an extension of India's ancient landmass, differs geologically from the sediment-covered rest of the country. Our research using gravity, magnetic, seismic, and drilling methods revealed distinctive magnetic anomalies suggesting gabbro rocks along fault lines, forming patterns of elevated and depressed blocks underground. This structural model, particularly in the Rangpur Saddle area, indicates significant potential for mineral resources.
