ABSTRACT
Reconnaissance ground magnetic and
gravity surveys were conducted in the
southern portion of the Zambales
Ophiolite Complex. Work of this nature
was undertaken with the end in view of
defining the boundary between the
Cabangan and San Antonio Massifs of this
ophiolite suite. Results obtained from
the combined reconnaissance magnetic and
gravity surveys delineate a structural
feature which is believed to correspond
to the Subic Bay Fault Zone. The SBFZ is
proposed to be the structural boundary
between the Cabangan and San Antonio
Massifs.
