Abstract The area under study lies in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt and is covered by exposed Precambrian basement rocks to the east and Phanerozoic cover sediments to the west. The technique of using the autocovariance function was applied to remote geophysics (aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric data), and statistical trend analysis was conducted on data of geological structures and satellite imagery. Seven main trends, N, NNW, NW, WNW, NNE, NE and ENE, were recorded from the four types of data concerned for the area under consideration. The data from remote geophysics and geological structures were registered for only three out of the seven trends, while the data from satellite imagery were recorded on six out of the seven trends outlined in this study. The NNW, NE, WNW and NW trends can be considered important from the point of view of the radiometrically and magnetically detectable mineralogy of the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt. The remaining three trends, N, NNE, and ENE, can be considered barren as possible channels for magnetically and radiometrically detectable sites of mineralization in the study area.
