- •
We used geophysical data to study the Precambrian Singo Granite in Uganda.
- •
We found that it is a nested igneous ring complex formed from eight complexes.
- •
It was formed because of N, E and SW migration of magma plumbing systems.
- •
Revealing it as nested igneous ring complex is important for mineral exploration.
- •
Our approach can be used for discovering other subsurface igneous ring complexes.
