APPLICATION OF MULTI-ELECTRODE RESISTIVITY SURVEY IN FOREST-COVERED AREAS

The multi-electrode resistivity and induced polarization(IP) survey can obtain resistivity and polarizability data at the same time. The concealed structures,occurrence and scale of the geological bodies can be inferredby the resistivity anomalies. The features and geometry of the concealed orebodies as well as theirrelationship with structures can be inferredfrom thepolarizability anomalies. Theresults can be used to delineate anomaly and guide the future work. In forestcovered area, this method can reduce the vegetation destroy,therefore solvethe conflict between environmental protection and mineral exploration.
