Abstract

The present study deals with processing and interpreting the geophysical data measurements in order to locate promising sites for metallic mineral occurrences and buried geological features believed to have controlled mineral deposits in the area of study. The technical aspects of the geophysical field work and data interpretation were discussed.Detailed electrical resistivity and induced polarization measurements were carried out along profiles which cross the promising site. The detailed measured data was interpreted in 2-D resistivity and chargeability models to provide the nearly approximated subsurface geologic features model and the geometrical parameters of the expected subsurface features that may form mineralized bodies such as depth, thickness, width, dipping, electrical resistivity contrast, and chargeability contrast could be delineated. In the present study the normal DC geoelectrical methods, which are commonly used for detecting the location of metallic minerals because of its high conductivity contrast with the host rocks, sometimes has limited results, due to the hard condition and difficult terrain encountered in the area under consideration which is not relevant for applying normal DC method techniques. Undoubtedly appropriate geophysical method at the area under study has accelerated the improvement of geophysical field work and reliable geophysical interpretation results. The results of geophysical data interpretation were subsequently employed to control the locations of the expected mineral deposits.
