/ Detection of mineral structures by applying induced polarization and resistivity

Abstract

"The paper talks about the geophysics applied to the identification of a geophysical anomaly, that´s to say the detection of subsurface features with non- invasive technique. Knowing that a geophysical anomaly refers to the response of different physical fields in the area of potential exploration interest or resource development. Anomalies result 
from the discovery of a suitable geological 
formation for industrial exploration and 
mineral buildup in a likely supporting place 
with copper mineralization. Finding the use 
of geophysical techniques, to identify and 
observe the geological distributions at different 
depths, using some physical parameters such 
as conductivity, which can be obtained through 
some methods such as electrical resistivity 
and induced polarization chargeability. The 
purpose is to obtain images of the distribution 
of electrical impedance of the ground from 
measurements made from the surface, 
centered on the location of mineral deeply. 
The results allow to characterize the most 
important, that are altered in areas that can be 
found associated with porphyry copper sulfide 
anomalous zones, according to the parameters 
of resistivity and chargeability."
