Time domain and frequency domain IP test surveys in the Kuroko deposit, Odate area, Akita


Abstract
Induced polarization (IP) method is one of the popular geophysical exploration techniques in mineral explorations. Conventionally, IP effect have been evaluated by Chargeability and Frequency Effect, however, the relation between these indexes and objective information such as kind of minerals and its contents are still uncertain because of difficulties of the sample measurements. To solve these problems, we examine the efficacy of the in-situ measurement at the Kannondo kuroko deposit, Akita. As the result of the measurement, chargeability acquired by a time domain survey and phase acquired by a spectrum IP survey correspond to the geology better than the indexes acquired by the sample measurement.
