The study of the geological structure of carbonatite massifs is a rather difficult task due to their very complex structure.

In recent years to solve a variety of geological and engineering-geological problems in the water areas of seas and reservoirs attract sounding and seismic methods of exploration. They are mainly used to solve structural problems, but with the help of sound waves can be determined by the nature of reflected signals in some varieties of bottom sediments. ...

At present, there are a large variety of electrical exploration methods for prospecting for mineral deposits, both AC and DC. All of them, with the exception of methods of natural zero, “radio kip” and telluric currents, are based on the use of special current generators and receiving measuring equipment, which registers the secondary electromagnetic field or potential difference created by these current generators, between some points on the surface of the earth or in mine workings.

In geologic mapping of ore districts on a large scale (1:50,000, 1:25,000 and larger), detailed gravity survey is widely used, which makes it possible to reveal many features of the geologic structure of bedrock overlain by loose sediments.

As is known, electrical exploration methods identify well-conducting objects, which can be both sulfide bodies, and graphitized zones or zones of tectonic disturbances. While the latter can often be identified using amplitude and phase components of the eletromagnetic field during dipole profiling, it is still impossible to separate anomalies associated with sulfide ores and graphitized zones using electrical exploration.
