Underground geophysics in the Ural mines to search for sulfide ores
Abstract
The present article is devoted to the development of issues related to the search for sulfide ore bodies missed and lost by mine workings in copper mines of the Urals by means of electrical exploration methods. In it the technique of searching for sulfide ore bodies from mine workings by a complex of electrical prospecting methods (shadow and method of measuring the natural electric field) is given and the possibility of using them in the presence of interfering influence of underground mine power generation is shown. The prospecting works confirmed the success of the proposed method, good performance of the used equipment, accuracy and completeness of interpretation of the shadow method materials. In addition, the present work considers the possibility of application of DC methods for the purposes of prospecting and exploration of ore bodies from mine workings.
