SUMMARY

Detailed gradient array and dipole-dipole supveys over the W=an and Weston

prospects amd the eastern workings have implied that the fo~er consists of

a series of chargeability highs of a limited strike length contained within

an overall general resistivity low. It would appear likely that Waxman and

Weston extends east aaross line 650E as a wholly disseminated sulphide expression.

~ and westwards across lines 550E and 500E as a low resistivity/moderate aharge­

ability series of events.

The eastern workings are implied to extend north to about 200N on the line on

which they occur (700E). terminated between lines 700E and 650E. and perhaps

continue aaross line 750E.between 210N and 310N at least as a zone of

INTRODUCTION

A series of dipole-dipole and gradient array surveys were carried out in the

• vicinity of the Waxman and Weston prospects on EL 11/76 to follow-up reconnaissance

electrical induced polarization anomalies located in a gradient array survey

carried out over a wider area in November-December, 1977 and described in

Scintrex report TAS-052 by the author dated May, 1978.

The surveys were carried out at the request of Mr. L.A. Newnham, Chief Geologist

for Renison Limited. On-site geological supervision was carried out by

Mr. P. Roberts, Area Geologist, while geophysical supervision was provided

by the author and on-site geophysicist Mr. G. Street,M.Sc.,DIC, who also

executed a portion of the survey. The remainder of the survey work was carried

out under crew leader Mr. I. Newby.

'. The work was undertaken over some six production days between 19th November

and 30th November, 1980.

DATA PRESENTATION

Page - two

The dipole-dipole data is presented in standard pseudosection format, while

the detailed gradient arrays are shown in both profile and contour format at

a horizontal scale of 1:1000. The vertical scales employed in the profile

format were 1 centimetre = 4 millivolts/volt, with resistivity on a 10 centimetre

log cycle expressed in ohm-metres. The decay form is not presented as no

material changes were observed other than those referred to in the teXt.

SCOPE OF SURVEY

Dipole-dipole surveys were carried out on sections of six lines with arrays

centred as indicated below:

Line Transmitter Centre

750E (1) 270N

750E(2) l20N

700E 120N

650E 120N

600E 00

550E 00

500E(1) 00

500E(2) l50N

The a spacing was 30 metres with values from n = 1 to 5 being read.

The gradient array was carried out on sections of lines 500E to 750E from a

• 750 metres current dipole placed on line 600E at 570N and 1808. The potential

electrode spacing was 10 metres.

On the original gradient reconnaissance survey, anomalies associated with this

zone were designated F and G and discussed on pages 7 and 8 of the report

TAS-052, and are repeated below:

ZONE 'F' ••••••An 8 millivolts/voZt response above the 12 millivolts/volt

background was recorded at 080N on line 7E coincident with a sharp increase in

resistivity to 3600 ohm-metres from 1600 ohm-metres. The souraeis intel'epreted

as being due to disseminated sulphides within a relatively resistive host. On

line BE a B millivolt/volt response at 046N may be l'elated. The maximwn depth

to sOUJ>ae on each line is 20 metres•

WNE 'G' ..... A signifiaant 10 millivolts/volt l'esponse was reaorded on line

BE at 030S from within resistivities of about 1000 ohm-metres. At 00, no

chargeabiZity readings were obtained, however, the resistivity falls by about

60% to 600 ohm-metl'es. These low resistivities wel'e l'eaorded over a swamp area,

but are not due to that, but to the undel'lying roaks. Both the ahargeability

highs and resistivity lows are of interest in this ease. The maximum depth to

soul'ae at 030S is 20 metl'es.

In that reconnaissance survey, anomaly F was considered of secondary/tertiary

interest, while anomaly G was considered of primary interest.

The detailed gradient array data over this line shows a lower resistivity

background overall, and lower resistivities within the deposit, which extends

from about 60S to 70N on line 600E. This is due to the fact that the volume of

the alteration makes up a greater percentage of the energised volume with the•SCINTREX

Page - foUX'

OL100S

smaller electrode separation. (This feature is seen in an even more pronounced

form on the dipole-dipole data.)

The chargeability data has a slightly higher background of 16 millivolts/volt

as against 12 millivolts/volt for the first survey for the same general reason.

The detailed gradient array on line 600E showed a very similar profile form

for the chargeability response, with the most significant being a 12 millivolts/

volt above background response at 045S(G), an 11 millivolts/volt above background

response at 005N (not recorded on the reconnaissance survey due to 'noise')

and a 7 millivolts/volt response at 045N (F). The maximum depths estimated are

• respectively 30 metres, 20 metres and 20 metres.

The apparent resistivity profile is also similar in form (but of lower background)

to about 80N, after which Zower resistivities (relatively) were observed on

the detailed survey than on the reconnaissance survey. This is almost certainly

due to the southern current electrode for the detailed array being at l80S and

preferentially passing current through the southern dipping alteration zone.

The gradient data when viewed in contour form gives the clear impression of a

series of chargeability responses grid east and west of Waxman and Weston which

have not been resolved by the 50 metres line spacing. The inference, as far

•as the chargeability is concerned, is that the chargeable sources have strike

lengths of less than 100 metres and occur within an overall zone of increased

chargeability. While the 'best fit' is presented in the contour map, it is

considered that the contoured highs may represent individual chargeability events

which do not extend more than say 25 metres(:) east and west of the survey•SCINTREX

Page - five

line. However, the background certainly shows these individual events occur

in a zone of overall anomalism.which terminates on the Waxman and Weston trend

on, or close to 700E, but is apparently still present on line 500E.and open to

the west. This was not so apparent on the reconnaissance array, perhaps because

the bodies causing the anomalies are small.

Detailed Discussion Of Waxman and Weston TPend

Line BODE ••.•.• The dipole-dipole data on this line gives a higher background

than expected - a good 10 millivolts/volt above the background observed in

the original gradient array.

• The most significant anomaly defined was from zone 'G' centred at 0455.

Immediately to the south the 'background' falls to 22 millivolts/volt, but

chargeabilities on the n = 4 reading at 1205 increases to 30 millivolts/volt.

To produce this increase, either a source at depth or a broad increase in

chargeability between 1505 and 2105 would be required. Both are indeed possible

as higher gradient EIP readings were observed on the reconnaissance array on line

700E. The geological data shows a 'greisen vein complex' mapped at this

locality which certainly enhances the interest of this feature.

It is concluded from the dipole-dipole data that a broad source of chargeability

lies be~een 210B and 150B closer to surface and/or at a depth of the order of

•100 metres at 150B +30 metres but most likely off line to the east or west of

this line, as no such chargeable source was interesected in drill hole FED-12

(or at least not obsepved in that hoZe).

•SCINTREX

Lines to the West of Waxman and Weston

Page - six

Line MOE .•.••• The gradient array on this line shows a significant anomaly

above the 15 millivolts/volt background values between 0905 and OlON which

culminates in a significant 11 millivolts/volt above background anomaly centred

at 0455. The background resistivity does not change over the anomaly although

it is a low 200 to 400 ohm-metres. The maximum depth to source is 15 to 20 metres

and it may represent the western extension of zone 'G' (but see above).

The- dipole-dipole data shows a definite maximum indicative of a source between

305 and 605 at a depth of less than -30 metres. This correlates well with the

gradient array.

• A significant increase in the westernmost data series from n = 2 to n = 5,

implies, in a similar fashion to line 600E, a source in the volume of material

from 2105 to 1205 either within 30 metres of surface or more likely at a depth

of the order of 80 metres(~ below 1505 +30 metres.

The 'distortion' seen on the eastern flank of the 'double peak' anomaly due to

the nearer surface source at 0405 is due to a second distinct source defined at

lION and discussed separately below.

The gradient array shows a most distinctive 8 millivolts/volt anomaly centred

at lION associated with the contact between a less resistive (800 ohm-metres~

•rock unit to the south and a two fold increase just north of this point.

The resistivity actually shows a slight depression, implying some minor

conduction within the source. The dipole-dipole data shows only a distortion,

however, the spread did not adequately cover this feature. This response should•SCINTREX

be further 'investigated on the ground.

It is aona~uded that the Waxman and Weston zone arosses this ~ine, and that the

most ahargeab~e seation 'e' on line BOOE at 0458 probab~y aorre~ates with an

anoma~y of similar magnitude and form on this line (550E) at 0408. As for

150B.

Line 500E •••••• While the gradient data confirms the form of the original

reconnaissance survey, the smaller current dipole has emphasised the changes

in induced polarization background. In particular a much increased above

background response between 0505 and 015N was noted, with distinct above

background peaks of 10 millivolts/volt at 0255 and 7 millivolts/volt at 005N,

from sources estimated to have maximum depths of 30 metres and 20 metres

respectively. Generally lower resistivity backgrounds of less than 500 ohm-

metres were noted over these anomalous sections. The profile form on lines

550E and 500E cannot be precisely correlated, so these maxima may be separate

from anomaly 'G' or part of it.

A second most distinctive and narrow anomaly of 8 millivolts/volt above

• background was defined at 0855 from a source whose resistivity is 250 ohm-

metres against a background of 400 to 600 ohm-metres. This source has a maximum

depth of 10 metres and cannot be directly related to any feature seen on line•SCINTREX

Page - eight

550E.

The dipole-dipole work consisted of two transmitter set-ups with a considerable

overlap. (The overlap data is good, however, it should be remembered that

current paths generating the data are almost at right angles and only in

homogeneous conditions will data be precisely repeated on such overlaps.)

The along strike extension to Waxman and Weston is probably marked by the much

lower resistivities of 500 ohm-metres and lower. Of note are the n = 1

resistivity values of 1000 ohm-metres(+) between 0455 and 0155 which are underlain

by markedly lower resistivity. This is interpreted as being due to a resistive

surface layer of limited thickness (say 15 to 20 metres maximum) underlain by

300 ohm-metres values or less. The fonner may represent the granites, and the

latter the altered zone. The horizontal contouring of the chargeability data

south of the zero baseline also suggests this, while the higher chargeability

values at depth below 0305 (n = 4 and 5) suggest a more chargeable source at a

depth of the order of 50 to 80 metres maximum at 305 +30 metres.

The sharp chargeability maximum/resistivity low seen on the gradient array at

0855 is seen only as a resistivity low on the dipole-dipole data. This is

presumably because the source is narrow. However, the data implies that the

low resistivity is part of the same broad source seen under the resistive

capping to the north and is thus of interest in its own right .

A most significant twice background induced polarization anomaly was defined on

the northern flank of the dipole-dipole data. The source is situated at about

lSON and as per line SSOE, the anomaly lies on or close to a marked change

in apparent resistivity. (This is not seen on the gradient array data) Certainly

this response needs to be further investigated. While not directly associated

with the eastern workings, this source lies along strike of the proposed southern

extensions of the eastern workings and therefore may represent a repetition.

•SCINTREX

Page - nine

It is concluded that the data along the strike trend of the Waxman and Weston

prospect strongly suggests that on this line a thin (15 to 20 metres) layer

of more resistive granite overlies a more chargeable less resistive seation

which has the aharaateristias of the Waxman and Weston alteration observed on

line 600E. Increased chargeabilities at 308 ±.30 metres for n = 4 and 5 implies

a more ahargeable source at a maximwn depth of 50 to 70 metres. The sharp

chargeabiZity response from a 10 metres maximum depth sourae centred at 0858

may represent the up dip. near surface expression of the above desaribed zone.

Lines to the East of Waxman and Weston

Line 650E •..... The gradient array data shows a significant induced polarization

response of about 10 to 12 millivolts/volt above background situated from about

030S to 030N. The form of the anomaly suggests a south dipping source. The

northern contact (at precisely 030N) has a maximum depth of S to 10 metres, and

may in fact subcrop. The resistivity data shows only a gradual change from

higher (in the north) to lower (in the south), which shows that the source in no

way influences the conductivity of the host rock. The profile form cannot be

directly correlated with line 600E, however, a guess at correlation would suggest•SCINTREX

Page - ten

O~-f/)·.fA

..i ..1. \}.i ....

that the anomaly at OOSN on line 600E correlates with this source. This suggests

a wholly disseminated sulphide extension to Waxman and Weston which shows little

correlation with specific resistivity lows (a sulphide halo?).

The dipole-dipole data confirms the resistivity change, and the location of the

chargeability high at zero, but depresses the significance of the latter. No

correlation is seen between the resistivity and chargeability data, again

confirming the independence of both parameters on this feature.

It is conaluded that the significant induced polarization anomaly defined on

line 650E between 0158 and 030N represents a wholly disseminated source on a

transition between less resistive rocks to the south and more resistive roaks

to the north. While it cannot be directly related to anomaly G (Wa:rman and

Weston), it could be an easterly extension thereof. Perhaps it represents a

disseminated sulphide 'halo' to the deposit. The m=imum depth to source is

considered to be 5 to 10 metres at 030N.

Line 700E The gradient array data shows only a minor 6 millivolts/volt

response on the strike extension of Waxman and Weston. This is associated with

a significant increase in resistivity. Distinctly lower resistivities of less

than 100 ohm-metres were, however, recorded at 0255 and these are quite atypical

of granites, and as such may represent the location of alteration without the

presence of accompanying sulphides. The dipole-dipole data gives a similar picture,

but in addition implies that the lower chargeability background seen on earlier

n values (15 millivolts/volt) is underlain by higher values at n = 4 and 5 at

0155. While these differences are subtle, a mere 5 millivolts/volt, they may

well imply the presence of sulphides at depth in association with the low•SCINTREX

01t01:)Page - eleven

resistivity values (alteration?).

At 080N a distinct increase in the chargeability to 22 millivolts/volt was noted

on the gradient array, which is accompanied by a two fold increase in resistivity

to 1600 ohm-metres. This feature is confirmed on the dipole-dipole data. The

source is chargeable material within a resistive host, estimated to lie at a

maximum depth of 15 to 20 metres below 080N. The gradient data shows higher

resistivities between 070N and l80N, and on both ends, the depth to the contact

is less than 10 metres. The dipole-dipole data strongly suggests that this unit

is underlain by a much less resistive unit at a depth of the order of 60 metres(+).

The dipole-dipole data does not indicate that this lower resistivity rock unit

• (alteration?) shows any increase in chargeability.

It is conaluded that the Waxman and Weston zone does not cross this line as

a significant feature, although the low resistivity recorded at 0258 together

with the smU chargeability maximum at 00 may be related.

High gradient array resistivities between 070N and lBON are confirmed on the

dipole-dipole data which implies a more resistive layer Bome 60 metres(±) thick.

The southern margin shows a resistive, chargeable source at a maximum depth of

15 to 20 metres.

Line 750E The Waxman and Weston strike extension is barely covered by

the dipole-dipole survey but shows little anomalism by contrast .

•The significant chargeability response from a resistive source located at 080N

on line 700E is, however, present on this line as a distinct n = 2 anomaly•SCINTREX

Page - twelve

centred at 090N. This lies in a broad zone of high (2000 ohm-metres) resistivities,

and higher 20 millivolts/volt chargeabilities than background. The source has

a disseminated SUlphide origin within a resistive host whose maximum depth is

of the order of 30 metres (:).

It i8 coneluded that the most significant response seen on 01' near the e:x:tension

to Waxman and Weston is a 24 miUivolts/volt anomaly at n = 2 at 090N which

correlates to a simil= gradient feature observed on line 700E at OBON. The

source is disseminated and the host resistive.

Data over -the Eastern Workings (and possible strike e:x:tensions)

• The eastern workings were recorded between about 240N and 3155 on line 700E

and have been cut by DOH-FED8. The detailed gradient array shows these workings

to lie within a much broader zone of lower than background resistivities of

800 ohm-metres(+) between about l80N and 300N. Anomaly E defined in the 1977

reconnaissance survey in fact lies outside the southern margin of the deposit,

however, the chargeability over the entire low resistivity section remains

about 4 millivolts/volt(~ above the background observed over the more resistive

rocks. Zone E was described as follows in the original report on the

reconnaissance survey.

ZONE 'E' .•..•. Within the bakcground of about 12 millivolts/volt. a significant

10 millivolts/volt response was recorded at 205N on line 7E in close proximity to

a significant change in resistivity background from 2000 ohm-metres in the south

to 900 ohrtHnetres to the north. The anomaly itself shows a minor depression in

this level. The depth to source is not greater than 20 metres. The anomaly is

Page - thirteenSCINTREX

• open to the east, and to the west may continue as a shaPp 6 to 8 millivolts/volt

above background response at 225N on line 6E. Here the maximum depth is less than

10 metres, and the source wholly disseminated.

The anomaly was considered of secondary geophysical interest.

The dipole-dipole data shows a significant (but incomplete) double peak anomaly

centred at about 210N which is precisely coincident with the gradient array

maximum recorded at 20SN. The depth to source is less than 20 metres and no

significant change in resistivity was defined, which implies the source to be

wholly disseminated, but within a rock type which has lower than background

resistivities (600 ohm-metres~. The form of both the gradient array and

dipole-dipole data suggests a north dip shallower than 40° - 30° .

It is concluded that disseminated sulphides, albeit in slightly more resistive

rocks than observed over the Eastern workings, occur to the south of these

workings at 205N. An increase in resistivity at 180N probabZy marks

the most southern margin of the likely host to any alte~tion/mineralisation.

It therefore appears likeZy that the eastern workings could extend as far south

as 190N, with sulphides at 205N. The dip thereof is implied to be shallow and

to the north (30°_40°)

Line 750E •..... The gradient array surveyed over this line shows higher

background values in chargeability from 30SN to 2lSN (where they are still open),

but no significant anomalies superimposed thereon. While the resistivity profile

is difficult in detail, the overall appearance is very similar to that seen on

line 700E. The along strike correlation with the known extent of the eastern

•SCINTREX

workings would be between 260N and 320N on this line.

01tOjSPage - fOUJ'teen

A dipole-dipole survey was carried out over the possible extensions of the

eastern workings with two transmitter points at 120N and 270N. The overlap is

good considering the different current paths taken and the inhomogeneity of the

section. The dipole-dipole data shows the least resistive sections to be

present between 240N and 300N/330N. The chargeability background varied between

12 to 15 millivolts/volt as against half this over the more resistive rocks

to the north. However, no truly anomalous section was recorded. However, it

should be remembered that the known eastern workings were not characterised by

chargeability anomalies as such, merely higher backgrounds such as those observed

here .

It is concluded that lower resistivities and higher chargeability backgrounds

~y imply the extension to the east of the alteration zones associated with

the eastern workings. There were, however, no significant increases in these

higher than normal backgrounds associated with the lower resistivities.

Line 650E The gradient line laid some 50 metres west of the eastern

workings showed no material increase in chargeability background, merely a

contact between more resistive rocks to the south of 225N, and less resistive

rocks to the north thereof.

It is concluded that the eastern workings do not extend across line 650E.

•SCINTREX

GENERAL CONCLUSIONS

Page - fifteen

I - The lack of chargeability contrast and of a clear cut correlation with the

known deposits of Waxman and Weston and the eastern workings is disappointing.

However, what is clear is that both deposits appear in resistivity lows

quite abnormal for granitic rocks and both are associated with higher than

background chargeabilities.

2 - The moderate but significant chargeability anomalies which have been defined

superimposed on this background must be associated with greater segregations

of sulphides in essentially disseminated form within these zones of alteration.

3 - The conditions of lower resistivity and higher chargeability extend beyond

the limits of the known deposits, and in the case of Waxman and Weston on

line SOOE at 3005(:) are inferred to exist under 30 metres(:) of granite

cover.

4 - The chargeability data over the Waxman and Weston deposit shows a series of

moderate chargeability highs which have strike lengths of the order of the

line spacing, however, all occur within a broad resistivity low. The eastern

workings are characterised by lower resistivities and higher background

chargeabilities, but no truly anomalous values.

5 - While some of the inferences from the dipole-dipole data are subtle, they

are nevertheless considered reasonable, and are worthy of careful geological

evaluation •

BRIEF SIMPLE COMMENTS ON THE GRADIENT, DIPOLE-DIPOLE AND POLE-DIPOLE ARRAYS

AND ON DECAY FORM

INTRODUCTION

In the case of the surveys discussed in this report, it is important that the

geologist can relate the geophysical data to the underlying geology if he is

to make the best use of this data. It is the author's opinion that only the

geologist will be able to relate the data to geology. For this reason brief,

simple comments follow on the salient features of the gradient, dipole-dipole

and pole-dipole arrays. These comments show how the data relates to the volume

of underlying rock which influences it. Comments are also made on the decay form •

DISCUSSION

Gradient Array:- In this array both current electrodes are distant from the

potential dipole. Figure 1 displays the salient features of the primary current

flow and primary equipotential field generated during energisation and shows

the influence of terrain on the current paths. From this diagram it can be

seen that the apparent resistivity measurement is a summation of a volume of

material normal to the local slope, beneath the surface and at right angles

to the line.

The apparent resistivity will be biased by the influence of each current electrode,

but the reZative values of adjacent readings can be considered to be reliable .

As each electrode is approached, the readings become increasingly biased by

that electrode.

beneath the potential dipole. Therefore all maximum depths refer to depths

below surface normal to the slope.

Note also that the volume of material alosest to the potential electrodes will

influence the data most. It is difficult to easily quantify the complex relation-

ship between the volume of material sampled and its distance from the potential

dipole.

Figure 2 displays the secondary current pattern generated from the decay of

induced polarization effect within a chargeable sulphide source, together with

the equipotential field generated by that decay. Note that due to the necessarily

curved nature of the current flow outside the body, the on-surface manifestation

is wider' than the sourae width. Note also that the volume sampled in the primary

potential field (apparent resistivity pa) is not necessarily the same volume as

is the secondary potential field (apparent chargeability Ma). This is, of course,

true for any array.

Dipole-Dipole:- In this array the current dipole is generally small, generally

20 to 100 metres. Figure 3 displays the current pattern in section and in plan

for a dipole-dipole array. The equipotential PI and P2 tap a volume as shown

in this diagram whose characteristics are read on the n = 1 station and plotted

as a single point midway between the transmitting dipole CI to C2 and the potential

dipole PI to P2. As progressively higher n values are read, a deeper and wider

volume of material is sampled, this always being plotted midway between the

transmitting and receiving dipole, and at a deeper level in the pseudo-section

presentation used in this report. It is vital to realise that this data point

that of the total volume sampled.

A further characteristic of the array is that where the effective spacing (n x a)

is greater than the depth to the source, a 'high' (or 'low', depending on

characteristics) will occur as each of the dipoles (i.e. transmitting CI and C2

and potential PI and P2) pass over the source of that anomaly. The resultant

45° patterns on the pseudo-section DO NOT represent dip, or even depth extent,

but merely represent a complex interference pattern over the source due to the

potential and current dipoles. For a single source, this double peak effect can

be recognised as it tends to have two maxima displaced by (n x a + lJ) where lJ

is the width of the source. For multiple bodies this is difficult if not

impossible to resolve by dipole-dipole arrays alone •

The enclosed Figure 4 shows the discharge of the energy stored in the body. As

can be seen, the area sampled in section is tapped between the equipotentials

generated by the discharge of the stored energy. These will not necesssarily

be of the same form as those for the resistivity data, although they are, for

convenience, plotted in the same format as for resistivity. Again, it is vital

to note that they represent the. volume sampled as shown in Figure 4, and not

the characteristics of the point at which they are plotted. Double peaks also

occur as each of the two sets of electrodes pass over .a source, where n x a is

greater than the depth to source. Where n x a is less than the depth to source,

a single maximum will be produced midway between the energising and measuring

Pole-Dipole:- This array is similar in principle to the dipole-dipole array,

except that a single electrode is placed 'close' to the potential dipole, with•SCINTREX

Page - fou:t'

an 'infinite' electrode placed 10 xn x a away from the 'pole-dipole' set-up,

and, where practical, at right angles to it. The enclosed Figure 5 shows the

distribution of current flow in section and in plan, about the pole source CI •

The potential electrodes PI and P2 tap off the volume between them, which is

contained between spheres whose centres are the pole source. The primary current

reading is normalised for the geometry and plotted in profile or pseudo-section

format as per dipole-dipole, namely, midway between the closest potential and

current dpoles, which in the pseudo-section format is 45° towards the pole source.

The chargeability reading is generated in a similar fashion to that described for

tti~ole-dipole (Figure 4).

As with the dipole-dipole array, a double peak will result when n x a is

greater than the depth to source, however, with pole-dipole it will be asymmetric.

This will be true for both major resistivity features as well as for chargeability

features. An example of this asymmetry for different depth to spacing arrays is

shown for the three-array. (The three-array is a pole-dipole array when n = 1

and the a spacing is varied.)

The Choice Between Arrays:- Even after some thirty years of active use of

gradient, dipole-dipole and pole-dipole arrays, controversy still reigns as to

the relative merit of the various arrays. Much depends on the object of the

programme, the terrain, the type of source sought, the type and complexity of

the overburden/oxidation. Table 1 shows a comparison between arrays which may

be helpful, taken from a fairly recent Canadian Geological Survey publication .

In resistive mountainous terrain the author prefers the gradient array as the

prime reconnaissance method due to the high productivity (2 to 5 times that for

Page - five

pole-dipole surveys as the gradient array, while giving 'maximum depths',

cannot give 'minimum depths' as moving source arrays can. Similarly pole-

or dipole-dipole surveys which have complex or muliptle sources can very often

be resolved by use of limited gradient array detail. While pole-dipole is more

'efficient to apply in mountainous terrain, it tends to yield asymmetric double

peak anomalies, however, to the trained observer, this is no disadvantage.

Brief Comments on Decay Form:- In most surveys three 'slices' of the decay

form for the induced polarization reponse are acquired for each station as

shown in Figure 7. While six slices are capable of being measured (M1 to M6 ),

they are normally combined into pairs Ml + M2 = Ml etc. as shown in Figure 7(C).

Each of the slices M1 to M6 is normalised for a 'normal' decay form such that

should the decay form be 'normal' M1 = Ma = Ms. Thus the operator can immediately

recognise any anomalous decay forms which may arise from one of two major sources.

Firstly the type of the source can influence the decay form. Coarse grained

effi'cient sources such as sulphides show slow decay forms, magnetic and fine

grained sulphides often show fast decay forms. This can be shown as lIM = Ms - Ml,

where positive lIM infers slow decay form and negative lIM fast decay form. A

superior parameter is lIMn where

liMn = x 100 (in percent)

which is essentially lIM normalised for the amplitude of the decay. lIM and lIMn

are merely short hand ways to profile changes in decay form and are essentially

qualitative and relative •

Decay forms can also demonstrate the presence of electromagnetic coupling as

Figure 7 shows. This is a regional effect as shown on Figure 7(b). This will
