The growing interest in Ghana’s gold mining sector due to the recent upsurge in the price of gold has impacted greatly on the economy of the country with regard to its revenue generation capacity. There is therefore the need to develop this sector. Hence, any new method which is relatively low cost and has comparable efficiency compared to prevailing conventional methods in delineating new pote...

Even though ground geophysical surveys (especially Induced polarization and resistivity) are applied in mineral exploration, their effectiveness identification of mineralised zones is often enhanced by integrating other exploration techniques such as remote sensing geological investigations. Integrating different helps reducing uncertainty that associated with exploration. The methods being int...

Penelitian yang telah dilakukan pada tahun 2015 di Oemanu dengan menggunakan metode geolistrik resistivitas 2D konfigurasi Wenner mendapatkan hasil sebaran zona berpotensi mengandung mangan. Namun, penelitian tersebut tidak memuat informasi terkait posisi dan jumlah dugaan secara detail. Hal ini ditunjukkan pit test , dimana hanya ada satu titik berhasil dieksploitasi dari sembilan dianggap ber...

The mineral alteration patterns in high- to low-temperature geothermal fields affect the induced polarization (electrical conductivity and chargeability) properties of volcanic rocks. Indeed, these are sensitive cation exchange capacity porosity rock, which both dependent on path, temperature, depth burial. Therefore tomography appears as a powerful non-intrusive geophysical method investigate ...

We propose a 2D/3D forward modelling and inversion package to invert direct current (DC)-resistivity, time-domain induced polarization (TDIP), and frequency-domain induced polarization (FDIP) data. Each cell used for the discretization of the 2D/3D problems is characterized by a DC-resistivity value and a chargeability or complex conductivity for TDIP/FDIP problems, respectively. The governing ...

There is tremendous growth in fields where small functional molecules and colloidal nanomaterials are integrated into thin films for solid-state device applications. Many of these materials are synthesized in solution and there often exists a significant barrier to transition them into the solid state in an efficient manner. Here, we develop a methodology employing an electrodepositable copolym...

Complex conductivity measurements of carbonate rocks are scarce despite the occurrence these at surface Earth. The complex spectra 57 samples were measured in a broad frequency range and four salinities (NaCl). A simple model induced polarization is developed to be applied field. in-phase (related conduction) reported as function pore water determine (intrinsic) formation factor conductivity. n...
