Faults Mapping Using Electrical Resistivity Tomography (E.R.T.)

ELECTRICAL ELECTROMAGNETICS & GPR O10 - 01 FAULTS MAPPING USING ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY TOMOGRAPHY (E.R.T.) Introduction I. Oancea A. Petrescu INCDMRR Bucharest Romania Faults and fractures are generally speaking undesired elements in mining exploitation activity constituing the main access path for mining water. On the other hand crossing faults with mining workings is always very difficult and dangerous. There are situations when presents of faults are benefically; the case of uranium ore bodies when uraniferous mineralization is locate specially over the fractures. With this reason in mind we consider very important to posses a fast and cheap methodology to help in
