Integrated Interpretation of Geophysical Data on Metalliferous Mining Waste Deposits

The geophysical investigation of waste dumps has registered a huge progress in the last two decades, benefiting implicitly of a significant improving until present times of the data acquisition, processing and interpretation techniques. The integrated interpretation of many datasets, each belonging to a different investigation method, proved to be the optimum solution for high quality results in the condition of relatively small investments in the data acquisition stage. The resistivity, conductivity and magnetic surveys are some of the cheapest near-surface investigation methods. In this study we present an approach of the integrated investigation of metalliferous mining waste deposits using these three methods.
