1-2-3 Sampl¢ Measurements. S —FNenty-aik rock samples were collected from Erdouz. sector and their resistivities were measured in laboratory. The results are as follows (see Table TI-1-1 and 11-1-2). Resistivitycof rock samples were ieasured under two conditions, one after samples being dried for one day in oven of 110 degrees called as diy measurement and one after-danples immersed in water for three days called as wet measurenent. (1) Resistivity variation of rock samples for the same rock type are’ rela~ tively: large. Especially rock: types with'many ‘samples, pelitic schist and psannitic schist, show larger variation: Dry: measurements shows larger vatiation than wet sample measurements. “For wet measurements, ratio of the highest resistivity value and the lowest resistivity value of the same rock type samples is from one to four to one to nineteen. (2) Dey measurements show about 6 to 350 times larger resistivity value than those of wet measurements. (3) From sample resistivity measurements, rocks are classified as follows. ; average resistivity rock (oha-m) Resistive rocks pelitic schist, porphyrite 2,891, 3,017 Interwediate rocks psannitic schist, granit 1,170, 1,780 Conductive rocks _gréen schist, Limestone 317,745. 1-3 Discussion 7 ‘The results of the CSAMT survey are ‘shown as "Apparent Resistivity vs Frequency Curves" (Fig. [-1-5(1)' to (27)) at each station. The curves axe classified into three groups, The three groups are as follows: 1). type 1 ‘The curve of the station 5 represents the type 1. At the higher frequency range, apparent resistivity is high, and the lover frequency, the apparent resistivity becomes lower (on log-log plot the curve decrease by 45 degrees). The stations belong to this type are the stations 5, 6, 7, 21, 22, 23, 2%, 26, 27, and 30, @) ype 2 The ¢urve of the station 12 represents the type 2, At frequency over 15000 liz} apparent resistivity. is over 10 k ohn-m, and at frequency from 1000 fiz to 50 Hz, apparent resistivity is Mnear to frequency, At Erequ- ency below 50'Hz, apparent resistivity is almost unchange. .However apparent resistivity value at 4 He ie lover than that at 8 Hz. Stations belong to this type are the stations 8, 9, 20, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 25, 28, and 31. (3) Type 3 The curve of the station 19 represent the type 3. Apparent resistivity at higher frequency is high, and it becomes lower along with frequency decrease, “However the slope of curves are gentle and not so steep as that of type 1 (45 degrees). Apparent resistivity value changes very gently at -39- frequency between 100 and 200 Hz and again decreases along with frequency below.20 liz. Stations belongs to this type are the stations 4, 17, 18, and 19, ‘The classification of apparent resistivity ve frequency curvé is not absolute and, there are some intermediate. stations of two’ types. Relation between classified type and. geology :is discussed: in following paragraphs. Most stations of type.1 are in the east of Erdouz fault. Station 7 is the only exception of this and is in the west of the fault. lowever the curve of the station 7 is not typical of type 1 but internediate of type Land type 2. Type 2 is seen in the west of Brdouz faule except the station 25. Type 3 is seen only around Bréouz Northern ore ‘deposit. : The distribution of each types suggests that classification of apparent resistivity vs frequency curves can be related to geology of the area, No apparent resistivity vs frequency curve of the survey area show so called near-field effect. 1-3-1 Layered Earth Model Analysis AIL apparent resistivity vs frequency curves are interpreted into horizontally layered earth models by computer. For calculating horizontal- ly layered earth model, initi ial values of layer thicknesses and resistivities of each layer are infered from apparent resistivity vs frequency curve, The infered initial values are inputted to a computer and a computer calcu- lated best £it layered earth model for each curve. Because thus calculated models are independently obtained, models of adjacent stations tay disagree each other, In such occasion, after changing the initial values and Putting some limitations on layer thickness or resistivity, layered earth model are recalculated, On some curves, layer thickness and resistivity cannot be deterained from curves but only ratio of thickness and resistivity, nainely conductance. For this suivey, soivé stations can be interpreted as only conductance. Yor such occasion, either layer thickness or resistivity is assuned from nodel of adjacent station and is assumed to be continuous to the concerned station. The result of layered model interpretation is discussed by the classified types in the following paragraphs: GQ) type 1 : The most stations of this type ate interpreted as three layered earth: Resistivity structure is that the top layer is resistive with resistivity between 1k and 10 k olm-m and thickness between 300 to 1,500 m and is followed by conductive layer with resistivity below 20 ohm-m (except at the stations 23 and 24). ‘Those stations of type 1 with apparent resistivity vs frequency curve having 45 degrees declination below 1,000 Hz are inter- preted'as'two layer earth. The stations of this type with more. gentle decrease éurvé are intetpreted with intermediate second layer with inter mediate resistivity. At the stations 5 and 6, the intermediate layer ie with resistivity of 20 ohn-m and’ thickness of 100m, The intermediate layer at the stations 23, 24, 26, and 27 are with resistivity between 800 and 3,000 otm-m and thickness about 500 a, (2) “Type 2 Most stations of type 2 a¥e interpreted as fou Layered earth. = 40 = ‘Table 1-1-1 Rock Sample Measurements, Erdouz Sector Location Resistivity (ohn-m) Rock Type Station Nov pry Wet 13,282 377 tuffacious green schist 27,063 922 pelitic schist @ 280,193 3,912 pelitic balek schist 310,531 10,037 pelitic black échist 16,342 533 pelitic schist 41,070 6,993 pelitic schist 475,666 43550 pelitic black schist 162,797 2,75) pelitic black schist 102,927 2,891 348,867 1,315 psanmitic schist 86, 764 1,097 ic schist 426,429 3,505 schist 529,397 4,321 psamnitic schist 88,982 599 psanmitic schist 43,761 1,850 psanmitic schist 60, 784 669 psanmmitic schist 60,503 2,232 peanmitic schist 3,371 "495, psamaitic schist 223,887 629 psamitic schist @ 381 499 psanmitic schist spls| 61,166 1,170 91,019 1,329 Limestone 27,881 325, Limestone 27,051 957 calearious schist ‘Av of 3 spls 40,946 us 7 74,437 14 micro granite 23 280,500 4,258 micro granite Av of 2 spls 144,498 1, 760 16 226 , 486 9,279 porphyrite 18, 40,302 981 porphyrite @ Av of 2 spls 95,540 3,017 The general resistivity structure is as follows: Resistivity (ohm) Thickness .(m) lst Layer approx, 10,000 1,000 to. 2,000 2nd layer 20 approx. 100 3id layer 800 approx. 2,000' 4th layer. below 10 Resistivity values and, thickness of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th layers are not thick enough to be determined independently. from apparent resistivity ve frequency, curves and are interpreted only-ad ratio of thickatss and resistivity, namely conductance, ‘therefore before interpreting curves of type 2, either thickeess or resistivity of 2nd, 3rd and 4th layers are needed to be determined, Yor interpreting curves of type 2} the second layer re~ sistivity is fixed as 20 obm-m, the thire layer resistivity to be 800 obm-m, and the fourth layer to be 10 ohm-m, (3) ‘type 3. 4 ‘The curves of type 3 except the station 19 are interpreted as “tow layered earth. , the firet layer is 200 to 500 m thick and 40 6 400' ohu-a, The bottom layer resistivity is infered to be as 1 to 15 oha-m 1=3-2_ Discussion About Sections . ‘Ae stated on the section 1-3-1, apparent resistivity vs frequency curves are interpreted into horizontally layered earth at each stations. Four xesistivity sections axe drawa along Lines shown on Fig. 11-2 (see Pig. [1-1-}.to Pig. [1-1-4). Details of each sections are as follows: Q) AAT Secticn Stations along this section, except the stations 7 and 14, have siviler tosistivicy structure and continuity of resistivity layers along this section is relatively well. ‘Thicknesses of layers at the station 14 are about double of those at neighboring stations, the stations 13 and 15. The apparent resistivity vs frequency curves at the stations 13 and 15 are almost identical, however the curve at the station 14 €it to those at stations 13 and 15, if the former is shifted down in verticat direction, apparent resistivity axis. This may have caused by a typical effect in HT survey, called static shift. Static shift is that where resistivity structure is similar in the depths but have large change at only near surface on limited area around the station, apparent resistivity vs frequency curve shifts along vertical, resistivity axis, up,or down depends on the limited area being resistive or conductive. In order, to decide whother static shift has occurred and how mich of shift has occurred, surface resistivity around the considered station decd to’ be studied in détails, Because station interval of this survey is 300 m, it cannot be concluded that static shift has occurred at the station 14 and resistivity is shifted by the factor of four and layer thickness by two. However the shape of the apparent resistivity vs frequency curve at station 14 ie very similar to those at-tho stations 13, 15 and-28 so that it is reasonable to assune that static shift occurred at the station 14, On the, section A-A' (Fig, I1-1-1), the depths of all layers at the station 14 are two to three times deeper than those at neighboring stations, - 4b but because af the reason stated above it is fair to assume that the true depths of all layer's are about the sane as those at the adjacent stations. The resistivity structures along A-A' axe relatively horogeneous laterally. @) Section B-Bt , The section B-B' runs from Brdouz Northern ore deposit to Brdouz Peak and is drawn for studying the N-S extension of Erdouz Northern ore deposit. ‘The resistivity structures along the line can bé devided into three zones, the one north of the station 18, around Eydovz Northern ore deposit, the, one, between the station 20 and 24, and the one’south of the station 25, In, the: area around: and the nokth of Brdowe Northern ove deposit, resistivity of the first layer: is between 250.ohm-m afd 450 olmi-m and ite thickness. Ls between 220 mand 325m, Resistivity'of the second Layér, the bottom, layer, is around 10 ohn-m, Because resistivity around Northern ore deposit. is low, depth of. survey must be Less than'1,000 m. ‘Therefore thick= ness'of thé second layer must be over 100 m but not deterained. The area between the stations 20 and 24 shows apparent resistivity vs frequency curves as the type 1. The curves here show relatively gentle slope at higher frequency and at lover frequency slope of the curves become 45 degrees, Resistivity and thickness of the first layer in thé area is definitely interpreted as about 10 k ohn-m and about 1 km, but resistivity of the bottom layer is interpreted as tess that 100 dim-m andits thickness cannot be determined. In some stations, intermediate layer with resistivity of around 100 obin-m is interpreted between resistive top layer and condue~ tive bottom layer. The interoediate layer appeares because of slope of curves. being less than 45 degrees if curves are interpreted as layered earth, The apparent resistivity vs frequency curve of the station 25 belongs to type 2 and its resistivity structure is similar to that of the section A-A'. However the curve of the station 25 appears to be shifted to higher resistivity than those of typical station of type 2, This shift way have caused by static shift as the station 14 but because wo station neighboring to the station 25 show the same type curve, it is hard to decide whether static shift occurred at the station. If static shift has caused resis~ tivity shite on the CSANT data at the station 25, resistivity structure at the station 25 would bea few times less than what is stated on the inter- pretation. G) Section ¢-c' The. section C-Ct is NE-SH direction, parallel to the section’ A-A', and the east of Erdous fault,. ‘The direction of the section A-A' is exten- sion of the Line connecting thé stations belong to’ type 3 around Erdouz Northern ore deposit, : The area north of: the station 19 has: type 3 apparent resistivity Vs frequency curve andthe south of the station shows type L. No indication of type 3 has found in the south of the station 19.’ G) Section Dept, : The ;section D-D' is. E-W directidn and cits Exdoud fault, ‘Type f apparent résistivity ve frequency curve changes ‘at between the statiéng 27 and,28, > Those at east of the station 27 are type-l and those at west of the station 28 are type 2, Itseems that resistivity atructute has” changed between the stations 14 and28, but as stated at the (1) Section A-A', it is likely due to static shift’at the station 14, The différenee 42 of resistivity structures at the stations 14 and 28 way not be so large. At the stations east of the station 27, there are no indication of type 3 and all stations show type 1. The sections and the type classification of apparent resistivity vs Frequency ourve show that Erdouz fault affect largely on resistivity structures in the area. Around Erdouz Northern ore deposit, low resistivity zone extending NE-SW direction is found and may correspond to Limestone with complex fault system. However from this survey result, it is not found that the low resistivity zone around Northern ore deposit may extend under Erdouz Peak. = 43 - CHAPEER 2 AZECOUR SECTOR 2-1 Outline of the SIP Survey 2-1-1 Outline of Sib Method : : : Spectral Induced Polarization Methéd (called as SIP, also known as complex resistivity wethod) is introduced by Zongé ct, al (1975), and Pelton et al, (1978) as a new phase of IP method. ‘The conventional IP mathed measures PFB or chargeability and apparent resistivity, while SIP neasures phase differences of transmitting signal and received signal in the wide range of frequencies from 0.1 Wz to several tens of Hz and phase spectrum is anglized, a ‘The adyantage of SIP over conventional 1P is as follows: 1) “Blectromagnetic coupling, which is the largest noise source in IP measurements, can be eliminated. 2) Source of IP effect may be identified as mineral nave or mineralization type from the shape of spectrum. : The difficiency of SIP is that SIP equipment is more complicated and heavier than conventional IP equipment, so that they are wore delicate to handle and more difficult to transport. Tn order to measure phase spectrum in wide range of frequency, SIP measurenents are nore tine consuning. On this. report the spectrum type is presented by Zonge's notation which is as follows: fe band tan® > 20% 202> tand > 10% 102> tand > 0% 02> tand 3-107 -10%> tanO 35-20% 6.24. +20%> tan 7. Phase Notation : 5 5 eo ree > 21-2 Outline of the Survey Azegour sector is at the middle betwéen Erdouz sector and Amezmiz, The elevation of the area is from 1,400 m to 1,700 m. There is deserted old Azegour mine about 2 km south of the survey area, In the survey atea there are several old exploration tunnets (see, Fig. 11-214). SIP survey was carried out along four lines in E-W direction totaling 4.6 km and 144 points. Separation between the survey Lines is about 200 a, SIP measurements were carried out from the survey tent being set at the 45 center of cach lines. For confirming varidity of the survey, repeat measurement was made by interchanging positions of current electrodes and potential electrodes at several points for each survey line. ‘two tin coated iron plates (50 cm by 50 cn) are burried as each current electrode. In otder to lower resistance between tin plate and ‘earth, mixture of bentiite, salt, and water wore’ inserted near tin’ plates: The frequencies of transmitting current signal were 0.125 He, 1.0 He and 8.0 itz and thé first to eleventh order odd harmdnies of transmitting curveat ‘sigial weré recorded. Apparent reaistivity and phase difference between source signal and recéived signal were calewlated at each station. Transmitting signal curreit was over 2°A. Electrode configuration used is dipole-dipole, electrode separation (a) is 100 m, and electrode separation’ constaat (N) is from 1 to 5. Current electrods aré burried only between stations 2 and 8. Your exploratory drill holes, ATR-1, ATE+2, ATE=3, and ATB-4, were drilled a€ near the station 5's of line A and Line B.

Bet A Line (1) ‘Apparent: Resietivity Apparent resistivity values along this Line are relatively high. ‘The cast of the station 7 is over 1k olan, Low resistivity zone under 500 ohn-m extends from near surface between the stations 2 and 3 to depths ia the ground with eastward dip. (2) IP befect Pseudo sections of 0.125 Nz phase difference and 3pt decoupled phase atong this Line is almost ideitical and there must be only negtigibie electromagnetic coupling effect on low frequency data, Distribution pattera of PFE is very similar to that of 0,125 He. PRE value of nonmineralized area along this Jine is under 3%, and it is distributed Nel to 3 at east of the station 3, High PFE, éver 4% is between the stations 4 and 5 at N=3 with eastward dip, PFE values of the former high PFE zone is higher than the latter. Most decoupled cole-cole diagrams show horizontal flat line at all frequency (from .125 Hz to 88 Wz) and de not vary by stations. At the stations between 6 and 9 for N being 1 to 2, decoupled cole-cole diagrans increases with frequency, and all‘othér station show either horizontal or decreasing with frequency. Their inclination is very gentle. 2 B Line (1) Apparent Resistivity Wigh resistivity zone over 1 k olm-m is seen at depths, N over 3, at the stations between 3 and 5 and east of the station 7.

Low PEE values, undét 32, are seen at ‘depths of the stations 2 and 4, and east of the station 6. PFE values along this line are generally ‘smaller than along other lines. High PPE,,over 4%, are at the stations 1 and 2, and at depths of the station 3 (N=.4 to.5). Cole-cole diagrams along the Line show either horizontal or increasing with frequency.

Cole-cole diagrams generally show horizontal to increasing-with- frequency flat Lines at the east of the station 5, .and at the west of the station 5, they are horizontal to decreasing-with-frequency Lines. Phase spectrum at depths of the station 8 (N=4,5) show negative values at higher frequencies. However PEF values at these points are low, 1.0 and 1.1%. The phase spectra at other points show positive values and, at higher frequencies, phase values being larger and very homogeneous. 2-2-5 Plan Distribution of Apparent Resistivity parent resistivity plans of five electrode separation constants QW = 1 to 5) are made (see PL.11-2-2.to Fl,.I[-2-6), Their details are described in the following section.

This conductive zone rung a few tens meters west of and parallel to the host rock, limestone layer. Conductive, zone below 500 olw-m is at the stations 4 and 5 of the line C.

The results are as follows: ()_ Resistivity values vary largely even for the same rock type. The difference of resistivity values of the same rock type is very large. The PFE values of spotted schist and gneissose schist show variation of two to three times, and variation of pelitic schist and garset skarn is over ten times.

As the results of the above four diamond drillings, it has revealed that the stronger skarnizations as replacing all of the Limestone were made downward aud the ainevalization of molitdenun tended to be predowi~ nated downward at the hanging walls of skarnized zones in ATE-1 hole and ATE-2 hole. On the other hand, no such remarkable tendency of skaraization and mineralization of molibdenun were observed in ATE~3 hole and ATE-4 hole, Later two holes were characterized by the dissemination of pyrite in Limestone layers, These facts might indicate the possibility of strong mineralization of molybdenite at the southerd side of the ENE-WSH fault, but it still remains in question. ‘Therefore, it needs the further exploration to eluctde this unsolved problem. 2-4 Discussion. ALL apparent resistivity values measured in Azégour sector are over 200 ohn-m, Phase pseudo sections of frequency below 1 Hz show very similar values. Therefore pseudo sections of low frequency phase, 3 pt- decoupled phase show almost identical pattern, PFE pseudo sections also have the same pattern as phase pseudo sections. Values obtained by multiplying 7.7 to PPE values in percent aré approximately sane as phase values of 0,125 Ha in m rad, ‘The reason why the difference of phase distributions in lower frequencies and PFE is negligible is because resistivity of the ground: is very high, over 200 obn-m, and no electro magnetic coupling between trans- mitting circuit and receiving circuit occurred. - _Arithnatic average of PFE values in this area is 3.21% atd rather high. ‘The high PFE is probably caused by the fact that fine-grained pyrite is distributed in most layers in this area, From. IP measurenents, two demensional structure models were made for each survey line and studied with computor, The model shows that a high PEE layer (4 to, 5%) with resistivity of 200 to 300, otm-m ts along -Line- stone layer, host rock of the area. ‘The wentfoned high PFE layer dips toward east. At the east of granite dykes, there is low PFB layer (1 to 2%) with resistivity of over 1,000 ohm-m, The small limestone layers attached to this granite dykes show also high PFE and conductive, © PRE values at the west of the granite dyke is 1 to 2% higher than that at east of the dyke, This PFE change-is thought to be caused by change of pyrite contents in. respective layers.
