Overview of Geoelectric and IP Methods

CHAPTER 2
OVERVIEW OF GEOELECTRIC AND IP METHODS

Geophysics is the science that studies the application of physics concepts and
laws on the issues or terrestrial phenomena. In geophysics, it is known some
geophysical exploration methods, i.e methods that apply the physics concepts
and laws to predict the physical characteristics of rocks / medium under the
surface. The distribution of physical parameters such as density, magnetic
susceptibility, propagation velocity of seismic wave (vp, vs), resistivity or
conductivity and so on, are associated with the condition, material
characteristics of rocks and certain geological structures. Thus investigations
using geophysical methods can be utilized for the purposes of geological study,
natural resources exploration (water-land, mineral, geothermal, oil and gas) as
well as environmental studies.

In the iron ore investigation carried out in the investigation area, a geophysical
method used is the geomagnetic method.

One example of geophysical methods is gravity method that based on Newton's


laws about gravity. The acceleration of Earth's gravity is a power which taken
place by a unit mass due to the earth gravitation. In general, the density
distribution in the earth causes the gravitational acceleration that measured at
the earth's surface are varied with their positions. Therefore, the measurement
of gravitational acceleration as a position can be used to estimate the density
variation under-surface. Almost the same concepts are also applied in to
geomagnetic in which the variations in Earth's magnetic field is a response to
the distribution of magnetic characteristics of rocks.

In the gravitational method, gravity force arises without requiring excitation or


external interference. On geoelectric method earth response of arises as a result
of excitation from outside on an electric current that flowed into the earth. The
earth response as the media can be measured and it reflects the distribution of

the electrical characteristics (in this case resistivity or electrical conductivity)


under surface. The next discussion will be focused on resistivity method.

2.1 Resistance dan Resistivity


In the simple electric circuit (Figure 2.1), it is applied Ohm's Law which connects
to potential difference V (in volts) with electric current I (in amperes) and
resistance (in ohms) by the equation:

V RI (2.1)

Resistance is often referred to as barrier or electrical resistance.

R

FIGURE 2.1
Simple electric circuit

Resistance of an electrical load depends on the material types and dimensions.


For similar material types and diameters (or cross-sectional area), the resistance
is getting large by rising length of the material. Instead, the equal length of
material, the resistance will be reduced if the diameter or cross sectional of
which is risen (Figure 2.1). Thus the resistance is not the magnitude or quantities
which can characterize the electrical characteristics of material due to the
resistance depends on material types and dimensions.

Resistivity is a quantity which can characterize the electrical characteristics of


the material because it only depends on the material type. Resistivity indicates
the simplicity or diffculty level material in conducting electric current. To
indicate the material characteristics in conducting electricity, it can also be used

a conductivity magnitude ) with a unit of Siemens / meter. Geoelectric
method can be used to estimate the resistivity of rock or subsurface geological
formations by providing excitation / injection of flows into the earth and
measuring the response.

2.2 Resistivity of Rocks


The mechanism of electricity in rock formations is dominated by electrolytic
conduction, in which the flow of charged particles (ions) occured in water or

electrolyte solution that contained in the rock pores. The electricity current
through the rock matrix is generally very small. The resistivity of rocks is
strongly influenced by the rock pores and characteristics of the electrolyte
solution as pores filling. Porosity is the ratio of the volume of empty space in
rocks to the entire volume rock and it is indicated in fractions or percentages
(0.1 or 10%).

The characteristics of electrolyte solution are also indicated by the magnitude of


the resistivity as a function of salinity and its temperature. Both of parameters
determine the number and mobility of ions in solution. The conductivity of
water formation w (in Siemens / meter) can be estimated, it is based on
salinity S (in gram / liter) and the temperature T (in OC) using the following
empirical equation:

w  (1.17013  0.03299 T 1.05257 ) S 0.90347 (2.3)

The equation can also be used to estimate the salinity of an electrolyte solution
is based on the price of conductivity and its temperature. Figure 2.3 showed
conductivity curve of some saline solution as a function of salinity, while Figure
2.4 shows the conductivity variation of NaCl solution as a function of salinity
and temperature.

Archie’s law obtained empirically indicated that resistivity of rock formations


(especially sedimentary rock) f are a function of porosity  and formation water
resistivity w:

 f  a  w  m (2.4)

where a (0.6 <a <1.0) is constant, m (1.3 <m <2.5) is rock cementation factor.
Archie law assumes that all rock pores filled by formation water (saturation).

FIGURE 2.4

The resistivity of rock formations are also influenced by other factors such as:
• origins of rock (rocks are relatively more resistive to sedimentary rocks),

Overview of Geoelectric and IP Methods

• rocks age (the old rocks tend to be more resistive because the secondary
mineralization process, compacting and so on, that cause porosity
decreases),
• texture of rock (rocks composed by homogeneous granules have a higher
porosity so it tends to be more conductive, Figure 2.5),
• geological processes (Figure 2.6),
• lithology / rock type (Figure 2.7).

Rock types can not be determined only by the resistivity because of many
factors that affect resistivity of rock and overlap resistivity ranges. Geoelectric
survey can only estimate the probability of subsurface-surface geological
conditions. Additional supporting data (geology or geophysics) is required to
further sharpen the conclusion of a geoelectric survey.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Geophysical Interpretation


IP measurement results can be grouped into 3 potential types based on the
resistivity and chargeability value which shown in 2D section (Fig. 05):
1. Potential Zone Type 1, iron ore potential zone with relatively high
resistivity (1000 < Rho < 3000 Ohm-m) and high chargeability value
(chargeability/IP > 100 msec)
2. Potential Zone Type 2, other associated mineral potential zone with
relatively low or possibly alteration zone (10 < Rho < 1000 Ohm-m)
and high chargeability value (chargeability/IP > 100 msec)
3. Potential Zone Type 3, other associated mineral potential zone with
relatively high (Rho > 2000 Ohm-m) and high chargeability value
(chargeability/IP > 100 msec).
Geological study needs to be conducted to confirm this zone.
From the description above, the survey location can be divided into iron ore
potential zone and other mineral potential zone.

4.3 Resistivity Sketch and Image


The resistivity distribution value can be provided from the sketch horizontally
on the surface where the apparent resistivity value varies from 10 - 13000
Ohm-m and represented by the colour of dark blue - light blue - light green
- green - yellow - pink - red respectively (represents low to high resistivity).
Based on the resistivity data, the survey area consists of relatively low
resistivity zone (10 Ohm-m) to relatively high resistivity zone (13000 Ohm-m)
and can be interpreted as soil, volcanic rock and dense rock such as granite.
Certain locations indicated the value of high resistivity > 3000 Ohm-m and
possible granite while the volcanic rock has low resistivity (< 1000 Ohm-m).
Granitoid is assumed as basement rock and relatively shallow and become
shallower to the east. Iron ore possibly lies on the contact zone between
granite and overlying volcanic rock with resistivity value 1000 - 3000 Ohm-m.
The area with the relatively high resistivity value 1000 < Rho < 3000 Ohm-m
lies in the middle part of southern area and covering ±5 ha area while in the
middle part of northern area coverage area is ±4 ha.

4.4 Chargeability Sketch and Image


This sketch can provide the information about the distribution of sulphide
mineralisation rate horizontally on the surface where the contour of
chargeability value varies from 10 - 800 msec and represented by the colour
of dark blue - light blue - light green - green - yellow - pink respectively
(represents low to high chargeability). The survey area is dominated by low
chargeability value (< 50 msec) and interpreted that the area has low
sulphide mineralisation or no mineralisation occurred. The area with the
relatively high chargeability value (> 100 msec) interpreted as sulphide
mineralisation zone and located in the middle part of southern area and in
the middle part of northern area. Chargeability anomaly pattern has direction
east - west and shows the indication of iron ore potential zone and or the
other minerals such as gold (Au), copper (Cu) and galena (Pb).

4.5 Induced Polarisation (IP) Sketch


The IP anomaly sketch made based on the overlaying/intersection of 2D
section between the high chargeability value (> 100 msec) which conform
with relatively high/medium resistivity value (1000 < Rho < 3000 Ohm-m).
The area which has high resistivity value (>2000 Ohm-m) is interpreted as
type 1 and type 2 potential zone (see art. 8). IP anomaly sketch provide the
information about IP anomaly distribution in the whole average depth. Also
correlation of the sulphide mineralisation rate with resistivity value vertically
and horizontally and on the map shown in dash green line. The most of
survey area is high resistivity value (IP anomaly) and interpreted as igneous
rock dominated such as granite and associated with high sulphide
mineralisation. The coverage area is more than 70% from total area, both in
the northern and southern part of the area. Iron ore and other mineral
indication are included in this IP anomaly zone and other parameter is
needed in order to separate magnetite with the other mineral or rock. Due to
no indication of high chargeability value then there is no IP anomaly and
interpreted that there is no mineralisation occurred in the remaining location
(30%).

4.11 Section 2D Modelling Results


IP anomaly will be obtained as the combination result from resistivity,
chargeability and total magnetic intensity and will be presented according to
each line. Most of the line shows the of IP anomaly which indicated from the
with relatively high/medium and high resistivity value (> 1000 Ohm-m) and
high chargeability value (> 100 msec). By combining resistivity and
chargeability section IP anomaly can be obtained, and the anomaly can be
found in Line_21S to line_43S from southern area and line_21U to line_49U.
Potential zone can be seen in 2D section from figure 5 while IP anomaly and
iron ore potential zone sketch in figure 3. Magnetite potential zone can be
obtained by combining/overlaying the magnetic section (assumed that the
magnetic data is correct). And from that combination only few IP lines shown
the magnetite zone.
 For the southern location, magnetite indication only found in the line as
follows: line_27S, 29S, 31S, 33S, 35S, 37S and line_39S.
 For the northern location, magnetite indication only found in the line as
follows: line_23U, 25U, 27U, 31U, 33U, 35U, 37U and line_39U.
2D section is very important in finding the indication of iron ore and the
other mineral potential. Iron ore potential can be indicated from the
intersection/overlaying of IP anomaly and magnetic anomaly. And the other
mineral potential possibility like gold (Au) and or copper (Cu) can be
obtained from the intersection of high chargeability value (> 100 msec) with
low resistivity value (< 1000 Ohm-m).

4.12 Estimation Iron Ore Resources


Induced Polarization (IP) 3D modeling can be done directly from 2D
resistivity modeling data and overlaid with 2D chargeability section to form
block model of the prospect area. The volume of the block then can be
obtained (Fig. 4.14 and 4.15).
From Block Model Calculation, resume potential iron ore volume near to
8.031.250 m3. Gross volume calculation of the iron ore from anomaly IP zone
is: Gross volume (T) = volume based on the IP anomaly (m3) x density (t/m3) x
correction factor (%) = 8,031,250 m3 x 4.6 t/m3 x 50%
Gross volume (T) = 18,471,875 Tonnage ≈18.472.000 Tonnage.
Total Areas potential is 30,99 Hectare, divide into two zone Indicated and
inferred resources area include and exclude consession Area. Indicated and
inferred resources area within consession area is ±13.04 ha (3.32 ha indicated
and 9.72 ha inferred) while the total coverage of the outside consession area
is 17.95 ha (4.73 ha indicated and 13.22 ha inferred). With the iron ore
thickness assumption based on IP result and resistivity is ±25,916 m then the
assumption volume is:
Ore resources volume = coverage area (ha) x thickness (m) x density
(T/m3) x correction factor (%)
Inside IUP:
- Indicated resources = 3,32 Ha x 25.916 m x 4,6 x 50% = 1.978.946 Ton
≈ 1.979.000 Ton
- Inferred resources = 9,72 Ha x 25.916 m x 4,6 x 50% = 5.793.781 Ton
≈5.794.000 Ton
 Outside IUP:
- Indicated resources = 4,73 Ha x 25.916 m x 4,6 x 50% = 2.819.402 Ton
≈2.819.000 Ton
- Inferred resources = 13.22 Ha x 25.916 m x 4,6 x 50% = 7.880.019
Ton ≈7.880.000 Ton

CHAPTER 5
RESUME AND RECOMMENDATION

5.1. Resume
From the description and details of IP results then can be concluded as follows:
 From the IP result shows that the survey area is dominated by the high
resistivity value (> 2000 Ohm-m) and can be interpreted as the indication
of dense rock such as granite which is the basement rock beside the
volcanic rock and soil.
 Presumably the iron ore potential zone is located between the contact
zone of granite with the overlying volcanic rock. And is controlled by
structural zone in the form of fault which has direction east - west or
northwest - southeast fault.
 Result of resources calculation volume (assumption) from block model is
8.031.250 m³ x 4,6 x 50% (faktor koreksi) = 18.471.875 Ton ≈18.472.000
Tonnage. With total areas potential is 30,99 Hectare, divide into two zone
Indicated and inferred resources area include and exclude consession
Area. Indicated and inferred resources area within consession area is
±13.04 ha (3.32 ha indicated and 9.72 ha inferred) while the total
coverage of the outside consession area is 17.95 ha (4.73 ha indicated
and 13.22 ha inferred). With the iron ore thickness assumption based on
IP result and resistivity is ±25,916 m then the assumption volume is:
Ore resources volume = coverage area (ha) x thickness (m) x density
(T/m3) x correction factor (%)
Inside IUP :
- Indicated resources = 3,32 Ha x 25.916 m x 4,6 x 50% = 1.978.946
Ton ≈ 1.979.000 Tonnage
- Inferred resources = 9,72 Ha x 25.916 m x 4,6 x 50% = 5.793.781
Ton ≈5.794.000 Tonnage

Bukit Pasir Areas, Simpang Sepayu District., Katapang, West Kalimantan - June 2015
Resume and Recommendation

Outside IUP :
- Indicated resources = 4,73 Ha x 25.916 m x 4,6 x 50% = 2.819.402
Ton ≈2.819.000 Tonnage
 Inferred resources = 13.22 Ha x 25.916 m x 4,6 x 50% = 7.880.019 Ton
≈7.880.000 Tonnage
 The resources volume number is only an assumption and need to be
proven by drilling program to confirm the occurrence and delineate the
ore body dimension.

5.2. Recommendation
 To prove all those prediction from survey result, should been doing
drilling activity to comfirm and make sure that all.
 Drilling program can be inclined or vertical and should be placed in the
combination zone which has IP and magnetic anomaly and or IP anomaly
only, the rock contact zone and fault area which has a role as control.
Drilling program is not limited for exploration purpose but also for
geotechnical assessment if the area is feasible and viable for mining.
 Some of the lines and IP measurement point can be considered for
drilling location. Those line are: line_23U point 250, line_25U point 230,
line_35U point 100 ,line_37U point 100, line_27U point 170, line 31U
point 180, line_33U point 250, line_29U point 200 dan line_27S point 430.
In determining drilling location it is recommended using 2D section.
 Considering the geological condition of survey area is favourable for the
other mineralisation, an additional exploration program for precious and
base metal can be conducted to expand the opportunity.
