Application of controllable source acoustic-frequency magnetotelluric method (CSAMT) to prospecting in deep part of Northwest China

Rong Guo

Abstract

CSAMT is a magnetotelluric sounding technology on Cagniard resistivity and phase,which is arisen in middle 1980s of last century.Because of its deeper sounding,high horizontal resolution and strong anti-interfering ability,it has become an important guidance for deep part prospecting.An actual exploration in the periphery and deep part of some ore area in Norwest China has been operated by using GDP-16 magnetotelluric sounding system with its working frequency in the range of 1~4096Hz,which is made by ZONGE company of USA.The exploration has proved that CSAMT is an effective method for prospecting in deep part and periphery of ore area(mainly the Fe deposits).
