Abstract

Since the resistivity and induced polarization methods have an important role for exploration of concealed lead and zinc, in order to assess the Lead and Zinc layers in an ancient mine, Karongah of Kohbanan, four geoelectrics profiles designed and surveyed in shlumberger array, so that these directions were almost vertical in compare with layers direction and they were include 14, 10, 8 and 9 sounding stations respectively. After geological assessment and one dimensional and two dimensional inverse modeling, we draw some pseudo sections that shows the conditions of underground layers and three low resistiviry and high chargability zones. Considering to the mining evidence these zones may be related to the lead and zinc mineralization within the study area.
