Abstract

The effects of induced polarization (IP) in the ore bodies and host rocks in the frequencies above 1 000 000 Hz were considered. The phase response of the complex resistivity (CR) system equipment “Geozond” have been explored instrumentally. The reliability of high-frequency IP measurements was confirmed by independent verification by mining activities. The results confirm the presence of IP effects in the ore bodies and host rocks. They suggest the necessity to account for IP effects in the interpretation of electromagnetic data, in particular, in induction logging data. The purpose of mathematical computer modeling in this work was to study the propagation of a high frequency electromagnetic field from a linear current source in a material medium by solving Maxwell's equations using finite-difference approximations (iterations) in the time domain. The measurement results were processed according to a well-known scheme, using the method of iterative selection in automatic mode. This allows to use this method for end-to-end calculation of electromagnetic fields in complex three-dimensional inhomogeneous structures.
