Successful Use of Geoelectrical Surveys in Area 3 of the Gol-e-Gohar Iron Ore Mine, Iran

Abstract: Geoelectrical surveys were conducted in Area 3 of the Gol-e-Gohar iron ore mine to provide geological and hydrogeological information. Open pit mining is currently underway in the northern part of the Area, and underground mining operations are planned for the southern section. Groundwater has already been encountered in the open pit mine. Twenty five resistivity soundings were first performed in the mine area; then, induced polarization (IP) measurements were carried out to remove ambiguities between clay and… Show more

“…Geophysical methods have been commonly used to assess the stability of slopes and embankments [27][28][29][30]. In particular, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has shown to be efficient in monitoring the variations of water saturation and detecting seepage zones for a variety of studies focused on hydrogeological issues (e.g., [31][32][33][34][35]). In order to obtain a better view of the processes leading to collapse, several experiments featured electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements.…”

“…To monitor or decontaminate affected sites, a complete knowledge of their geology and hydrogeology is necessary, as is knowledge of the behaviour of the pollutants and their means and routes of transport. Geophysical methods are very useful in providing this information (Guérin et al, 2004) and can be a cost effective alternative to expensive drilling and sampling programs in engineering, geological, and hydrogeological applications (Nasab et al, 2011). Mine wastes containing metallic sulphides commonly generate acid mine drainage (AMD).…”

“…Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is one of the most widely used geophysical methods that can successfully be employed for geotechnical characterization, monitoring earthen dams and embankments, landfill monitoring, groundwater exploration, and mapping of contaminant plumes (e.g., Arosio et al, 2017;Bièvre et al, 2018;Chambers et al, 2006;Dahlin, 2020;Hermans & Paepen, 2020;Hojat et al, 2019a;Karimi-Nasab et al, 2011;Loke et al, 2020;Moradipour et al, 2016;Müller et al, 2010;Pollock & Cirpka, 2012;Supper et al, 2014;Tresoldi et al, 2019;Whiteley et al, 2017). The ERT inversion is nonlinear and ill-posed, thus meaning that the solution to this problem is nonunique due to the limited resolution and noise contamination in the acquired data.…”
