Efeitos do manto de intemperismo sobre anomalias eletromagnéticas provocadas por corpos tabulares inclinados: um estudo através de modelamento reduzido
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1981-09-18) SILVA, Lúcia Maria da Costa e; VERMA, Om Prakash; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2723609019309173
Electromagnetic methods have been extensively applied in the prospecting of sulphide bodies and other conducting materials. The interpretation of e. m. data is based on the results obtained either with reduced scale or analytical modelling. In most models, the host rocks, the overburden as well as the halo of disseminated sulphides are considered highly resistive although in nature they are often weakly conductive. Presence of a well-developed conducting overburden in tropical and sub-tropical regions and a saline rich crustal layer in semi-arid regions have been found to modify significantly the e. m. anomalies in practice. Therefore, the parameters of the target, determined on the basis of simple models where the presence of the conducting environment is neglected, are found to be in considerable error. The effects of the overburden on the e. m. anomalies of a dipping tabular ore body were studied with reduced scale models for varying response parameters of both the overburden and the orebody, and also for different depths and dips of the target. The overburden and the orebody were represented by metallic sheets of varying thickness in the scale model developed in accordance with the law of electromagnetic similitude. The results of these investigations show that the overburden affects the anomaly by causing: a) phase rotation; b) amplitude reduction; c) base level displacement; d) reversion of the quadrature; and e) appearance of an extra peak in the quadrature in the case of low dipping models. The last two effects complicate the quantification of the anomalies but, on the other hand, provide a qualitative indication of the response parameters of both the ore body and the overburden. The results were assembled in the form of Argand diagrams and, finally, an interpretation scheme is suggested for the e. m. field data on the basis of these diagrams.

Métodos geofísicos aplicados à prospecção de cobre na Serras de Carajás - Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1980-03-20) HOOKER, Enrique Campbell; SAUCK, William August; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6655455534234531
Through an agreement between the Federal University of Para and the Rio Doce Geologia e Mineração Company, a geophysical research was carried out in the area known as ALVO 1, MM1, Serra dos Carajás, south of Para, Brazil. The magnetic, electrical induced polarization and AFMAG methods were applied, to detect the distribution of copper in subsurface. This work was carried out both on a 9 km2 reconnaissance area (ALVO 1) and on a 0.63 km2 detail area (Corpo 2). The AFMAG method detected various conductors displaced from each other by possible faulting. The orientation of these conductors, coincides with the dominant strike of the body of schist which contains copper sulfide, associated with an iron formation. The close correlation they have with the magnetic anomaly, may imply that the AFMAG anomalies are caused, firstly by the iron formation and secondarily by the sulfide. The magnetic method detected strong anomaly over the iron formation. The displacement of the segment of the anomaly impleis faulting. This method is very important in the area due to the association of the sulfide zone with the iron formation. The electrical induced polarization/resistivity method detected anomalies with PFE, varying from 6 to 12% approximately. Several of these anomalies were confirmed by mechanical sounding and laboratory research (Rocha, 1979). It was verified that these anomalies were caused by a combined effect of the iron formation and the sulfide body. The geophysical research carried out at this pilot area turned out to be very important considering the fact that its results can be successfully extrapolated to a larger area with the same geological characteristics.

Métodos sísmicos de refração e eletromagnético aplicados ao estudo de um paleocanal da Ilha do Marajó, Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 1983-12-22) GUIMARÃES, Pedro Penido Duarte; BISCHOFF, Jürgen H.
Refraction seismic and electromagnetic methods have been applied in a experimental scale in the search for groundwater. The efficacy of both methods was verified with about 1.500 m of shallow refraction profiles for three-dimensional geometric delimitation of a paleo-channel in the natural grass land region of Marajó Island; and with an electromagnetic profile (Slingram technique) to detect lateral contacts of fresh and brackish water. The interpretation of seismic data was done using the time-intercept equations for n dipping layers, and the assistance of the geological control of two wells to circumvent problems due to non-detected layers. A low velocity (0,81 km/s) was obtained for the saturated silt-sand sediments filling the paleo-channel. Since the results lead into a velocity reversal in these sediments, the mapping of paleo-channels by refraction seismic is not advisable, unless using special field techniques (digital recording, up-hole survey, S-wave recording, simultaneous reflection,...). The electromagnetic data were analysed semi-quantitatively through a reduced model designed on the basis of apparent resistivities section. An Argand diagram, plotted with the laboratory data, aids in the determination of conductance in non-consolidated sediments similar to those found in Marajó. The use of electromagnetic methods for the lateral reconnaissance of fresh-brackish water zones is recommended since the high frequency (2640 Hz) quadrature component defines these areas with sufficient precision. The comparison between the results of both methods indicates that only a part of the paleo-channel can be considered an aquifer.
