A Near-Source Electromagnetic Method for Deep Ore Explorations

A near-source electromagnetic method known as the short-offset transient electromagnetic (SOTEM) method was proposed. Compared with the traditional far-source methods, the offset of the SOTEM method is greatly reduced, to only 0.3~2 times of the maximum depth. Therefore, the SOTEM can obtain the sig...

description A near-source electromagnetic method known as the short-offset transient electromagnetic (SOTEM) method was proposed. Compared with the traditional far-source methods, the offset of the SOTEM method is greatly reduced, to only 0.3~2 times of the maximum depth. Therefore, the SOTEM can obtain the signal with higher signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity. Application in the Xiaoshan Mine of Henan Province showed that the SOTEM method is an effective method for deep ore exploration, especially in mountainous areas.
