摘要: A geoelectrical survey using the electrical resistivity method was carried out in Mayo Boki (Northern Cameroon), to investigate subsurface layering and evaluation of limestone characteristics. In addition geological data collection, three vertical soundings one profile were measured. Joint interpretation DC allows us obtain reliable 1D models distribution. The field RES2DINV software, which converts apparent as a function electrode spacing true depth two dimensions. results obtained from showed that: 1) layer put evidence at 4 m thickness varies 13 44 m; 2) is ranged 125 2410 ohm.m; 3) An area probable deposit with interesting thicknesses have been identified. These facts are useful for future mining exploration drilling map definition operations. geologic section nearby location termed delineated its total found be 57 m, corroborates lithologs boreholes area. correlation geoelectric has led envisage pursuing activities. Based on characteristics extracted this investigation, operations initiated order define resource over study, will certainly enables built exploitation project prefeasibility document.
