Exploration of Quartz, Feldspar, and Mica Minerals Using Geophysical Resistivity, Self-Potential, and Natural Electrical Field Techniques

Abstract

The aim of the present study is examined by various modeling and self-potential (SP) techniques which are useful for the exploitation of shallow and deep deposits. In the present study area, 12 areas conducted the self-potential techniques. From that analysis, a v-shaped formation was formed, as may be the geological formation of an ore anomaly. The study area's highest millivolt values (30 to 50 mV) indicate the presence of quartz, feldspar, and negative values are associated with the mica group of minerals. The Nellore schist belt is majorly dominated by the schistose group of rocks. The schistose group of rocks has a density very less like 5 to 10 MV. This study would be helpful for various arenas, including exploration geologists and mineralogists.
