Abstract

Alpha center theory which was first proposed by Stefanescu has been proved to be effective for the detection of the location of the conductive orebody. A numerical forward modeling was conducted to verify the effectiveness of this method. Field works were carried out along the three profiles in two different areas for the purpose of finding fractured zone which might be accompanied with the presence of the groundwater. And the results were modeled by alpha center method, which was later testified by wellproven 2-dimensional finite difference inversion scheme. Field data could be successfully modeled with this alpha center algorithm, especially for the smooth-varying resistivity models. For the abrupt change of the resistivity values, the alpha center coefficients have a tendency to be negative to simulate the steep resistivity gradients. This method is quite simple and easy for the future applications. The numerical calculation can be performed very quickly with the personal computers.
