Exploration of Piezoelectric and Polymetallic Deposits in Rock Masses

Abstract

The paper describes a series of studies of electromagnetic radiation in rock masses conducted at the Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth, Russian Academy of Sciences. The linear and nonlinear mechanoelectric transformations of piezoelectric and polymetallic ore occurrences are considered, which were studied on rock masses and in laboratory conditions. The results of experimental geophysical exploration jointly with piezoelectric and radio-pulse methods at several mineral deposits are presented. Methodical aspects of interpreting electromagnetic radiation sources in a rock mass are described.
