摘要：

Iron ore has very high potential to be explored in Malaysia. For this study, 2-D resistivity and induced polarization method are used. 2-D resistivity method is just a guide in order to identify the iron ore bodies whereas induced polarization method is used to differentiate well between ground water and iron ore deposits beneath ground. A total of six survey lines with total length of 2.3 km conducted for the study which divided into 3 different lots, each lot consist of 2 survey lines. Pole-dipole array is used with 5 m electrode spacing. The results show that area is underlain by a thick alluvium with chargeability value of 0.1-3 msec which makes this area has iron ore prospect. The thickness of alluvium beneath the ground surface is up to 130 m and the bedrock for this area lies at 50-130 m with chargeability >5 msec. The area has high potential for iron ore mining and dominated with alluvium with chargeability rate of <3 msec. © 2012 ejge.
