Spontaneous Frequency Polarisation (SFP) method application for mapping mineral deposits in the metamorphic sedimentary formations in the Bidzar area (North-Cameroon)

Abstract

The North Cameroon (Central Africa) region rests on Precambrian metamorphic rocks dating. In the areas covered by metamorphic sedimentary formations, this region conceals a significant mineral potential. The geological and geochemical works carried out in the study area permitted to analyze the mineralogy of the formations in place and to map the formations with good potential in useful minerals. This work, using the hammer prospecting technique, mapped the marble identified as the local commodity. A geophysical study using the ElectroTelluric or Spontaneous Frequency Polarization (SFP) method was carried out to evaluate the SCIREA Journal of Geosciences http://www.scirea.org/journal/Geosciences
