SENSOR DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ELECTRICAL EXPLORATION OF MINERAL DEPOSITS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01V3/15 G01V3/02 E21C35/00 E21C47/00 

FIELD: physics; geophysics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to geophysics and can be used for exploration of mineral deposits in a geologic environment. The invention relates to a sensor device and a method for geoelectric survey of a location, stratigraphic arrangement and range of mineral deposits and contiguous rocks delineating said deposits. The disclosed sensor device has a sensor head (51), an end surface which forms a sensor measurement surface (53) and at least one electrode. According to the invention, the sensor head (51) can be brought into contact with the surface of the geologic environment, and a centre electrode (54) and a plurality of external electrodes (55), arranged in a geometrically uniform manner around the centre electrode (54), are placed on the sensor measurement surface (53). The centre electrode (54) and external electrodes (55) are electroconductive and electrically insulated from each other.

EFFECT: high accuracy of survey data of a deposit directly in the development process thereof.
