Scenario to Optimize Nickel Laterite Exploration using ERT with Gradien Configuration

Some researcher showed tramendeous result how ERT could identify zones or lateric deposits profile, more special in nickel laterite exploration. Mostly the results claim ERT data used as complementary technique from existing exploration data, which are drill core data or test pit. it means that ERT survey done after collecting drill core data or test pit. This ERT data then correlated with drill core data or test pit for geological interpretation on identify nickel laterite profile. In this research we go forward not only use ERT as complementary technigue but also the most important things used ERT become primary data in guidance for collecting drill core or test pit data. ERT images reveal nickel laterit deposit profile, which are limonite zone, saprolite zone and bed rock zone. This result will use as guidance to choice the position of drilling and how deep shoul be drilled. Configuration used in this researh was gradient configuratio
