Application of electrical prospecting methods for technogenic bodies (stored wastes of the mining industry) studies: review

The world experience of using electrical exploration methods in the study technogenic bodies is considered, particular: determining zoning tailings, groundwater migration routes and stability dams. ongoing research demonstrates high efficiency combining geophysics, geochemistry, hydrology. On example mining dumps located on territory Kemerovo region Republic Tyva, achievements interdisciplinary team IPGG SB RAS are shown. use resistivity tomography magnetic prospecting combination with geochemical mapping gas survey made it possible to reveal internal structure tailings dumps, outline watered horizons, determine transport highly mineralized solutions groundwater. Obtained results became basis for creating a methodology comprehensive assessing danger bodies, developing minimizing their impact environment population settlements.
