ABSTRACT
To look for minerals, the research was focused on Uniben and its surroundings' subsoil. This study criticized the Wenner-Schlumberger electrode arrangement at every turn. There were two covered profiles, 50 meters away from one another. The coverage of the measurements must also be in 2-D for a clear 2-D image of the subsurface to be obtained. RES2DINV Inverse for Windows version 4.01 (KIGAM 2001) was used to invert the data from each 2-D survey line separately at first to produce 2-D cross-sections. In the subsurface, a pseudo section depicts a qualitative two-dimensional resistivity fluctuation with depth.
Iterative smoothness-constrained least square inversion was used to develop models for the inverted resistivity sections or structures, which were then analyzed to produce the underlying geology properties.
The following minerals were identified in the Uniben community through the use of the 2-Dimensional Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) method: dry sand, Laterite soil, ferruginous sandstone, shale, and sand-clay alluvium. Yet, for both profiles in the research area, these minerals/materials fell within the resistivity range of 1450 m to 3251 m.
