Abstract
By analyzing the characters of the mainstream commercial magnetotelluric inversion softwares in dealing with audio magnetotelluric data, a dynamic model-making method for inversion has been developed based on the observed AMT data. This method focusing on model domain can adjust mesh’s scale and model’s dimension depending on the field data just with a few parameters. By this, it is convenient to study the geo-electrical anomalies variations of different scale or dimensional models. Applying such model-making technique into the known hardrock geological setting, it is easy to obtain a new geo-electrical model which agrees with the resistivity curves of core samples better than before. It is demonstrated that this can increase the recognition of the resistivity contrast and deserves studying further.
Highlights
Audio magnetotelluric method (AMT), with simple logistics and no transmitter required, became a key geophysical method accompanying with more kinds of commercial AMT instruments produced in the markets since the 1990s (Yao, 2012) [1]

When studying the sand body anomaly among the weak resistivity contrast in uranium exploring by AMT data, an inversion process was outlined using different scale models with checking anomalies [8]
Summary
Audio magnetotelluric method (AMT), with simple logistics and no transmitter required, became a key geophysical method accompanying with more kinds of commercial AMT instruments produced in the markets since the 1990s (Yao, 2012) [1]. The hardware and software progress made AMT method to be applied to many fields, such as base metals [5] [6], uranium exploration [7] and so on. When studying the sand body anomaly among the weak resistivity contrast in uranium exploring by AMT data, an inversion process was outlined using different scale models with checking anomalies [8]. To meet such situations, a simple method of making different scale or dimensional model is required. The paper gives a way of making such models conveniently
