Abstract

The character of the variation of the natural electric field during a one year period in the northwest part of the Rudnyy Altay is discussed, and the results of the observations are reported. The electric field varies with changes in moisture, structure, and texture of the rocks, and a correlation is noted between field variation and rock type. The variations of potential in such fields may reach 50 my - 100 mv. In some places the observed variations are correlated with hydrothermally altered rocks; therefore, such phenomena may serve as an indirect method in prospecting for sulfide ores. A.J. Shneiderov
