Most of the gold deposits in the Barberton Greenstone belt of South Africa are relatively small and in structurally complex geological areas.The mise-a-la-masse electrical technique, where a current electrode is earthed in a mineralised zone, was used on one of our exploration projects consisting of a sulphides/gold-bearing carbonaceous banded iron formation within a succession of mafic, ultramafic and sedimentary rocks. The technique was successful in delineating individual mineralised units within a broad lithological sequence. During the survey, electrical potential measurements were recorded on surface, in underground drives and in twenty five boreholes. Measurements were also repeated by earthing the mineralised zone in a number of boreholes. Major discontinuities were recognised within the ore zones and used to interpret geological structures. These were then used to define specific units for ore reserve calculations and the application of selected mining techniques.
