The main tasks of geophysical prospecting techniques in search for golddeposits are detection of or--controlling fault zonesl fracture zones and altera-tion zones, delineation of ore-bearing rock bodies and strata, determination of weak mineralization zones and search for quartz veins and other ore-bearing veins. Such traditional techniques as gravity, magnetic method, induced polari zation method and extremely low frequency electromagentic method all prove to be effective. Tests show that piezoelectric method, radio method and seis mic induced polarization method are quite promising. In addition, the study of thermoelectricity and thermoluminescent characteristics of rocks and mine rals is a new subject which deserves due consideration and will play an acti ve role in prognosis of ore resources and evaluation of ore potential.
