N2  - In electromagnetic (EM) exploration for conductive targets, measurements of the magnetic component or its time derivative have received more theoretical attention and practical application than have measurements of the electric component. However, the electric component can be shown to be particularly useful in the search for resistive zones not usually detected by the magnetic component. Normalized measurements of the surface voltage differences caused by the constant current induced at late time by the UTEM transmitter are called 'Inductive Source Resistivity' or ISR measurements.Data collected on a grid located just south of the Temora gold mine in N.S.W. clearly show the effectiveness of the ISR technique in detecting a resistive zone of silicification located unconformably under 10S of conductive cover. Due to the relatively slow falloff of the electric field from an inductive source, the technique is ideal for the rapid exploration of large areas.
