Once the data are acquired either in the Lab or in the field for investigation of the natural resources, the data are presented in the form of profiles in the case of resistivity/Induced Polarization (IP) profiling or in the form of curves for comparison with the available Master curves. It is, however, possible to plot both sounding and profiling data obtained over a traverse on a single depth section where the depth to the top of the target is indicated, which is called pseudo-section.. It is named so to emphasize the fact that these are only apparent values in terms of magnitude and location. These pseudo-sections are carefully interpreted by different methods such as inversion techniques to get the true resistivity and IP effect. All that one has to do is to prepare the modified pseudo-sections with two or more arrays possible corroboration along a traverse, in the middle of anomalous zone. If the positions of the maximum anomaly contour in the pseudo- sections with the arrays, by and large, agree with each other than one can recommend a borehole passing through such positions to strike the top of the target.
