The equipment used in this campaign is a resistivity-meter ECA 540, this resistivity-meter is composed of two identical selective measuring outlets, associated to an acquisition and calculation system that uses a micro-pro- cessor. The data sets were collected into two perpendicular directions (TE and TM).

Data acquisition is based on the magnetotelluric method principle [10] which mainly measures the apparent resistivity of physical environments through its fundamental relationship:

In this work, measured impedance tensor will be obtained starting from Simms formula [11] , Schmucker- Kukes formula [12] permits to supplement the complex characterization.

The confidence interval of impedance tensor will be estimated in a robust way by Jackknife variance estimation [2] [13] .

The resulting impedance tensor is given by: and the Caldwell complex phase tensor will be express by [4] [14] [15] :

Dimensional analysis parameters can be express by:

If the phase tensor is symmetric (β = 0) the principal values of the tensor are equal to its Eigen values. This situation occurs where the regional conductivity distribution is mirror symmetric, e.g. where the regional conductivity distribution is 1D or 2D. Where Φ is symmetric and has equal principal values, such as is the case if the conductivity distribution is uniform or 1D, the electric field will be linearly polarized if the magnetic field is linearly polarized. In the 2D case, the principal values will usually be distinct (i.e.) and there will be two directions for which a linearly polarized magnetic field will give rise to a linearly polarized electric field. The 2D Impedance tensor will be derived from Groom and Bailey factorization [5] .

・ Profile “A”

According to this profile, values of were obtained in all stations in the area (500 m before) except at the station “A2” and “A3”. Low values of at high depth (2.5 km) is obtained at the stations “A4”, “A5” and “A6” foreseeing the presence of superficial and deep 3D structures in these stations, and 3D superficial structure’s for the rest (Figure 3) [15] .

These results are in accordance with the existing geological data where a superficial limestone deposit equivalent to 3D structures has been highlighted [1] .

Superficial variations (100 m) of were obtained on “A2”, before being zero, assuming the presence of surface 2D structures and deep 1D structures (Figure 4).

At “A3”, where on surface, globally, low values of is observed and suggest the presence of 2D structures (Figure 5).

This fault system must be included in the network of faults characteristic of Mintom area where tectonic data have detected a concentration of lineaments in the Congo Craton.

・ Profile “B”

According to this profile, values close to zero were generally obtained at “B1”, “B2”, “B3”, “B5” and “B6” assuming the presence of 3D structures (Figure 6).

These results also highlight the presence of 3D structures comparable to limestone deposit observed from satellite radiography and data field.

At “B4” in which non-zero values of were recorded, high values of were observed in depths, foreseeing the presence of 2D structures on the surface, whereas in “B7” high values of were correlated with high values of foreshadowing the presence of 2D structures (Figure 7 and Figure 8).

2D structures assimilated to faults are observed at “B4” and “B7”, these are probably part of the network fault presumed lineaments.

・ Profile “C”

Along this profile, values are generally superficially close to zero before climbing sharply from 1.5 km, suggesting that superficial 3D structures are deposited on 1D or 2D structures (Figure 9).

The observation of these 3D structures assimilated to limestone along 8km confirms the relevance of this limestone deposit.

values are almost zero at “C3” and “C4” which confirm the presence of deep tabular structures overcome by 3D structures (Figure 10 and Figure 11).

Absence of 2D structures assimilated to faults shows that the network fault plans by lineaments is not locally distributed in the limestone deposit but is left in Mintom area.

The inversion data from Occam code was made following all stations simultaneously a profile for resistivity and phase following the TM and TE modes. For this, a graphic representation of resistivity profiles based on five-color range was emerged in the interpretation of data.

・ Profile “A”

A surface range (blue) of between 590 - 2100 W∙m is observable along this profile with a peak generally of around 100 m and picks up 150 m where superficial 3D structures have generally been highlighted except to “A2”.

A second line (green) between 2000 and 7700 W∙m is observable in the first all stations with deep roots to “A3” and a surface appearance at “A2”, it should be noted that 2D structures deep and superficial respectively, were highlighted in these stations (Figure 12).

The third range of resistivity (yellow) between 7700 and 28,000 W∙m is as the lower roof of the second range.

The fourth range of resistivity (red color), whose values are comprised between 28,000 and 100,000 W∙m shows no incrustation in the third range along the profile.

・ Profile “B”

To a range between 500 - 2100 W∙m is observed along this profile along a roof of around 150 meters deep in places, 3D structures can generally been highlighted by dimensional analysis except “B7”.

The second range between 2100 and 7700 W∙m is observable under the first except “B6” or it is surface with a deep root, deep 2D structures have been highlighted at this station (Figure 13).

The third range is between 7100 and 27,000 W×m and the fourth between 27,000 - 100,000 W∙m exhibit no incrustation in the third range along the profile.

・ Profile “C”

According to this profile a first range whose values vary between 470 - 1000 W∙m is observed at all stations or 3D structures were recorded.

A second range between 1000 - 2200 W∙m is observable without deep inlays but with near surface appearances “C2” and “C3” where 2D structures have been recorded in a few isolated depths.

The third and fourth resistivity ranges are respectively between 2200 - 4700 W∙m and between 4700 - 100,000 W∙m are stacked again without incrustation which bodes of the presence of 3D surface structure below which arise globally tabular structures (Figure 14).

After this plant cover the first range of resistivity ranges between 500 - 2000 W∙m broadly is comparable to consolidated calcareous structures as superficial 3D structures have been highlighted following all profiles. This result shows that the roof of the limestone structures varies between 100 and 150 m, an average of 100 meters is possible which confirms the deposit to 350 million∙m³ [1] .

After the foregoing operation of the resistivity curves in the three profiles and information from the exploitation of geological wells [1] , it is appropriate to interpret the above structures in a pattern of five layers. The first layer being the vegetation cover following geological well having a thickness ranging from 5 to 10 meters with a resistivity generally less than 500 W∙m.

The second range of resistivity globally between 2000 - 7000 W∙m with superficial and deep appearances and varying thickness is similar to Precambrian gneiss-granite structures characteristic of this study area [7] . Presence of 2D structures to the station “A2”, “A3”, “B6”, “C2” and “C3” correlates with deep or superficial appearance of granite-gneiss these structures show the presence of many faults a control intense tectonic activity having implemented a rugged terrain [6] .

The third range 7000 - 30,000 W∙m is similar to the structures of sin granites former tectonic characteristic thickness of the low area and when the granite base is represented by the fourth range between 30,000- 100,000 W∙m [6] .

In view of the above, it appears that 2D structures comparable to the superficial and deep faults highlighted part of the network of faults developed along the Dja river with a NNW-SSE direction over 60 km [1] .

The observation values of in this area reach peaks at certain depths with values generally rotating from zero to high values on the same station, it is the case according to Caldwell 2D/3D structures [4] . This suggests that the matrix of these structures is cemented thereby limiting the infiltration capacity of aquifers through this network of consolidated vulnerabilities. Similarly induced or any confined water table could be highlighted in the framework in the geoelectric models, which confirms the low capacity of water infiltrations through the limestone deposit [16] [17] .
