Abstract: Because of thespecial terrain and geomorphic characteristics, the predecessors did not achieve good effect in Qimantage area, East Kunlun by using the IP measurements. Thus, the effective experiment of targeted IP measurements methods has been carried out, and the practical application results have been obtained. Combined with the predecessors' achievements of IP measurements in this area in recent years, it's believed that the power supply effect and grounding conditions can be improved by increasing the transmitter power, choosing proper parameters and handing well current electrodes and voltage electrodes.And then, the problem of poor measurement result has been solved, and the IP measurement has been proved as an effective geophysical prospecting method in this area.Some common problems of IP measurement have been summed up, and the related solving methods have been advanced in this paper, which can be used as a reference for using the IP methods in the investigation of geology and mineral resources in Qimantage area of east Kunlun.
