2-D survey of a part of Ugbogiobo community and its environs has been carried out successfully and this research has helped in providing information about the subsurface of the study area. This information is of utmost importance as it gives the necessary constituents of the profile of the study area. The subsurface of a study area is related to various geological parameters such as mineral and fluid content, porosity and degree of water saturation in the rock. Major resistivity structures were delineated in both profile which is seen to be generally characterized by moderate resistivity values, at the top layers we can inferred from the low resistivity that is characterize by Clayey and Alluvium soil having a resistivity range between 200 Ωm– 800 Ωm profile 7 and 8 respectively. The major mineral occurrence in profile 7 and 8 are majorly compose of sedimentary Rocks ranging from Limestone, Shale and Sandstone with a resistivity range for Limestone between 2000 Ωm– 3000 Ωm, Shale with a resistivity range 3200 Ωm– 4000 Ωm Sandstone between resistivity range 4000 Ωm– 5000 Ωm, it will be noticed from the profiled line that all inferred mineral types fall between a depth of 2 m to 39 m. which form the lithological mineral occurrence of the both profiles. The development of two dimensional inversion resistivity algorithms has aided the processing and interpretation of complex data. Due to the inferred rock types and mineral occurences (Alluvium, Clayey soil, limestone, sandstone, and clay) gotten from the lithological interpretation of the 2-D data inversion, it can be concluded that the lithology of the study area is good for engineering purpose and construction work.
