Various geochemical and geophysical methods are used to study the processes occurring in tailing dumps. One of the most promising methods is considered to be daily monitoring. The question of what minimum distance between the electrodes can be used to conduct research for the most detailed detection of geophysical anomalies, but at the same time to minimize the impact of ground transition resistivity, is relevant. This paper presents the result of a laboratory experiment, the purpose of which was to check what effect the change in the transition resistivity due to changes in the depth of the electrode grounding has on the measured resistance and in which case this effect can be ignored. The electric exploration station Skala 48 was used for the measurements. Based on the results of the experiment, a one-dimensional geoelectric model is constructed for different ground depths and the dependence of the apparent resistance on the ground depth at different distance between the electrodes is shown. It is revealed that the optimal ratio of the depth of grounding of the electrode to the installation step is 1:3.
