Topographic map of the study area. a The locations of the MT measurement sites are indicated with black circles; filled circles are used in this study. Each profile is marked with a thick grey line (L2000; L4000; L6000). Specific site names are identified (see Fig. 4). Faults, including the South Hangai fault system, are marked (solid blue lines; Walker et al. 2007; Styron et al. 2018). The approximate location of the Bayankhongor Ophiolite Belt is shown (red dashed lines; Osozawa et al. 2008; Badarch et al. 2002). The location of the geological transect of Osozawa et al. (2008), congruent with L4000, is marked in pink (see Fig. 2). This region contains many mineralized zones, which constitute the Bayankhongor Metal Belt, that contain significant occurrences of copper and gold, identified with green and yellow hexagons, respectively (Mineral Resources Authority of Mongolia 2017; Dejidmaa and Badarch, 1999). Villages are labeled for reference (white boxes; Gu: Gurvanbulag; Bb: Bayanbulag; Ja: Jargalant; Bu: Bumbugur; Er: Erdenestsogt; Ba: Bayankhongor; Ji: Jinst). b The survey area in a regional context. c Distribution of recent seismicity (2012 to 2014; data from Dashdondog et al. 2020)
