description An electrical resistivity method (ERM) is a non-destructive test in subsurface exploration that would able to safe cost of project. However, an improvement is needed as there are some difficulties in the interpretation of earth material using resistivity chart due to overlapping values and not many researches were conducted to revise the earth minerals resistivity value based on the variable in Archies’ Law. The objectives were to characterize physical properties and mineral compounds, identify the relationship of ERV with water content and CEC, and identify the effect of finegrained artificial minerals’ mixed proportion towards ERV and CEC value. The finegrain artificial mineral used were kaolinite, montmorillonite, illite, quartz, mica, and feldspar, passing 0.063 mm sieve, tested its basic soil index properties via British Standard 1377 and tested mineral compound with X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The samples were prepared in four (4) type of mixtures: individual minerals, major mineral, minor mineral, and major and minor mineral.
