Аnnotation: The article presents the methodology and results of electromagnetic soundings of the Meyer thrust zone of Northern Ladoga region, which separates volcano-terrigenous Paleoproterozoic cover complexes of different metamorphism intensity. Obtained in the course of detailed geological mapping ideas about the structural and material features of the studied fold-thrust forms of this zone were supplemented by depth characteristics and visualization of the latter in the “Paleoproterozoic cover–Archean basement” system. Thanks to the adequate choice of the audio-magnetotelluric sounding method as a basic one in combi-nation with magnetic survey, meaningful geoelectric images of the fold-thrust structures down to a depth of 1 km were identified. Elements of both “thick-skinned” and “thin-skinned” tectonics, with joint and autonomous deformations of basement and cover complexes, were traced in the constructed electrical conductivity sections. A new dome-shaped structure of the Archean basement, inscribed in the linear series of small protrusions of the Archean basement of the Sortavala Group, was distinguished.
