The ore prospecting prediction model for the Huili copper orefield in Sichuan Province, China

The prediction theory and methodology of ore prospecting were developed from an in-depth study of 129 typical deposits in China. It has been verified to be an effective method that is particularly suitable for the initial ore prospecting. In this method, the internal and external factors of metallogenesis are combined together to construct a geological model of prospecting prediction, which consists of metallogenic geological body, metallogenic structure, metallogenic structural plane and metallogenic characteristics. The Huili area is located in the western margin of the Yangtze Plate, where the regional metallogenic geological conditions are superior, and a series of unique iron-copper deposits were formed. In recent years, great breakthroughs and progress have been made in the deep and peripheral areas of the Huili copper orefield. Herein, we take the Huili copper orefield as a typical example to illustrate the specific application of this method in deep ore prospecting of hydrothermal deposits. The metallogenic geological body is the ore-hosting volcanic rocks (albitite in the Hekou Group), and the main metallogenic structure and structural planes are interfaces between basic (intermediate) volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks and the possible volcanic vent. Combined with the summary of metallogenic characteristics, we constructed a geological model for ore prospecting in the Huili copper orefield.

Geochemical Characteristics and Prospecting Prediction of Sediment in Songwang Area, Bobai County, Guangxi

The characteristics of strata, structures, magmatic rocks, lithology and mineralization in Dongtao mining area (Songwang area) of Bobai County, Guangxi were summarized. According to the geochemical anomalies of sediment in water system, and the main anomalies are explained and evaluated, combined with the geological characteristics of Dongtao and other mining areas, the prospecting prediction of favorable areas is carried out, and it is considered that there is a good prospect of prospecting.
