Abstract

This paper demonstrates the channels and methods for location prognosis of concealed ore deposits (bodies) in the deep-seated and surrounding districts of productive mines in accordance with their special features. The system frame map is built, from quick exploration in the field to the rapid building of a model indoors. The main research points of location prognosis are also discussed in the paper, which include: 1) integrating the location with the surrounding geological areas, microscopic with macroscopic; 2) analyzing and synthesizing all geological information of different levels, depths and aspects; 3) laying stress on mineralization series; 4) paying attention to the study of the distribution law of ore bodies; 5) introducing the theory of nonlinear dynamics of ore forming processes to ordinary static prognosis; 6) the necessity of the geophysical method in recovering information of concealed ore bodies; 7) the combination of all kinds of geology, geophysics, geochemistry and remote -sensing methods.
