The key to exploration of steeply-dipping concealed metal deposits

In general the successful rate of exploration drilling at steep-dipping metal deposits is relatively low. Finding out the reason for no-ore occurrence drilling thus enhancing the percentage of ore-occurrence drill holes is the key to the exploration of such metal deposits. This paper addresses this issue by analyzing a case of exploration on a hidden copper deposit with steep dip. The analysis builds on the physical characteristics of the rock and ore, integrated geophysical prospecting of induced-polarization (IP) middle ladder and IP sounding and drilling verification. Results reveal that the inversion of the ore body dipping direction and the heterogeneity of mineralization are two primary factors responsible for the failure of exploration drilling. It is recommended to select suitable electrical, magnetic, gravity and other geophysical scanning and sounding methods to perform surveys in the early stage of exploration under the premise of determining the physical characteristics of deep metal ore bodies as constraints for the interpretation of geophysical data. The preliminary exploration of metal ore mainly judges whether the mineralization of the ore body is uniform or not based on whether there is mineralization in nearby boreholes or whether there is a discontinuity in deep ore-induced anomalies. Meanwhile according to the location of the ore-induced anomalies on geophysical prospecting profiles or ore body dipping features in nearby drilling holes and geophysical prospecting in wells, the judgement is made whether the tendency of the ore body is reversed. In addition, in order to increase the possibility of ore occurrence in drilling holes in steeply inclined concealed metal mines, it is recommended to construct more drilling holes with smaller inclination angles.
