“Three-Component” Digital Prospecting Method：A New Approach for Mineral Resources Quantitative Prediction and Assessment

“Three-component” method consists of three clase-connected aspects: geological anomaly,diversity of mineralization and mineral deposit spectrum. All these three concepts are not new separately, but it is a new approach to combine these three aspects in one single concept for quantitative mineral resources prediction and assessment and it is also the first time to conduct a more detailed study in each aspect. Investigation and clarification of geological anomalies, diversity of mineralization and spectrum of mineral deposits are realized by digitization and quantification of ore forming controlling factors, oreexisting symbols or marks, characteristics of mineralization and regulation of ore-genesis and laws of distribution. These procedures lead to construction of a “digital model“ for mineral resources prediction andassessment.     

结合实测光谱的ASTER TIR数据岩性划分与构造样式分析:以新疆阿克苏蓝片岩为例

常见造岩矿物的特征谱带位于热红外区域,因此热红外遥感在岩石地层划分与构造样式分析方面有巨大的应用潜力,并且精细岩石地层划分是构造样式分析的基础。新疆阿克苏蓝片岩被认为是目前世界范围内保存最好的前寒武纪蓝片岩之一。本文对该地质体中采集的不同类型岩石样品进行了室内热红外发射光谱测试,发现白云母石英片岩类残余辐射特征（restrahlen features,RF）位于波长8.55、9.16和9.60 μm处,绿泥绿帘片岩类RF位于波长9.60、10.50和11.66 μm处。按照ASTER TIR波段位置将样品的发射率光谱曲线重采样,利用ASTER TIR数据计算基性指数I_b和白云母指数I_m。依据I_b和I_m得到不同岩性段分布图,该图能反映蓝片岩地质体中不同基性程度岩石、后期侵入的基性岩墙群以及白云母石英片岩单元的空间分布。从岩性区域分布特征看,我们认为新疆阿克苏蓝片岩地质体平面构造样式表现为褶皱,其轴迹线为NE—SW向,这一结果与前人对其划分的单斜地层结构有较大的差异。另外,褶皱出现在地质体南部,说明其北部所受压力较南部小,与前人认识一致。研究结果体现了热红外遥感结合实测光谱可有效探测矿物岩石信息的优势,该方法可为相关研究提供参考。
