Integrated method for enhancing exploration efficiency of skarn / porphyry concealed ore deposits

Abstract

Disclosed is an integrated method for improving exploration efficiency of skarn porphyry concealed ore deposits. The method begins with analysis of the mineralization system and regional geological survey data to identify potential concealed rock masses. Graded gravity measurements are then conducted to obtain anomaly data and delineate gravity anomaly areas corresponding to possible hidden rock bodies. High-precision magnetic surveying is further applied to identify magnetic anomaly zones, and combined interpretation of gravity and magnetic anomalies is used to determine favorable exploration targets. Electrical exploration methods are subsequently implemented within the favorable target areas to obtain deep induced polarization and resistivity data and delineate deep anomaly zones. Comprehensive integration and analysis of geological and geophysical data enable identification of the most promising exploration targets for drilling verification. The method forms a complete exploration workflow from geological analysis to precise verification, improving exploration accuracy, reducing costs, and enhancing deep mineral exploration capability.
