[0002] As a typical exogenous deposit, the ion-adsorption rare earth ore is located in the weathering crust, and weathering is crucial to the formation of this type of deposit. Generally speaking, the stronger the weathering, the thicker the weathering crust, the higher the grade of the deposit, and the more likely it is to form an ion-adsorption rare earth deposit. Therefore, the thickness of the weathering crust is a key factor in the exploration of ion-adsorption rare earth deposits.

[0003] Topographic factors significantly control the formation and preservation of weathering crusts. The greater the slope and the deeper the cutting, the faster the erosion rate of the weathering crust, which makes the thickness of the weathering crust smaller, which is not conducive to the formation of ion-adsorption rare earth deposits. Therefore, evaluating the preservation of the weathering crust, especially the evaluation of the key indicator of weathering crust thickness, is crucial for ion-adsorption rare earth prospecting.

[0004] At present, in order to obtain the thickness of the weathering crust, the thickness of the weathering crust is mainly obtained indirectly or directly by field geological surveys and construction drilling projects.

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] The application of digital elevation model (DEM) in basic geomorphological analysis has become increasingly mature. Geomorphological element analysis based on DEM can quickly and accurately extract topographic and geomorphological features, and then evaluate the development of weathering crust and predict the thickness of weathering crust, which can greatly reduce the cost of rare earth mineral exploration and improve exploration efficiency. Therefore, this application can economically and efficiently predict the thickness of weathering crust of ion adsorption type rare earth deposits by simulating digital elevation data, and can quickly locate areas with thick weathering crust in prospecting and exploration, which is conducive to the layout of subsequent exploration work and thus improves the efficiency of prospecting and exploration.

[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a method for predicting the thickness of the weathering crust of an ion adsorption type rare earth deposit is provided, the method comprising:

[0038] Step 100: Acquire simulated digital elevation data of the target ion adsorption type rare earth deposit study area.

[0039] Step 200: Calculate terrain factor data based on simulated digital elevation data.

[0040] Calculating terrain and geomorphic factor data according to simulated digital elevation data, specifically including: calculating terrain and geomorphic factor data according to simulated digital elevation data based on GIS spatial processing technology.

[0041] The topographic and geomorphic factor data include: elevation, elevation variation coefficient, surface cutting depth, slope, and terrain undulation.

[0042] The elevation variation coefficient is obtained by dividing the standard deviation of the elevation data by the average value of the elevation data; the surface cutting depth is obtained by dividing the average value of the elevation data by the minimum value of the elevation data.

[0043] The slope is the percentage of the quotient of the elevation data difference and the horizontal distance in the study area; the terrain undulation is obtained by subtracting the maximum value of the elevation data from the minimum value of the elevation data.

[0044] Step 300: Input the topographic and geomorphic factor data into the weathering crust thickness prediction model to obtain the predicted weathering crust thickness. The predicted weathering crust thickness is used for prospecting and exploration positioning to optimize the exploration layout; the weathering crust thickness prediction model is obtained by constructing a multivariate linear regression equation based on the topographic and geomorphic factor data of the study area with known weathering crust thickness.

[0045] The corresponding expression of the weathering crust thickness prediction model is:

[0046]

[0047] Among them, H is the thickness of the weathering crust; CVE is the coefficient of elevation variation; DSD is the surface cutting depth; S is the slope; TP is the terrain undulation; Elev is the elevation.

[0048] In practical applications, the design ideas of the method mentioned in this application are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0049] S1. Obtain simulated digital elevation data of the study area and statistically analyze topographic and geomorphic factor data.

[0050] S2. Collect rare earth exploration data and count the construction depth of drilling projects in the weathering crust. Rare earth exploration data comes from ion adsorption rare earth deposits with granite as the mineralization parent rock. The drilling project in the weathering crust should be an effective project to expose the weathering crust. That is, the weathering crust thickness data is the construction depth of the drilling project to expose the weathering crust.

[0051] S3. Construct a weathering crust thickness prediction model based on topographic and geomorphic factor data and drilling project depth.

[0052] S4. Predict the thickness of the weathering crust based on the established weathering crust thickness prediction model.

[0053] The weathering crust thickness prediction model was constructed based on the drilling engineering construction depth and topographic and geomorphic factor data. The specific equation establishment method is as follows.

[0054] (1) Obtain the topographic and geomorphic factor data of the drilling project. The topographic and geomorphic factor data mainly include elevation, elevation variation coefficient, surface cutting depth, slope, and terrain undulation.

[0055] (2) Obtain the latitude and longitude coordinates and construction depth data of the drilling project, which represents the weathering crust thickness data.

[0056] (3) Taking the weathering crust thickness data as the dependent variable and the topographic factor data as the independent variable, the weathering crust thickness prediction equation is established. The corresponding expression is as follows:

[0057] H=-1415.603*CVE+1.444*DSD-0.061*S+5.969*TP+0.139*Elev-51.112.

[0058] This application inputs the topographic factors obtained by simulating digital elevation data into the prediction equation, predicts the thickness of the weathering crust, quickly locates the areas with thick weathering crust, replaces part of the field geological survey work, and assists in the exploration of rare earth deposits, thereby achieving the purpose of improving exploration efficiency and reducing exploration costs. Compared with the existing methods based on field route surveys and drilling engineering construction, this method has the advantages of low data acquisition cost, short time cycle, and low safety risk.

[0059] Taking a mine in a certain area as an example, the lithology is medium-fine (coarse) grained biotite granite. After field geological survey and drilling engineering verification, it was determined to be an ion adsorption type rare earth deposit.

[0060] S1. Obtain the simulated digital elevation data of the study area of ​​the mine and collect statistics on topographic and geomorphic factor data.

[0061] Among them, the simulated digital elevation data is obtained using the digital elevation model (DEM), which is the ASTER GDEM 30M resolution digital elevation data. Based on the spatial processing technology of the geographic information system (GIS), the simulated digital elevation data is used to calculate the topographic and geomorphic factor data. The topographic and geomorphic factor data mainly include five types: elevation, elevation variation coefficient, surface cutting depth, slope, and terrain undulation. The calculation method of topographic and geomorphic factor data is as follows:

[0062] Elevation: This data is extracted directly from the simulated digital elevation data.

[0063] The coefficient of variation of elevation is the standard deviation of elevation data / average elevation within the study area.

[0064] The surface cutting depth is the average value of the elevation data minus the minimum value of the elevation data within the study area.

[0065] The slope is the difference in elevation data within the study area / horizontal distance)*100%.

[0066] Terrain undulation = maximum value of elevation data - minimum value of elevation data.

[0067] S2. Collect rare earth exploration data and count the construction depth of drilling projects in the weathering crust.

[0068] The weathering crust depth is the drilling engineering construction depth in the "XX Single Engineering Calculation Table". The geological exploration data of this embodiment is derived from the "XX Single Engineering Calculation Table" in the "XX Rare Earth Mine Exploration in XX County, XX Province" report.

[0069] S3. Construct a weathering crust thickness prediction model based on topographic and geomorphic factor data and drilling project construction depth.

[0070] The multiple linear regression equation of the weathering crust thickness prediction model is constructed. The specific method is as follows:

[0071] (1) Obtain the topographic and geomorphic factor data of the drilling project. The topographic and geomorphic factors mainly include elevation, elevation variation coefficient, surface cutting depth, slope, and terrain undulation.

[0072] (2) Obtain the latitude and longitude coordinates and construction depth data of the drilling project. The construction depth represents the weathering crust thickness data.

[0073] (3) Taking the weathering crust thickness data as the dependent variable and the topographic factors data as the independent variables, the weathering crust thickness prediction equation is established. The prediction equation is as follows:

[0074] H=-1415.603*CVE+1.444*DSD-0.061*S+5.969*TP+0.139*Elev-51.112.

[0075] Among them, H is the depth of weathering crust, CVE is the coefficient of elevation variation, DSD is the surface cutting depth, S is the slope, TP is the terrain undulation, and Elev is the elevation.

[0076] S4. Predict the thickness of the weathering crust based on the established prediction model.

[0077] The topographic and geomorphic factor data of the study area are brought into the prediction equation to obtain the predicted weathering crust thickness. The present application example compares the weathering crust depth verified by 40 drilling projects with the weathering crust depth predicted by the model to verify the reliability of the model. The schematic diagram of the verification result is shown in Figure 3 ,The verification results are shown in Table 1.
