If it is determined that at least two of the target conditions are met, it is determined that the mineralization potential of the target area is greater than or equal to a preset level, and the target area is subjected to mineral exploration.

[0068] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0069] Figure 1 Flowchart of the mineral exploration method based on mineralization potential provided by the present application Figure One The method of the present embodiment comprises:

[0070] S101, obtaining multiple zircon samples in a target area.

[0071] Specifically, first, zircon samples are collected, for example, zircon samples from different locations are collected. Through analysis of the zircon samples, the mineralization potential of the target area is determined.

[0072] Optionally, the zircon samples are collected from a drill core, and the lithology is diorite, mainly including plagioclase, potassium feldspar, biotite, hornblende, quartz, etc., for example, the SiO2 content is 53% to 62%.

[0073] S102, extract feature information of the plurality of zircon samples, and determine whether the feature information of the plurality of zircon samples satisfies at least two of the target conditions; wherein the feature information comprises at least two of the following: trace element content, abnormal value of a target element, or oxygen fugacity;

[0074] Specifically, the feature information of each zircon sample is extracted, such as the trace element content of the zircon sample, the abnormal value of the target element, and the oxygen fugacity.

[0075] Because the feature information of the zircon samples in the target regions with different mineralization potentials is different, the mineralization potential of the target region where the zircon sample is located can be determined based on the different feature information.

[0076] It is determined whether each feature information satisfies the corresponding requirement in the target condition, such as whether the dispersion degree of the trace element content is greater than or equal to a preset degree, whether the change range of the abnormal value of the target element is greater than or equal to a preset range, and whether the number of zircon samples with oxygen fugacity greater than or equal to a preset threshold is greater than or equal to a preset number.

[0077] Optionally, the target element can include cerium and / or europium.

[0078] S103, if it is determined that at least two of the target conditions are satisfied, it is determined that the mineralization potential of the target region is greater than or equal to a preset level, and mineral exploration is performed on the target region.

[0079] Specifically, based on the determination result of S102, if it is determined that at least two of the target conditions are satisfied, it is determined that the mineralization potential of the target region is high, such as greater than or equal to a preset level, and mineral exploration is performed on the target region.

[0080] Optionally, if at least two of the target conditions are satisfied, it indicates that the mineralization potential of the target region is relatively good, such as the level of the mineralization potential is relatively high, greater than or equal to a preset level.

[0081] Optionally, if all of the target conditions are satisfied, it indicates that the mineralization potential of the target region is relatively good, such as the level of the mineralization potential belongs to a first level range.

[0082] If any two of the target conditions are satisfied, it indicates that the mineralization potential of the target region is good, such as the level of the mineralization potential belongs to a second level range. The level of the first level range is greater than the level of the second level range.

[0083] For example, if at least two conditions in the target condition are met, such as the number of zircon samples with oxygen fugacity greater than or equal to a preset threshold is greater than or equal to a preset number, the larger the number of zircon samples, the higher the grade of the ore-forming potential, such as the greater the dispersion degree of trace element content, the higher the grade of the ore-forming potential, and the greater the range of abnormal values of the target element, the higher the grade of the ore-forming potential.

[0084] Optionally, the greater the dispersion degree of trace element content, the greater the ore-forming potential, such as the higher the grade of the ore-forming potential.

[0085] Optionally, the greater the range of abnormal values of the target element, the greater the ore-forming potential, such as the higher the grade of the ore-forming potential.

[0086] Optionally, the more the number of zircon samples with oxygen fugacity greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the greater the ore-forming potential, such as the higher the grade of the ore-forming potential.

[0087] The mineral exploration method based on ore-forming potential provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises the following steps: obtaining a plurality of zircon samples in a target area; extracting feature information of the plurality of zircon samples and determining whether the feature information of the plurality of zircon samples meets at least two of the target conditions; wherein the feature information comprises at least two of the following: trace element content, abnormal value of a target element, or oxygen fugacity; if it is determined that at least two of the target conditions are met, it is determined that the ore-forming potential of the target area is greater than or equal to a preset grade, and the target area is subjected to mineral exploration; wherein the target conditions comprise at least two of the following: the dispersion degree of trace element content is greater than or equal to a preset degree; the range of abnormal values of the target element is greater than or equal to a preset range; and the number of zircon samples with oxygen fugacity greater than or equal to a preset threshold is greater than or equal to a preset number, wherein the trace element content comprises the content of at least one of light rare earth elements, rare earth elements, and heavy rare earth elements. In the above embodiments, the ore-forming potential of the target area is determined based on the performance of the feature information of the zircon samples, that is, whether the target conditions are met, so that the determination result is more accurate, and the efficiency of mineral exploration is higher, thereby avoiding unnecessary waste of manpower and material resources and reducing costs.

[0088] Optionally, the target conditions further comprise:

[0089] The ratio of isotope content is greater than or equal to a first preset value;

[0090] The determination of whether the feature information of the plurality of zircon samples meets at least two of the target conditions comprises:

[0091] The determination of whether the feature information of the plurality of zircon samples meets at least two of the target conditions and the determination of whether the ratio of isotope content is greater than or equal to a first preset value;

[0092] If it is determined that at least two of the target conditions are met, it is determined that the ore-forming potential of the target area is greater than or equal to a preset level, and mineral exploration is performed on the target area, including:

[0093] If it is determined that at least two of the target conditions are met, and it is determined that the ratio of the isotope content is greater than or equal to a first preset value, it is determined that the ore-forming potential of the target area is greater than or equal to a preset level, and mineral exploration is performed on the target area.

[0094] Specifically, the target conditions further include that the ratio of the isotope content is greater than or equal to a first preset value.

[0095] Optionally, the ratio of the isotope content is analyzed based on hafnium Hf elements. Hafnium has six natural stable isotopes: hafnium 174, 176, 177, 178, 179, and 180.

[0096] The ratio of the isotope content includes at least one of the following, for example: 176 Hf content 177 Hf content 176 Lu content 177 Hf content 176 Yb content 177 Hf content 170 Yb content 175 Hf content 179 Hf content 177 Hf content.

[0097] 176 Lu and 176 Yb is a homologous isotope of Lu.

[0098] 174 Hf is a radioactive isotope that forms stable 170 Yb by decay. 176 Lu is a radioactive isotope that forms stable 176 Hf by decay.

[0099] If it is determined that at least two of the target conditions are met, and it is determined that the ratio of the isotope content is greater than or equal to a first preset value, it indicates that the ore-forming potential of the target area is greater, i.e. it is determined that the ore-forming potential of the target area is greater than or equal to a preset level, and mineral exploration is performed on the target area.

[0100] In the above embodiments, the target conditions are further limited by further determining whether the ratio of the isotope content is greater than or equal to a first preset value based on the above at least two of the target conditions being met, thereby further improving the accuracy of determining the ore-forming potential.

[0101] Optionally, step S102, "determining whether the feature information of the plurality of zircon samples satisfies at least two of the target conditions," can be implemented in the following way:

[0102] When the trace element content includes the content of heavy rare earth elements, if the dispersion of the content of heavy rare earth elements is greater than or equal to a preset level, then it is determined that the dispersion of the trace element content is greater than or equal to the preset level in the target condition.

[0103] Specifically, experimental studies have revealed that the dispersion of heavy rare earth elements is more significant compared to that of light rare earth elements. Therefore, when the content of trace elements includes the content of heavy rare earth elements, only the dispersion of heavy rare earth elements can be considered. If the dispersion of the content of heavy rare earth elements is greater than or equal to a preset level, that is, if only the dispersion of the content of heavy rare earth elements satisfies the target condition of being greater than or equal to a preset level, then it can be determined that the dispersion of the content of trace elements in the target condition is greater than or equal to a preset level.

[0104] In the above embodiments, when the trace element content includes the content of heavy rare earth elements, if the dispersion of the content of heavy rare earth elements is greater than or equal to a preset level, it is determined that the dispersion of the trace element content is greater than or equal to the preset level in the target condition. Since only the dispersion of the content of heavy rare earth elements is considered, the efficiency of mineral exploration is high and the accuracy is not affected.

[0105] Optionally, determining whether the feature information of the plurality of zircon samples satisfies at least two of the target conditions includes:

[0106] Calculate the standard deviation of the variation in the content of the trace elements;

[0107] If the standard deviation is greater than or equal to the second preset value, then the dispersion of the trace element content is determined to be greater than or equal to the preset degree.

[0108] Specifically, in order to improve the accuracy of the calculation, the dispersion of trace element content can be described based on the standard deviation (σ). First, the standard deviation of the variation range of trace element content is calculated.

[0109] If the standard deviation is greater than or equal to the second preset value, then the dispersion of the trace element content is determined to be greater than or equal to the preset degree.

[0110] For example, the Lu element content (Lu) of the diorite in region 1. N It is 1365.43×10 -6 ~9521.52×10 -6 The variation range is 8156.09 × 10 -6The standard deviation is 71.78 × 10⁻⁶. -6 Lu element content (Lu) in area 2 diorite N 1587.35×10 -6 ~8915.66×10 -6 The change range is 7328.31 × 10 -6 The standard deviation is 55.66 × 10⁻⁶. -6 Region 3 Diorite (Lu) N 2451.76×10 -6 ~7882.21×10 -6 The variation range is 5430.45 × 10 -6 The standard deviation is 41.90 × 10⁻⁶. -6 This indicates that region 1 has significant mineralization potential.

[0111] For example, the standard deviation (×10) of the variation in rare earth element content across multiple regions (Regions 1-4) -6 The values ​​were: 7974.40, 6755.18, 5327.09, and 3028.13, respectively; the standard deviation of the variation range of heavy rare earth element content (×10) -6 The values ​​were 7748.62, 6612.60, 5107.45, and 2959.75, respectively; the standard deviation of the variation range of light rare earth element content (×10) -6 The values ​​are 230.16, 144.91, 228.00, and 129.80, respectively, indicating that region 1 has a large mineralization potential.

[0112] In the above embodiments, by calculating the standard deviation of the variation range of trace element content, the dispersion of trace element content can be determined based on the standard deviation, thus determining whether it is greater than or equal to a preset level, resulting in a more accurate outcome.

[0113] Optionally, the dispersion of LREE, HREE, and REE values ​​in zircon samples with different mineralization potentials varies significantly. Therefore, the mineralization potential of a target area can be determined based on the dispersion of the original values ​​of LREE, HREE, and REE contents. The greater the variation in LREE, HREE, and REE contents, the stronger the mineralization potential; the smaller the variation in LREE, HREE, and REE contents, the weaker the mineralization potential. Optionally, the outliers of the target elements include: cerium outliers; and / or...

[0114] The determination of whether the feature information of the plurality of zircon samples satisfies at least two of the target conditions includes:

[0115] If the variation ranges of the cerium anomaly value and the europium anomaly value of the zircon sample are both greater than or equal to the preset range as the temperature decreases, it is determined that the variation range of the anomaly value of the target element in the target condition is greater than or equal to the preset range.

[0116] Specifically, the ore-forming potential of the target region can be determined based on the variation range of the cerium anomaly value of the zircon sample. For example, the cerium anomaly values δCe of the zircon samples of the target regions with different ore-forming potentials are all positive anomalies but still have obvious differences, and the variation range of the cerium anomaly value δCe of the zircon sample of the target region with better ore-forming potential is larger. Therefore, in the case where the variation range of the cerium anomaly value δCe is greater than or equal to the preset range, it can be determined that the ore-forming potential of the target region is greater.

[0117] Optionally, in the process of geological evolution, the δCe and the europium anomaly value δEu of the zircon in different regions exhibit certain differences as the temperature decreases. For example, the δCe and the δEu of the zircon in the target region with better ore-forming potential both change significantly as the temperature decreases, that is, the variation range is large, while the δCe and the δEu of the zircon in the target region with lower ore-forming potential do not change regularly and the variation range is extremely small. Therefore, if the variation ranges of the cerium anomaly value and the europium anomaly value of the zircon sample are both greater than or equal to the preset range, it is determined that the variation range of the anomaly value of the target element in the target condition is greater than or equal to the preset range, that is, the ore-forming potential of the target region is greater.

[0118] In the above embodiments, based on the variation range of the cerium anomaly value or the cerium anomaly value and the europium anomaly value, it can be determined whether the variation range of the anomaly value of the target element in the target condition is greater than or equal to the preset range, and then it can be determined whether the ore-forming potential of the target region is greater than or equal to the preset level, so as to determine whether to perform mineral exploration, so that the accuracy of mineral exploration is higher, unnecessary human and material resources are avoided, and the cost is lower.

[0119] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 the method further includes:

[0120] In S102a, age characteristics are extracted from the plurality of zircon samples, and the mineral age of the target region is determined according to the extracted age characteristics.

[0121] In S103, the mineral exploration of the target region is performed by the following manner:

[0122] According to the mineral age of the target region, the mineral exploration of the target region is performed.

[0123] Optionally, it should be noted that S102a and S102 are not in a specific order.

[0124] Optionally, the age of the target region can be determined based on the morphological characteristics of the zircon samples.

[0125] For example, the mineral age is in the Mesozoic, Archean-Proterozoic, etc. The zircon in the Mesozoic is mostly columnar, the particle size is mostly between 50-200pm, the ratio of long and short axes is between 2:1-5:1, and the difference between different zircon particle sizes and long and short axis ratios is large. The degree of self-forming is high, and the rhythmic ring band is obvious. The zircon in the Archean-Proterozoic is mostly short columnar, the particle size is mostly between 50-100pm, the ratio of long and short axes is mostly 2:1-3:1, and the difference between different zircon particle sizes and long and short axis ratios is smaller than that of the zircon in the Mesozoic. The degree of self-forming is high, and the rhythmic ring band is obvious, and part of the zircon has a growth edge.

[0126] Optionally, the mineral age of the target region can be obtained by weighted average processing of the ages of the plurality of zircon samples in the target region.

[0127] In the above embodiments, by determining the mineral age, the target region can be further explored for mineral resources, which can meet different scene requirements.

[0128] Optionally, the determination of whether the feature information of the plurality of zircon samples satisfies at least two of the target conditions in step S102 can be realized by the following method:

[0129] For any zircon sample, the oxygen fugacity of the zircon sample is determined according to the cerium anomaly value and the zircon crystallization absolute temperature in the zircon sample.

[0130] According to the oxygen fugacity of the plurality of zircon samples, it is determined whether the number of zircon samples with oxygen fugacity greater than or equal to a preset threshold is greater than or equal to a preset number.

[0131] Specifically, first, the oxygen fugacity of each zircon sample in the plurality of zircon samples is determined, for example, the oxygen fugacity of each zircon sample is determined according to the cerium anomaly value and the zircon crystallization temperature of each zircon sample.

[0132] According to the oxygen fugacity of each zircon sample, the number of zircon samples with oxygen fugacity greater than or equal to a preset threshold is determined. If the number of zircon samples is greater than or equal to a preset number, it is determined that the third condition in the target condition is satisfied, that is, the number of zircon samples with oxygen fugacity greater than or equal to a preset threshold is greater than or equal to a preset number, that is, the more the number of zircon samples with oxygen fugacity greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the greater the mineralization potential.

[0133] In some embodiments, the determination of the oxygen fugacity of the zircon sample according to the cerium anomaly value and the zircon crystallization temperature in the zircon sample can be realized by the following method:

[0134] The oxygen fugacity of the zircon sample is determined according to the following formula:

[0135] Ln(Ce / Ce*) D = (0.1156 ± 0.0050) * Ln(fO2) + (13860 ± 708) / T - (6.125 ± 0.484);

[0136] wherein (Ce / Ce*) D denotes the cerium Ce anomaly value in the zircon sample, fO2 represents oxygen fugacity, and T represents the zircon crystallization temperature.

[0137] wherein the T is determined according to the following formula:

[0138] T = (4800 ± 86) / ((5.711 ± 0.072) - lg(Ti)) - 273.15;

[0139] wherein Ti represents the content of titanium element.

[0140] Specifically, the zircon titanium Ti geothermometer formula is adopted as follows:

[0141] lg(Ti) = (5.711 ± 0.072) - (4800 ± 86) / T - logαSiO2+ logαTiO2.

[0142] For a system in which zircon and rutile coexist, it is generally considered that αTiO2= 1, and if it is assumed that αSiO2= 1, then the zircon crystallization temperature is as follows:

[0143] T = (4800 ± 86) / ((5.711 ± 0.072) - lg(Ti)) - 273.15.

[0144] wherein Ti represents the content of titanium element Ti, and the unit is ℃. On the basis of the zircon Ti thermometer calculation, in combination with the zircon Ce anomaly value, the oxygen fugacity of the zircon sample is determined according to the following formula (1):

[0145] Ln(Ce / Ce*) D = (0.1156 ± 0.0050) * Ln(fO2) + (13860 ± 708) / T - (6.125 ± 0.484);

[0146] wherein (Ce / Ce*) D denotes the cerium Ce anomaly value in the zircon sample, fO2 represents oxygen fugacity, and T represents the zircon crystallization temperature.

[0147] wherein Ln represents the natural number e-based logarithm.

[0148] In the above embodiment, the oxygen fugacity of the zircon sample is determined according to the abnormal value of cerium and the zircon crystallization temperature in the zircon sample; then, whether the number of zircon samples with oxygen fugacity greater than or equal to a preset threshold is greater than or equal to a preset number is determined according to the oxygen fugacities of the plurality of zircon samples; and finally, whether the ore-forming potential of the target region is greater than or equal to a preset level is determined based on the determination result, and the result of determining the ore-forming potential is more accurate.
