Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geological and mineral exploration technology, specifically to a method for accurately identifying ancient vortex centers and conducting mineral exploration based on ancient geological vortex structures, vortex contraction potential energy, and energy convergence mineralization laws. In particular, it relates to a multi-type resource collaborative exploration technology based on the material differentiation and energy coupling mechanism of the three spheres of hydroid ancient vortex and mantle magma ancient vortex. This is an original and innovative technical solution at the intersection of earth science, mineral exploration, and the origin of life. Background Technology

[0002] The formation and distribution of mineral resources strictly follow the laws of energy migration, accumulation, and collapse during Earth's evolution. Traditional mineral exploration techniques mainly rely on superficial indicators such as fault structures, folded strata, magma intrusion contact zones, rock alteration, and geophysical and geochemical anomalies. These techniques suffer from drawbacks such as large target areas, high degree of blind exploration, difficulty in locating deep, concealed minerals, and low success rates. Existing exploration theories and methods only focus on the geological manifestations of mineralization, failing to address the core dynamic mechanisms of mineral formation. During Earth's evolution, water movement, tectonic twisting, mantle convection, and magma upwelling all create paleogeological vortices. The center of these vortices possesses extremely strong contraction potential energy and is the core area where ore-forming materials, geological fluids, and geological energy converge. The energy collapse process directly promotes the enrichment and precipitation of minerals, forming mineral deposits. The center of these paleovortices is the optimal target area for the formation of various types of mineral deposits. Aqueous paleoval vortices primarily develop in aquatic environments, controlling the formation of sedimentary minerals, oil and gas resources, and biomolecules. Mantle magmatic paleoval vortices, formed by mantle convection, magma swirling, and magma chamber pulsation, control the formation of endogenous metallic minerals such as magmatic, hydrothermal, porphyry, and skarn types. Both exhibit unified dynamic mechanisms, following the laws of vortex contraction, energy convergence, material differentiation, and stratification enrichment. Existing theories of mineralization, hydrocarbon genesis, and the origin of life are independent and fail to reveal a unified dynamic mechanism. Currently, no mineral exploration method integrates aqueous and mantle magmatic paleoval vortices into a unified system, enabling comprehensive and coordinated exploration of exogenous and endogenous minerals, significantly limiting the integrity and efficiency of resource exploration. Therefore, this invention, based on the unified vortex energy field mineralization theory, proposes a mineral exploration method based on paleoval vortex center identification. Starting from the essence of Earth's energy evolution, it constructs a novel, efficient, and precise mineral exploration technology system. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Purpose of the invention To address the shortcomings of existing mineral exploration technologies, such as their blindness, difficulty in deep exploration, low success rate, failure to grasp the essential energy and dynamics of mineralization, and fragmented exploration of various resource types, this invention provides a mineral exploration method based on the identification of ancient vortex centers. Using ancient vortex centers as the core mineral exploration target, it leverages the core principles of vortex contraction potential energy accumulating into minerals and energy collapse promoting mineral precipitation. Based on the three-sphere material differentiation and energy coupling mechanism of hydrous ancient vortices and mantle magmatic ancient vortices, it achieves precise, efficient, and low-cost mineral exploration, significantly improving the success rate of concealed and deep mineral exploration, and establishing a comprehensive and unified theoretical and technical system for vortex-controlled mineral exploration.

[0004] Technical solution A mineral exploration method based on ancient vortex center identification, characterized by the following steps: (1) Collect multi-source geological data of the target exploration area and preliminarily delineate the potential development area of ​​the ancient vortex structure; (2) The preliminary location of the ancient vortex center was determined by remote sensing interpretation and geophysical and geochemical data identification; (3) Conduct field geological reconnaissance to verify the vortex structure characteristics and determine the precise coordinates of the ancient vortex center and the core mineralization target area; (4) Conduct deep exploration of the core target area and evaluate the mineralization potential by combining the three-sphere material differentiation law of hydromorphic paleovalds and mantle magmatic paleovalds. (5) Deploy geological engineering in the target area to verify the location of the ore body and complete mineral exploration.

[0005] The method takes the center of the ancient vortex as the core exploration target and relies on the mineralization law of vortex contraction potential energy accumulating into minerals and energy collapse promoting mineral precipitation to achieve precise mineral exploration.

[0006] Furthermore, the ancient vortices of the present invention include aqueous sedimentary ancient vortices, tectonic ancient vortices, and mantle magmatic ancient vortices; wherein, aqueous sedimentary ancient vortices control the formation of sedimentary minerals, oil and gas resources and biomolecules, and mantle magmatic ancient vortices control the formation of endogenous metallic minerals.

[0007] Furthermore, the material differentiation and energy coupling law of the three-sphere hydromorphic ancient vortex in this invention is as follows: The core of the vortex (central region) has the strongest rotational compression potential energy, and the fluid pressure and centripetal force reach their peak, forming a dense gas accumulation and a high-density inorganic mineral accumulation, which promotes the enrichment of high-density ore-forming elements and the formation of metal deposits. It is the core occurrence area of ​​various endogenous and sedimentary metal mineral deposits. The middle part of the vortex (transition zone): The rotational kinetic energy and potential energy are in equilibrium. The temperature, pressure and medium environment are mild and stable, which is perfectly suited to the differentiation and synthesis needs of biological macromolecules. It is the optimal space for the formation, aggregation and preservation of life macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, amino acids and proteins. The outer periphery (edge): Centrifugal force dominates the transport of energy and matter, and hydrocarbon components and lipids accumulate and enrich on a large scale. It is the core area for the formation and occurrence of energy minerals such as hydrocarbons, oil, and natural gas.

[0008] Furthermore, mantle magma-type ancient vortices follow the same vortex dynamics laws. The center of the vortex is the optimal layer for magma differentiation, fluid release, and mineral precipitation. Ore-forming elements gradually accumulate from the periphery to the center, making it the optimal location for endogenous metallic mineral deposits.

[0009] Furthermore, the enrichment pattern of the ore-forming elements is as follows: the ore-forming materials gradually accumulate from the outer periphery of the vortex to the core area, and the center of the vortex is the optimal ore-forming part with the highest mineralization intensity and the largest ore body thickness.

[0010] Furthermore, the method of the present invention is applicable to the full-area mineral exploration of hydrothermal deposits, sedimentary deposits, magmatic exhalative deposits, polymetallic symbiotic deposits, and oil and gas energy minerals, and is applicable to the exploration of surface and deep concealed minerals. Beneficial effects

[0011] 1. Outstanding originality and strong novelty: This invention is the first to integrate ancient hydromorphic vortices, ancient mantle magma vortices, vortex contraction potential energy, energy collapse mineralization theory, and the three-sphere differentiation law into mineral exploration, achieving theoretical unity of exogenous minerals, endogenous minerals, oil and gas resources, and the origin of life. There are no existing similar technical solutions, and it has absolute originality and innovation.

[0012] 2. Significant scientific rigor and advanced features: Starting from the energy and dynamic essence of Earth's evolution, it conforms to the laws of fluid mechanics, sedimentology, magma dynamics, and geochemistry, accurately grasps the spatial symbiotic mechanism of multiple types of resources, makes the mineral exploration target area more precise, and the exploration efficiency higher, realizing the collaborative exploration of mineral resources across the entire region.

[0013] 3. Significantly improved exploration efficiency and economy: Directly pinpoints the core metallogenic area of ​​the ancient vortex and favorable deposit locations in the three spheres, narrowing the exploration scope, reducing ineffective engineering investment, lowering exploration costs, and significantly improving the success rate of finding concealed minerals, deep minerals, and oil and gas reservoirs compared to traditional methods.

[0014] 4. Wide range of applications and strong versatility: It covers various endogenous and exogenous mineral deposits and oil and gas energy mineral exploration, and is not strictly limited by lithology, strata, and regional tectonic background. It can be widely used in the exploration of various resources such as gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, polymetallic minerals, and oil and gas.

[0015] 5. High degree of unity between theory and practice: Deeply integrate the unified vortex energy field theory, the origin of life and mineralization, improve the theoretical system of vortex-controlled mineralization, and realize the transformation of basic geological theory into mineral exploration application technology.

[0016] 6. Multidisciplinary value is highlighted: This invention can not only be used for mineral exploration, but also provide a brand-new technical path for scientific research on the origin of life and exploration of paleontological remains, realizing the dual empowerment of resource exploration and basic scientific research.

[0017] Based on publicly available regional geological data, tectonic evolution, magma vortex flow, paleosedimentary circulation, and geophysical and geochemical characteristics, combined with the paleovortex contraction potential energy, energy convergence, and the mineralization control laws of the three-sphere material differentiation, a step-by-step prediction of favorable paleovortex mineralization areas in China and Northeast China is conducted. At a national macroscale, the Jiaodong-Tanlu fault zone, Qinling-Dabie tectonic zone, Wuyishan-Nanling tectonic zone, Qilian-Altun tectonic zone, Qinhang junction zone, and the densely packed ring-shaped structures at the edge of the Yangtze Craton exhibit widespread ring-radial structures, torsional faults, ring-shaped geophysical anomalies, and centripetal enrichment characteristics of ore-forming elements. These areas are core zones for the search for super-large endogenous and exogenous mineral deposits in my country. Focusing on the mesoscale of Northeast China, the Liaoxi-Jidong spiral tectonic belt, the Jilin-Heilongjiang eastern-Yanbian arcuate tectonic belt, the northern section of the Greater Khingan Mountains magmatic tectonic belt, and the paleosedimentary vortex zone on the periphery of the Songliao Basin exhibit significant superimposed effects of tectonic twisting, magmatic pulsation, and paleowater circulation, making them the most favorable areas for the synergistic enrichment of endogenous metallic minerals, sedimentary minerals, and energy minerals in Northeast China. Further focusing on the periphery of the Songliao Basin, in addition to the already discovered uranium deposits such as Qianjiadian, Baolongshan, Hailijin, Dalin, and Tiefa, the Lindian-Yian-Fuyu paleocirculation vortex belt on the northwestern margin, the Suiling-Qing'an-Hailun paleoconvergent vortex center on the northeastern margin, and the Tuquan Basin-Zhalute Banner paleosedimentary vortex group on the southwestern margin all possess conditions for closed confluence, centripetal enrichment of materials, and fluid circulation mineralization. These are key new areas and strata for breakthroughs in the exploration of sandstone-type uranium, polymetallic, and energy minerals. From a regional focus to a micro-level prospecting target area, the Tuquan Basin and Zhalute Banner area on the southwestern edge of the Songliao Basin have developed typical closed confluence-type ancient sedimentary vortex groups in intermontane basins. The basins exhibit a closed confluence morphology, with ancient water systems converging centripetally. Remote sensing shows a ring-arc structure, sedimentary sequences show vortex-related bedding, geophysical anomalies, and geochemical features such as centripetal enrichment of elements like uranium, molybdenum, silver, lead, zinc, and rare earth elements. These features are highly consistent with the three-sphere differentiation pattern of ancient vortices and possess conditions for the co-formation of uranium, polymetallic minerals, coal-bearing strata, and oil and gas, making them of outstanding strategic prospecting value.

[0018] The breakthrough in oil and gas exploration at the ancient vortex center of the Mangniuhai Depression in the central part of the Tuquan Basin was based on traditional rift basin oil-controlling theory, exploration of new strata in the new area, and integrated gravity, magnetic, electromagnetic, and seismic surveys. However, the exploration deployment did not employ ancient vortex center identification theories and methods. This invention, for the first time, incorporates this area into the ancient vortex-controlled mineralization system, revealing it as a closed, confluence-type ancient sedimentary vortex center in an intermontane basin. It reinterprets the synergistic mineralization mechanism of oil and gas and polymetallic mineralization using a unified vortex energy field and the three-sphere differentiation pattern, providing new theoretical support and exploration pathways for subsequent breakthroughs in uranium, polymetallic, and integrated oil and gas exploration in this area. The area has already yielded light crude oil in the Middle-Lower Jurassic Wanbao Formation through the Tucan-1 well, confirming multiple sets of source rocks and high-quality sand bodies, indicating excellent mineralization conditions. Currently, the overall exploration level is low, and systematic deep exploration of uranium and polymetallic mineralization has not yet been carried out, indicating significant potential for concealed mineralization. The three priority prospecting locations in this area are: first, the ancient vortex center of the Mangniuhai Depression in the central part of the Tuquan Basin, which is the core of sedimentary and fluid convergence, with breakthroughs in oil and gas and the best conditions for uranium and polymetallic mineralization; second, the ancient water flow vortex zone of Zhenxi-Dapaozi in the eastern part of the Tuquan Basin, which is located in a favorable position for mineralization due to basin-mountain transformation and fluid mixing; and third, the closed confluence center in the southern mountains of Zhalute Banner, which has a complete ancient vortex structure, high anomaly intensity, and low exploration level. All three are key target areas for achieving breakthroughs in prospecting by relying on the ancient vortex center identification method. Detailed Implementation Example

[0019] The collaborative exploration of polymetallic minerals and oil and gas resources in a certain area employs the mineral exploration method based on ancient vortex center identification, as described in this invention.

[0020] (2) Remote sensing interpretation was carried out to identify three ring-radial structures and arc-shaped torsional fault zones. Combined with low gravity anomaly, magnetic ring anomaly, centripetal enrichment of copper, lead, and zinc polymetallic elements, and peripheral hydrocarbon anomaly characteristics, the locations of the centers of two hydromorphic paleoval vortices were preliminarily determined.

[0021] (3) Conduct field geological reconnaissance and discover typical water-derived ancient vortex sedimentary markers such as mound cross-bedding, scour erosion surface, and twisted bedding in the target area. Accurately determine one ancient vortex center and strictly follow the three-sphere differentiation law to delineate the vortex core mineralization area, the central biomolecule development zone, and the peripheral oil and gas enrichment zone.

[0022] (4) High-precision induced polarization sounding and seismic exploration were used to conduct deep exploration, delineate the high polarization polymetallic mineralization anomaly at a depth of 150-400m in the core area of ​​the vortex, delineate the oil and gas reservoir anomaly area in the periphery, and evaluate that the area has sufficient vortex contraction potential energy, rich ore-forming materials, good preservation conditions for mineral deposits and oil and gas reservoirs, and has the potential for exploration of polymetallic minerals and oil and gas coexistence.

[0023] (5) Drilling projects were deployed in the core area of ​​the ancient vortex, and thick, concealed polymetallic ore bodies were successfully drilled. At the same time, oil and gas shows were verified in the outer zone, realizing precise exploration of multiple types of resources. The mineral exploration efficiency was greatly improved compared with traditional methods, avoiding ineffective exploration project investment. Example

[0024] The method of this invention was used to conduct exploration in an endogenous metal mineral cluster. The steps are as follows: (1) Collect regional geological, gravity, magnetic, electrical and geochemical data, identify regional magmatic activity and deep tectonic background, and delineate potential development areas of mantle magmatic paleovus.

[0025] (2) By remote sensing and geophysical interpretation, identify the annular gravity anomaly, magnetic anomaly, and annular alteration zone to determine the location of the center of the ancient mantle magma vortex.

[0026] (3) Field geological verification revealed typical structural and magmatic vortex markers such as annular fissures, radial veins, cryptovolcanic breccia, and alteration zonation, which corrected and pinpointed the precise location of the vortex center.

[0027] (4) Conduct deep geophysical exploration to delineate deep magma fluid enrichment areas and mineralization anomalies, and evaluate mineralization potential based on the energy convergence and mineralization enrichment patterns at the vortex center.

[0028] (5) Drilling was deployed at the center of the vortex, and a thick endogenous metallic ore body was successfully discovered, verifying the effectiveness and accuracy of the ancient vortex ore-controlling mechanism of mantle magma.
