AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies lack simple, efficient, and accurate exploration methods for ion adsorption-type rare earth deposits in high-latitude and high-altitude regions. Traditional methods are complex and cannot be applied to the terrain conditions of Zhongshan Mountain.
By statistically analyzing the whole-rock rare earth element and K2O content of the ore-forming parent rock in the survey area, distribution maps of total alkali and K2O were compiled. Combined with the weathering crust distribution map, a comprehensive evaluation system for ore-forming potential was established. Target areas were screened and ore bodies were located using topographic slope, red clay layer distribution, and vegetation type.
It enables rapid and accurate exploration in mountainous terrain conditions at high latitudes and high altitudes, improving exploration efficiency and accuracy while reducing exploration costs. It is suitable for ion adsorption type rare earth mineral exploration in high latitude and high altitude areas.
