3D Prospecting Information Mining and Quantitative Prediction of Mineral Resources Based on Geological Models

Abstract:

3D quantitative prediction can be summarized as finding the combination parts of favorable metallogenic information based on the 3D geological models and cubic block models. Based on metallogenic prediction theory, relying on 3D visualization technology, 3D database technology and statistical calculations, this paper established the technical processes of 3D quantitative prediction and evaluation of deep mineral resources which including 3D geological modeling, prospecting model establishing, mineralization favorable information analysis and 3D quantitative prediction and evaluation.The favorable metallogenic information analysis and extraction which implemented based on 3D cubic block models extended the prospecting method from 2D to 3D space, and realized the visualization of deep quantitative geological information from the 3D point of view. The method of using 3D spatial exploration flag variable to realize 3D prediction of deep concealed ore provides a new way of prospecting prediction study of deep mineral resources.
