Ore prospecting in the Xishantou area of Ningzhen using geophysical and geochemical information
The Xishantou area is located in the western part of Cu-Pb-Zn polymetallic metallogenic belt of Ningzhen and has excellent metallogenic geological conditions.Good prospecting clues have been found in previous surveys,but not enough attention has been paid to them.Geological survey,geochemical survey,IP intermediate gradient method,high precise magnetic survey,CSMAT and IP sounding have been applied to research the ore-forming conditions of the study area.The study area has double structural plane of un-conformity similar to Qixiashan lead-zinc deposit,which is qualified to find Qixiashan type lead-zinc deposit.The structural plane of un-conformity in the lower part of the thrust nappe,and the vertical fracture in the Carboniferous to Permian carbonate rock strata,are the main ore-bearing strata and prospecting directions for mineral exploration.
