Application of Physicochemical Prospecting in a Copper and Cobalt Mine in Katanga Province,Congo(DRC)
The copper and cobalt mining area is located in the northeast of Likassi City,Katanga Province,Congo(DRC).High-precision magnetic scanning was used to quickly and effectively divide the structure and delineate the magnetic anomaly target area.Through soil geochemical survey,the geophysical anomaly properties are classified and the target area is further reduced.The surface geological survey has roughly identified the strata,rocks and structures of the lower section(Ng1.1),middle and upper section(Ng1.2-1.3)and Monwezi formation(Ng2)of the Encuba Group in the mining area,and determined the synclinal and anticlinal structure positions.Two copper oredodies(or mineralization bodies)and one copper anomaly were found in the process of trough exploration,which provides a basis for subsequent drilling and exploration in the mine.
