Application and indication of seismic methods in deep gold prospecting in the Xilin fault zone in the Jiaodong area
The Xilin fault zone,intimately associated with gold and polymetallic mineralization,exhibits high potential for gold re-sources.In deep exploration,identifying the deep structural characteristics of ore-controlling faults plays a critical role in achieving breakthroughs in gold exploration.Through the analysis of gold metallization regularity and the reflection seismic methods,this study clarified the seismic response to the changes in the attitude of the dominant ore-controlling fault zone in the Jiaodong area.It posited that the changes in energy intensity of the seismic event on the seismic time profile,as well as large continuity deterioration zones,can indi-cate the changes in the fault attitude,demonstrating high mineralization potential.Moreover,this study predicted and verified the metalli-zation targets in the area.
