Comprehensive Geophysical Exploration of Coluwezi Copper-cobalt Zone in Congo
Kolwezi is located in the Zambia-Congo copper belt in Central Africa,one of the world's major copper producing areas.In order to provide prospecting clues and engineering basis for the exploita-tion and prospect evaluation of copper and cobalt ore resources in KAM and KAS with serious surface cover-age in this area,the geophysical stimulated polarization intermediate gradient method and high-precision surface magnetic survey method are used for comprehensive exploration.Through the high precision magnet-ic survey on the ground,the polar anomaly is delineated,which provides a clue for the geological classifica-tion of the Luoan Group mine formation.The anomaly range is delineated by the middle gradient measure-ment of the induced polarization method,and the prospecting target area is further reduced,and the geo-physical basis is provided for the next geological engineering layout.Based on the interpretation of the com-prehensive geophysical exploration,it is concluded that the mineralization geological conditions of the miner-al rights KAS are not promising,and it is recommended to invest cautiously,while the KAM mineral rights can carry out the next exploration engineering verification of the anomalous target area.
