- the reason for this standardization is as follows.
- the observed value is the amount of light incident on the sensor (absolute value). That is, in the satellite data, the sunlight, shade, solar altitude, atmospheric transparency, and the like change, so that the amount of incident light on the sensor that is observed differs even with the same substance. Similarly, in the case of a measuring device, the amount of incident light varies depending on the aging of the light source, the distance from the object, and the like. Since it is difficult to estimate a substance with such an incident light quantity, the above-described normalization is performed.
- the observed reflection spectrum thus obtained is compared with the reflection spectra of predetermined various altered minerals, kaolin mineral, and secondary copper sulfide.
- the reflection spectrum of a predetermined altered mineral, kaolin mineral, or secondary copper sulfide is known or can be obtained by separately measuring. According to the similarity by this comparison, it is possible to estimate the respective distributions of the total concentration of altered minerals, the concentration of kaolin mineral, and the concentration of secondary copper sulfide.
- the total concentration of altered minerals can be obtained by estimating the concentrations of kaolin minerals, sericite, chlorite, and the like contained in altered minerals as described later and summing them.
- a spectral angle mapper (SAM) method In order to measure the degree of similarity, for example, a spectral angle mapper (SAM) method, a cross-correlation method, or the like can be used.
- SAM method is expressed as an n-dimensional vector corresponding to the number of bands, and a material such as an altered mineral that forms the minimum angle with this is output as a solution.
- the cross-correlation method is a correlation coefficient between reflection spectra. In this case, a substance such as an altered mineral having the highest correlation coefficient is used as a solution, and these methods are already known in the technical field.
- the concentration distribution of an altered mineral or the like can be evaluated by a Laplacian that represents a change in data at three consecutive points.
- a Laplacian that represents a change in data at three consecutive points.
- FIG. 1 (a) shows the reflection spectrum characteristics of plants, gallstones, silica peacock stone, brochant copper ore and atacama stone.
- FIG. 1A shows the reflection spectrum characteristics of plants, gallstones, silica peacock stone, brochant copper ore and atacama stone.
- FIG. 1A shows the reflection spectrum characteristics of plants, gallstones, silica peacock stone, brochant copper ore and atacama stone.
- FIG. 1A shows the reflection spectrum characteristics different from those of plants, generally in the visible region and the short-wavelength infrared region.
- FIG. 1B shows the reflection spectrum characteristics of quartz, sericite, kaolinite, and montmorillonite. From FIG. 1 (b), it can be seen that the mineral having an OH group has a characteristic reflection spectrum absorption in the wavelength region of 1300 to 2500 ⁇ m.
- An appropriate wavelength region can be set according to the reflection spectral characteristics of each substance.
- the wavelength range is 350 nm to 600 nm, particularly 400 nm to 600 nm, 1600 nm to 2500 nm, especially 1900 nm to 2500 nm. It is preferable to set.
- the wavelength range of 2000 nm to 2500 nm is particularly effective.
- the wavelength ranges of 500 nm to 600 nm and 900 nm to 1100 nm which are characterized by the reflection spectral characteristics of those minerals.
- the spectrometer can be set to 1300 nm to 1600 nm.
- the observed value of the reflection spectrum can be multispectral data obtained by observing only a specific wavelength.
- the wavelength range from visible to short-wavelength infrared such as 400 nm to 2500 nm is continuously measured. It is preferable from the viewpoint of improving accuracy to obtain continuous spectrum data obtained by doing so.
- Continuous spectrum data can be obtained by measuring with a predetermined portable reflection spectrum measuring machine. Specifically, for example, there is an ARCspector Rocket manufactured by AROptix Corporation, a Fieldspec manufactured by ASD Corporation, and the like.
- a sample is collected in the depth direction at the target point, and by performing component analysis of the collected sample, at each position in the depth direction of the target point, at least, The total concentration of alteration minerals, the concentration of kaolin minerals and the concentration of secondary copper sulfide are measured.
- the reason for measuring the concentration distribution in the depth direction of each substance in this way is as follows.
- Metal deposits such as hydrothermal deposits, including the block rock copper deposit, are formed through two mineralization processes: primary mineralization and secondary enrichment.
- primary mineralization as shown in Fig. 2 (a), the underground water of the stratified volcano 1 and so on is affected by the hot water 2 released from the deep underground as the magma rises.
- a primary mineralized zone 3 containing primary copper sulfide and the like is formed at a deep location.
- alteration zone 4 containing alteration minerals such as biotite, sericite and chlorite around the primary mineralization zone.
- the primary copper sulfide is leached by the acid formed by the decomposition of pyrite by rain RF and the like, and the secondary enriched zone 6 is formed by depositing secondary copper sulfide and the like under the groundwater surface GL. Secondary enrichment effect occurs.
- the secondary enrichment zone 6 as a whole moves downward due to surface erosion and groundwater level reduction, and grows as copper leached in the leaching zone 5 moves downward from the leaching zone 5.
- alteration zone 4 containing alteration minerals generated by the primary mineralization is present around or in the vicinity thereof.
- alteration minerals selenium, kaolin, iron alumite, etc.
- leaching zone 5 alteration minerals (sericite mineral, kaolin, iron alumite, etc.) formed along with leaching are also present.
- each target point where the component analysis in the depth direction was considered was divided into the deep part and the shallow part in the depth direction.
- the classification can be generally made into a plurality of classification types, particularly, into four characteristic classification types A to D as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) to (d).
- the number of classification types can be in the range of 2 to 9 types depending on the geological conditions of the area including the target point, and in particular, it can be in the range of 2 to 5 types. More preferably, it is more preferably in the range of two to four types.
- FIGS. 3A to 3D will be described in detail as an example.
- 3A to 3D are graphs in which the horizontal axis is the alteration strength (T_Kao / T_Clay) of the kaolin mineral, and the other axis is the concentration of secondary copper sulfide (CuSS).
- the four classification types A to D classified according to the depth and shallowness concentration classification based on the alteration strength of the kaolin mineral and the concentration of secondary copper sulfide in each of the shallow SP and deep DP are shown.
- SP represents the shallow part of the secondary enriched zone 6
- DP represents the deep part of the secondary enriched zone 6.
- the classification type A shown in FIG. 3 (a) shows that, due to the large amount of supply of copper and acid from the leaching zone 5, the shallower SP has higher alteration strength and the concentration of secondary copper sulfide is higher. Represents. It is effective to explore the underground of a zone where there are many points classified into this classification type A.
- the classification type B shown in FIG. 3 (b) is similar to the classification type A in that the acid and copper are supplied in the shallow SP of the secondary enriched zone 6, but the amount is insufficient. In the deep DP of the secondary enriched zone 6, the concentration of secondary copper sulfide is reduced.
- the shallow portion SP and the deep portion DP in the depth direction here, for example, in the depth direction, with the center position of the thickness (length in the depth direction) of the secondary enriched zone 6 as a boundary, from the center position
- the upper part of the secondary enrichment zone 6 existing on the shallower side can be defined as the shallow part SP
- the lower part of the secondary enrichment zone 6 present on the deeper side than the central position can be defined as the deep part DP.
- the thickness of the secondary enrichment zone 6 is about 350 m at the maximum, so that it can be quantified and never deviated from the range.
- the secondary enriched zone 6 can be divided into a shallow part SP and a deep part DP according to the kaolin mineral content and the behavior of secondary copper sulfide.
- each target point can be classified into one of the above-described depth type concentration classification classifications A to D.
- a plane distribution can be obtained for each classification type A to D in the target region.
- the above-described altered mineral includes at least a kaolin mineral, and may further include one or more selected from the group consisting of sericite, chlorite, chlorite, alumite, and iron alumite.
- sericite representing primary mineralization
- kaolin mineral formed by secondary enrichment and iron alumite are particularly effective for ore exploration.
- the kaolin mineral may contain one or more selected from the group consisting of kaolinite, halloysite, and dickite.
- the secondary copper sulfide can include one or more selected from the group consisting of copper oxide minerals and chalcocite.
- resource development As described above, after exploring a metal deposit, resource development can be performed based on the exploration results. More specifically, drilling and mining in a specified target area, including the target point where the existence of the metal deposit was estimated by the above-mentioned metal deposit exploration method, yielding resources such as secondary copper sulfide. And mine can be developed. This boring is an operation in which a cylindrical hole such as a cylinder is excavated in the ground, and a sample in the depth direction such as a core can be taken at that time, and is sometimes referred to as a borehole. . Boring is widely used in geological surveys and underground resource collection, and various boring methods including known or well-known boring methods can be employed in the present invention.
- the density of the boring in the area that is, how dense the boring is performed in a plan view. More specifically, at the target points classified into the classification type C and the classification type D described above, it is presumed that the possibility of deposit distribution outside the area is low. Therefore, it can be determined that the boring density may be low even if the boring for the confirmation at the outside point is necessary.
- the digging length of can be determined. For example, at the predetermined depth position, the above-mentioned alteration strength (T_Kao / T_Clay) of the kaolin mineral is calculated from the reflection spectrum, and if the T_Kao / T_Clay is still high, it is considered that it is necessary to dig to a deeper position.
- T_Kao / T_Cray becomes sufficiently low, it is considered that boring has been carried out to a depth position that has passed through the secondary enrichment zone, and it is judged that no good part will come out even if drilling further. Can do.
- T_Kao / T_Clay is high, a good secondary enrichment zone may be distributed deeper, and it can be determined that it is necessary to increase the excavation length.
- the initial mineralization of the Caserones Copper Mine is a Cu-Mo porphyry type mineralization with dissite porphyry as the related igneous rock. Near the surface of the earth, there is a clear vertical zone of copper minerals, accompanied by a secondary enrichment zone of oxidation and a secondary enrichment zone of sulfide. As shown in FIG. 4, the ore deposit has a scale of approximately 1.5 km (NE-SW) ⁇ 2 km (NW-SE), and the high grade portion has a ridge (mainly extending in the NE-SW direction). CuS is distributed in the ridge portion (ridge ridge portion) extending in the southeast direction from the main ridge portion. As shown in FIG.
- the vertical mineral zone is classified into an oxidized secondary enriched zone (OX), a sulfurized secondary enriched zone (SS), and a primary mineral zone (SP).
- OX oxidized secondary enriched zone
- SS sulfurized secondary enriched zone
- SP primary mineral zone
- LX leaching zone
- the sulfurized secondary enrichment zone (SS) develops almost harmoniously with the ground surface from the ridge to the NW-SE section, but the NE-SW section is almost horizontal.
- Chalcopyrite in the secondary sulfide enriched zone (SS) is often produced by replacing pyrite and chalcopyrite.
- FIG. 6 shows the results of a borehole analysis at a predetermined point that captures a high-quality part where a secondary enrichment zone develops.
- FIG. 6 shows the concentration distribution in the depth direction of each substance.
- CuS secondary copper sulfide
- CuINS primary copper sulfide
- the CuS concentration gradually decreases from the shallow portion (SS_U) to the deep portion (SS_L), but the CuINS concentration increases in the deep portion (SS_L).
- the total concentration of altered minerals gradually decreases from the shallow part (SS_U) to the deep part (SS_L).
- the concentration of sericite does not vary greatly from the shallow part (SS_U) to the deep part (SS_L).
- concentration of a kaolin-type mineral is high in the shallow part (SS_U), and is so low that it goes to the deep part (SS_L).
- FIG. 7 shows the result of comparing the XRD results with the concentration estimated from the reflection spectrum as described above for the sericite, kaolin and iron alumite of the drilling core of the Caserones deposit.
- the horizontal axis represents the XRD result
- the vertical axis represents the density estimation result based on the reflection spectrum. For all minerals, a coefficient of determination close to 0.8 is obtained, and it can be seen that the reflection spectrum has sufficient estimation accuracy to be used as an indicator of alteration strength.
- FIG. 8 shows the distribution in the depth direction of the alteration strength (T_Kao / T_Clay) and the secondary copper sulfide concentration (CuS_S) of the kaolin-based mineral at a predetermined point.
- T_Kao represents the total content of kaolinite, halloysite, and the like
- T_Clay represents the total content of kaolinite, sericite, and the like. From FIG. 8, T_Kao / T_Clay shows a variation similar to that of CuS_S, which means that more CuS is formed in the shallow portion where the secondary enrichment action is strongly generated.
- FIG. 9 shows the relationship between T_Kao / T_Cray and the concentration of CuS for a secondary enriched zone where T_Kao / T_Clay> 0.1 at a given point.
- “ ⁇ ” plots indicate measured values at different depth positions in the shallow secondary enriched zone
- “ ⁇ ” plots indicate measured values at different depth locations in the secondary enriched zone. Value.
- the correlation between T_Kao / T_Clay and CuS is strong. This indicates that in the secondary enriched zone shallow, there is a large supply of copper and acid from the upper leaching zone that has already been scraped off, It shows that it decreases as it goes.
- Table 1 summarizes the amounts of primary copper sulfide and secondary copper sulfide and the formation process of the secondary enriched zone in each classification type A to D.
- “ ⁇ ”, “ ⁇ ”, “ ⁇ ”, and “ ⁇ ” indicate that the amount of copper sulfide increases in this order from“ ⁇ ”to“ ⁇ ”.
- the secondary enrichment action is classified into any of the four classification types A to D (classification types I to IV) for each drilling point, and the plane distribution plotted on the map is shown in FIG. From the results shown in FIG. 10, the planar distribution of the classification type is almost concentric, and the secondary enrichment is weak along the main ridge and the branch ridge in the periphery where there is little pyrite etc., and the secondary enrichment works strongly. I understand that. Thus, in the Caserones mine, it was found that the deposits by the secondary enrichment were formed in the area corresponding to the current ridge topography.
