3D Constrained Gravity Inversion and TEM, Seismic Reflection and Drill-Hole Analysis for New Target Generation in the Neves–Corvo VMS Mine Region, Iberian Pyrite Belt

چکیده

Located in the Iberian pyrite belt, Neves–Corvo mine is a world-class massive sulfide deposit and largest operating Portugal with underground mining down to 1000 m depth focused on stockwork Cu, Zn, Pb rich ores. Gravimetric data have had leading role discovery of seven known deposits, together time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) ground data. In this work, we present results 3D constrained gravity inversion carried out legacy The inversions were using an updated density database containing approximately 142,000 measurements. A recently constructed geological model based reprocessed 2D seismic reflection, seismic, TEM geology from detailed surface mapping drill-hole data, was used constrain inversions. show multiple high-density anomalies that may indicate presence mineralization at depth. These therefore cross-checked holes previously drilled. Approximately 97% more than available drill-holes located or distance less 200 intersected mineralization. However, been drilled past particularly dense black shales rhyolitic/gabbroic rocks intersected. To increase success future drilling, gravimetric correlated spatially high-conductivity zones strong-amplitude reflections, because igneous usually weak-to-moderate conductivity column presents signature quite different We concluded some these locations represent high-quality targets consider following up drilling further exploration.

A new 3D geological model and structural evolution of the world-class Rio Tinto VMS deposit, Iberian Pyrite Belt (Spain)

A new 3D geological model and structural evolution of the Rio Tinto world-class VMS deposit is presented in this work. The Rio Tinto volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit is located in the Spanish segment of the Iberian Pyrite Belt and is hosted by felsic porphyritic volcanic rocks and tuffs. Computer generated 3D modeling of the different orebodies and host rocks has been carried out usin...

3D gravity data-space inversion with sparseness and bound constraints

One of the most remarkable basis of the gravity data inversion is the recognition of sharp boundaries between an ore body and its host rocks during the interpretation step. Therefore, in this work, it is attempted to develop an inversion approach to determine a 3D density distribution that produces a given gravity anomaly. The subsurface model consists of a 3D rectangular prisms of known sizes ...
