An Efficient and Economical Combination of Exploration Methods for Pb-Zn Polymetallic Skarn Deposits: A Case Study of the Periphery of Hetaoping Deposit, Yunnan Province, China

The Hetaoping ore district in Baoshan City, Yunnan Province, is one of the major localities Pb-Zn polymetallic skarn deposits China, where geophysical and geochemical surveys play an important role exploring mineral resources. Based on exploration prospecting carried out at periphery deposit, this study proposed aero-ground joint method to determine metallogenic model distal skarns district, achieving ideal results. steps are as follows. First, locations ore-induced anomalies were determined using high-amplitude aeromagnetic anomalies. Then, be through soil samples ground surveys. these data, a quantitative analysis potential assessment bodies their surrounding rocks conducted interactive 2.5D magnetic inversion. In addition, 3D inversion regional gravity data was also performed order spatial location deep magma chamber. Accordingly, geological process area analyzed by determining morphology chamber, finally built. results show that method, which first conducts rapid scanning survey then locates, distinguishes, assesses significant combining comprehensive verification means such geophysical, geochemical, surveys, efficient economical. This will guide research deposits.
