Geochemical Quantitative Assessment of Mineral Resource Potential in the Da Hinggan Mountains in Inner Mongolia, China

Studying surface geochemical anomalies is important for detecting the presence of mineral deposits. However, distinguishing inconspicuous a challenge geochemists. This paper studies quantitative prediction Pb–Zn metallic deposits by identifying mainly associated with Permian and Jurassic strata in middle-southern Da Hinggan Mountains metallogenic belt. Some new methods are employed to highlight weak anomalies. The Pb Zn effectively highlighted average contrast values Pb–Zn–Ag–Cd. similarity coefficient large typical discovered used identify mineralized delineate prospecting target areas. denudation degree deposit determined ratio (W × Sn)/(As Sb). analogy method areal productivity resource prediction. Thirty-six areas resources 307.73 million tons delineated. Five verified, some proven drilling. verification results show that predicted very reasonable credible. successful case assessment potential, which can be as reference future activities.
