Abstract:

Detection of deep and hidden mineralization using the surface geochemical data is a challenging subject in the mineral exploration. In this work, a novel scenario based on the spectrum–area fractal analysis (SAFA) and the principal component analysis (PCA) has been applied to distinguish and delineate the blind and deep Mo anomaly in the Dalli Cu–Au porphyry mineralization area. The Dalli mineral deposit is located on the volcanic–plutonic belt of Sahand–Bazman in the central part of Iran. The geochemical data was transformed to the frequency domain using the Fourier transformation, and SAFA was applied for classification of geochemical frequencies and detection of geochemical populations. The very low-frequency signals in the fractal method were separated using the low-pass filter function and were interpreted using PCA. This scenario demonstrates that the Mo element has an important role in the mineralization phase in the very low-frequency signals that are related to the deep mineralization; it is an important innovation in this work. Then the Mo geochemical anomaly has been mapped using the inverse Fourier transformation. This research work shows that the high-power spectrum values in SAFA are related to the background elements and the deep mineralization. Two exploratory boreholes drilled inside and outside the deep Mo anomaly area properly confirm the results of the proposed approach.

A Critique on Power Spectrum – Area Fractal Method for Geochemical Anomaly Mapping

Power spectrum – area fractal (S-A fractal) method has been frequently applied for geochemical anomaly mapping. Some researchers have performed this method for separation of geochemical anomaly, background and noise and have delineated their distribution maps. In this research, surface geochemical data of Zafarghand Cu-Mo mineralization area have been utilized and some defects of S-A fractal me...

Multi-criteria Anomaly Detection using Pareto Depth Analysis

We consider the problem of identifying patterns in a data set that exhibit anomalous behavior, often referred to as anomaly detection. In most anomaly detection algorithms, the dissimilarity between data samples is calculated by a single criterion, such as Euclidean distance. However, in many cases there may not exist a single dissimilarity measure that captures all possible anomalous patterns....

depth-based nonparametric multivariate analysis and its application in review of new treatment methodology on osteoarthrotic

In this article, first, we introduce depth function as a function for center-outward ranking. Then we present and use half space or Tukey depth function as one of the most popular depth functions. In the following, multivariate nonparametric tests for location and scale difference between two population are expressed by ranking and statistics based on depth versus depth plot. Finally, accord...
