GEOPHYSICAL METHODS IN EXPLORATION AND MINERAL ENVIRONMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS by Donald B. Hoover, Douglas P. Klein, and David C. Campbell INTRODUCTION In the following discussion, the applicability of geophysical methods to geoenvironmental studies of ore deposits is reviewed.
Exploitation of existing iron ore deposit is the easier part of the mining operations. The harder part is to find new ore deposits and to define their extent and the iron content grade . Exploration is the process by which the accumulations of iron ore minerals can be found in the earth’s crust.
Exploration geophysics can be used to directly detect the target style of mineralization, via measuring its physical properties directly. For example, one may measure the density contrasts between the dense iron ore and the lighter sili e host rock, or one may measure the electrical conductivity contrast between conductive sulfide minerals ...
