His area of interest are Mineral Exploration Application of Geophysical methods in mineral explorations Seismic waves Mining Seismology and Seismic waves interactions with Engineering Structures. Used in mineral investigations to map low-velocity alluvial deposits such as those that may contain gold tin or sand and gravel.
The lateral extent of the Comstock ore body was mapped using self-potential methods in the 1880s.
Applications of geophysical techniques in mineral exploration. Used in mineral investigations to map low-velocity alluvial deposits such as those that may contain gold tin or sand and gravel. Applications in geoenvironmental work include studying the structure thickness and hydrology of tailings and extent of acid mine drainage around mineral deposits Dave and others 1986. Geophysical techniques have wide range of applications mainly in earth science marine science civil engineering hydrology archeology Teixidó 2012and Forensic Science.
For example in earth science they are used and applied in Geology Mining Engineering activities and Petroleum Engineering. Geophysics in Mineral-Environmental Applications 2 Contents 1 ExecutiveSummary 3. Example applications of geophysical techniques to mineral-environmental problems are summarized in Table 1 Section 3 which lists application problems processes and.

Geophysical field techniques for mineral exploration batholith and its application to detailed Geophysical field techniques for mineral exploration During the Mineral Reconnaissance Programme the BGS evaluated and applied a wide range of techniques to exploration.
Surface geophysical surveys have been applied to mineral and petroleum exploration for many years. A magnetic compass was used in Sweden in the mid-1600s to find iron ore deposits. The lateral extent of the Comstock ore body was mapped using self-potential methods in the 1880s.
Cost of mineral exploration in small-scale m ining using geophysics techniques to generate a target-oriented low-risk cost-efficient drilling plan. This methodology has been applied and. Essentials of Mineral Exploration and Evaluation offers a thorough overview of methods used in mineral exploration campaigns evaluation reporting and economic assessment processes.
Fully illustrated to cover the state-of-the-art exploration techniques and evaluation of mineral assets. Principles and Applications 2e is a key resource for both academics. Geophysical techniques for achieving hydrocarbon exploration efficiency from beneath the Earth.
Techniques and applications in mineral exploration Applied Geochemistry describes mineral deposits. In exploration geophysics on the other hand geophysical techniques are used to search for hydro-carbon oil and gas mineral gold silver lead zinc Figure 1. The discovery of pegmatites and of gem-bearing pockets in a peg-matite dike is one of the greatest challenges in gem exploration.
These bicol-ored tourmalines from the Himalaya mine San. Geophysical methods used for this purpose include. 1 borehole geophysical logging to characterize ore and rock properties more accurately for improved correlations between drill holes.
Geophysical techniques are effective in diamond exploration. They can in most cases accurately detect and map kimberlite and lamproite pipes whether diatreme or crater fades and may discriminate separate intrusive phases within an intrusion. The most cost-effective geophysical reconnaissance technique has been airborne magnetics.
Seismic is utilised in many applications for subsurface investigations mineral exploration being one of them. Geophysical Methods - Geological Survey Ireland Seismic methods can be also used for mineral exploration since they can provide high-resolution images of geologic structures hosting mineral. Magnetic and radiometric geophysical techniques were considered because of the rapid and cost-effective ways in which data is acquired and they yield substantial quantity of accurate data enhancing interpretation and deduction.
Down hole drill data for 37 HQ size diamond drilled holes of about 9200 m were used for the analysis. Seismic surveys are an extremely useful geophysical method for studying the ground conditions to a significant depth and over a large area. Seismic is utilised in many applications for subsurface investigations mineral exploration being one of them.
Geophysical Methods The physical properties of rocks have been used to devise geophysical methods that are essential in the search for minerals oil and gas.
