A review of the use of geophysics in base- and precious-metal explorationFurnell, R G January 1981 (has links)
The object of geophysical surveys in mineral exploration has traditionally been to detect subsurface geological features, which may reflect the presence of mineralization in depth and, if possible, to measure the dimensions of the causative body. Geophysical methods may also be used to locate extensions to known mineralization and for determining the size, depth and internal characteristics of an orebody. Marked improvements in geological concepts of ore genesis have led to a better appreciation, amongst geologists, of mineralized environments, and this has had an effect on the use of geophysics in recent years. Geophysical surveys are being increasingly used as an aid in environmental reconstructions and the results of regional surveys may be used to provide an indirect guide to ore. One of the main applications of geophysics lies in areas where the orebodies and associated structures are not exposed, as most geophysical measurements are more expensive than surface geological or geochemical surveys.

Interpretation of aeromagnetic data from the Kuruman Military Area, Northern Cape, South Africa - through the use of structural index independent methods: a description of three depth and structural index inversion techniques for application to potential field dataWhitehead, Robert January 2016 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2015 / Three new methods for determining the structural index and source distance for magnetic field data are presented. These methods require only the calculation of the first and second order analytic signal amplitudes of the total field and are applicable to both profile and gridded data. The three methods are first tested on synthetic data and then on two real datasets to test for applicability and repeatability. It was found that each method had different strengths and weaknesses and thus one method cannot be favoured over the others. Cooper (2014) describes how to calculate the distance to source over both profile and gridded data given a user defined structural index. Often however, particularly in the case of real data, the structural index is not known or varies over the surveyed area. These three new methods however do not require any user input since the structural index is calculated thus making them more applicable to regions of unknown geology. It was found that the first of the three new methods, the multi-distance inversion method, was best used as an edge-detection filter, since the use of higher order derivatives resulted in increased noise levels in the distance to source calculation. The third of these new methods, the unconstrained inversion method, discussed in Chapter 7, not only solves for the structural index but also determines the depth of the source. In that particular case, the structural index is used as a rejection filter, whereby, depth solutions associated with structural index values outside of the expected range are deemed to be invalid. Unlike the third new method, the first two methods require the distance to source to be calculated via the approach described by Cooper (2014) (which requires the user to define the structural index), the results of which are later rescaled by the calculated structural index to yield what is termed a rescaled distance to source. All three of the new methods are fully automatic and require no user control.
The techniques were first tested on both profile and gridded theoretical data over sources with known structural index values. All of the methods were able to estimate the structural index of each of the particular sources and give depth estimates that varied from the true depth by less than 20 percent (with deeper sources being more inaccurate). Noise was also added to the theoretical data in an attempt to assess how the methods can be expected to perform with real data. It was found that when applied to noisy data, these methods performed equally well to slightly worse, than when the method developed by Cooper (2014) was used.
As a real world case study these three new methods were tested on aeromagnetic data collected over the Kuruman Military Area, Northern Cape, South Africa. Regional deformations as well as later intrusive dykes and cross cutting faults were imaged by the chosen depth determination procedures. The dolerite dykes in the area were found to occur between 20 to 60 m deep. While the sand cover was estimated to be between 30 to 40 m thick. Overall, the techniques yield distance to source estimates that differ by less than 15 m, over sources, to the results obtained by using the source distance method (Cooper, 2014). To test for repeatability a second aeromagnetic dataset, collected over a dyke swarm within the Bushveld Complex, South Africa was considered. Again comparable (less than 15 m over sources) depth estimates were made between the unconstrained and constrained inversions. Since the distance to source estimates produced by these new unconstrained inversion methods are comparable to those produced by constrained inversion (Cooper, 2014) the project can be deemed successful.

Target selection from airborne magnetic and radiometric data in Steinhausen area, NamibiaNaudé, Corus 09 November 2012 (has links)
The eastern branch of the late Proterozoic Damara Orogenic Belt of central Namibia hosts various copper, gold, manganese and uranium deposits, but in the vicinity of Steinhausen, approximately 145 km northeast of Windhoek, the Damara Belt becomes increasingly covered by recent Kalahari cover sediments resulting in little known geology and subsequent lack of discovered economic mineral deposits. Airborne magnetic and radiometric data over the Steinhausen Study Area was enhanced through image processing and filtering to accentuate characteristics of subsurface geology that, by comparing these characteristics to known geology, aided in the interpretive mapping of lithology, structure and targets for follow-up exploration. As a result, some important observations regarding the regional lithology can be drawn. An arenaceous stratigraphic unit that includes a coarse grained, glassy quartzite below the Kuiseb Formation equates to either the eastern Damaran equivalent of the Nosib Group subjected to high grade metamorphism or, alternatively, the upper part of the pre-Damaran sequence, immediately underlying the Damara. The Kuiseb Formation within the study area is uncharacteristically varied as compared to the same formation further west along the Damaran Orogen and can be subdivided into 5 separate units based on geophysical signature. Structural features evident within the study area include the prominent Kudu and Okahandja Lineaments and straddle an area of inferred uplifted stratigraphy of possibly pre-Damara age. The Ekuja Dome (Kibaran age and host to the Omitiomire copper deposit) is also clearly discernible on the airborne magnetic data and is cross-cut by an east-northeast structural zone. Direct targets for follow-up exploration include the Rodenbeck intrusion, anomalous magnetic bodies and numerous radiometric anomalies present within the study area. Identified dome-like features are considered prospective for Omitiomire-style deposits and the Okatjuru Layered Complex is considered a possible source of copper, chromite, magnetite, ilmenite, nickel and the platinum group elements.

The Bedrock Geology of the Southwest Part of the Kachess Lake Quadrangle, WashingtonLofgren, David Carl 10 June 1973 (has links)
The southwestern part of the Kachess Lake quadrangle lies between Lakes Cle Elum and Kachess, on the east flank of the central Cascade Range of Washington. The region lies between the North and South Cascade petrologic provinces, and includes rocks typical of each. Pre-Tertiary Easton Schist (called the Shuksan Suite farther north), and the Late Cretaceous-Paleocene Swauk Formation occur widely in the North Cascades, while the Tertiary Silver Pass Volcanics and Teanaway Basalt are typical of South Cascade volcanic sequences. Diabasic dikes of the Teanaway dike swarm occur throughout the vicinity.
The area is bounded on the west by a major fault, the Kachess, and bot.h folding and faulting have occurred in the area proper. Folding is represented by southeast plunging Thorp Mountain anticline; to the north, and Domerie Creek syncline to the south. Several faults have been recognized, the most important being northwest-southeast trending Thomas Mountain fault, which diagonally bisects t.he folds and complicates stratigraphic relationships.
The region has been geologically active during most of its history. Eugeosynclinal rocks were metamorphosed to blueschists and greenschists during a late Paleozoic-early Mesozoic orogeny, and folding, faulting, and unconformable relationships involving Tertiary strata indicate continued diastrophism during the Cenozoic.

Elemental analysis of some geological samples using neutron activation techniqueAsres Yihunie Hibstie 09 May 2013 (has links)
This study describes the technique and procedures used for the simultaneous determination
of elements involved in Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis, applied
to some geological samples as a sensitive and non-destructive tool. Using Isotopic
Neutron Source, the delayed gamma-rays emitted due to neutron capture have been
applied for the investigation of the elemental constituents and concentrations of major,
minor and trace elements in such samples.
The experimental investigations were carried out at the scale of researcher's practices
at the chosen site by measuring soil/rock nutrient contents from hydrologically
isolated farmland/site plots. Using detailed sampling procedures with special precautions,
against contaminations, to yield meaningful results, soil/rock samples have
been collected from selected areas of East Gojjam, pulverized, homogenized and prepared
for irradiation.
The samples were properly prepared together with known standards of potassium iodide
or cupric sulphate or arsenic trioxide (one /or both at a time), and simultaneously
irradiated in to isotopic neutron
ux in the same irradiation position. After activation,
the samples were subjected to gamma-ray spectrometry, using a high-purity germanium
detection system and computerized multichannel analyzer. The gamma-ray
spectra from the irradiated samples were measured by high resolution gamma-ray
spectrometry with a calibrated germanium detector. Both qualitative and quantitative
approach to data collection and analysis were used in order to gain insight into what should be acceptable to the community.
The results obtained have a practical interest in view of possible applications to the
technology of extraction and exploration of a variety of industrial, metallic, cement
minerals, and geothermal energy and coal deposits. These results tend to agree with
the lowest values reported in the literature, and the analytical precision is su cient
for the determination of the standard deviation of the distribution of all elements in
East Gojjam and these results were brie
y discussed within the text of this research
work.
In carrying out the analysis, the best and most convenient method being the Instrumental
and /non-destructive Neutron Activation Analysis was adopted, and NAA
has matured and attained analytical competence providing not only rapid, quantitative,
qualitative, simultaneous, multielement analysis but also crucial validation
support to programmes using di erent analytical techniques. This method of analysis
is generally multi-element and experimental conditions can be designed to be
nondestructive to the sample, and it plays a leading role among analytical techniques
in the eld of environmental research related to human, animal and plant
health.
Studies of di erent radionuclide and trace elements in the environmental samples are
very important for health physics, research and education. Many forms of elements
are possible in environmental samples which may be hazardous for human being, animals
and also plants. Most of them have the potential for both benefcial and harmful
effects / Environmental Sciences / D. Phil. (Environmental Science)
