Abstract:

To ensure sustainable development of resources, exploration and exploitation of deep underground resources is an important strategic choice for many countries. Whether there are high-quality mineral resources underground is the premise of deep prospecting. While an ideal metallogenic model has great theoretical significance for guiding the construction of prospecting model, establishing a reasonable prospecting model has great practical significance for guiding deep ore prospecting. With the continuing development of modern science and technology, various new technologies have been used in geological research and exploration. Presently, some new techniques such as mineral in-situ U-Pb dating and in-situ compositional and isotopic analyses have played an important role in the study of metallogenic models, guiding researchers with renewed focus to building new metallogenic models; and some geophysical and geochemical exploration techniques also play an important role in model building by providing a more reliable basis for deep ore exploration. The application of modern science and technology such as metallogenic theory, integrated geophysical-geochemical analysis, etc., is the present and future trend in mineral prospecting.

Key words: metallogenic model, prospecting model, mineral microdomain analysis technique, geophysical probing technique, geochemical detection technique
