The concentration of gold deposits exploration is of interest to mining companies. Gold deposit exploration is carried out using modern technological solutions: remote geological exploration of a specific area allows for precise determination of the location of gold ore deposits, thereby minimizing the financial resources allocated for prospecting and extracting valuable metals.
Searching for Gold Ore Deposits Using Specialized Software
Assessing a gold ore deposit is a specific research task that can only be performed by engineers with specialized expertise. The team's tasks include improving forecasting quality, testing RGE (remote geological exploration) methods to locate gold-bearing ore.
Positive aspects of ore deposit exploration using modern technologies:
- Classification of various landscape communities based on specific parameters;
- Creation of a stream distribution scheme using radar imaging;
- Obtaining composite images of surveyed areas after arithmetic manipulations with spectral channels;
- Creating geological images of areas to establish connections with contemporary geological structures;
- Generating three-dimensional representations of the relief of the surveyed area (in digital form), with future satellite imagery;
- Identification of gradient zones related to geological boundaries, topography, vegetation;
- Delineation of ore bodies (Gold resource assessment).
Identifying prospective ore-bearing areas positively impacts the productivity of mining companies, increases enterprise profitability, and reduces expenses on leased and serviced equipment and machinery. Ready-made projects are available for a rough understanding of the advantages of the technologies used.
Work Conducted by Specialists in Gold Resource Assessment
Gold ore deposit exploration includes the selection of archival materials from satellite imagery, compilation of cartograms, analysis of the interpretation of collected materials, processing of satellite images, formation of a GIS project, and more. The search for a gold ore deposit involves a series of technological stages and represents a significant volume of specialized work.
Modern gold exploration work includes the following activities:
- Preparation of digital models of specific terrain;
- Planning of elevation tie points;
- Elevation tie points;
- Establishment of working coordinate systems;
- Gold ore exploration;
- Identification of ore;
- Identification of control points in space imagery;
- Creation of anaglyphic images of the terrain model;
- Alignment of blocks in space imagery;
- Implementation of orthorectified images.
Sequential ore zone exploration is a responsible task, the outcome of which directly affects the cost of industrial extraction of valuable metals. Multispectral imaging materials with medium spatial resolution are used in the process. With the help of this data, ortho-photoplans are created in the required scale.
What Is Delivered to the Client as a Result of the Research
Accurate exploration of a gold ore deposit helps determine the locations of gold ore with high probability. Engineers compile a space-structural scheme with the positions of linear and basic focal structures marked on it based on the exploration results. The search and exploration of alluvial deposits are significantly simplified and cost-effective due to the data collected during the research. The scheme includes areas of abnormal tonal change. Identifying gold ore zones using the latest technological advancements is a profitable tool for the specialized business.
