The samples from PK-4 (the small outlier group) present considerable levels of reactive SiO2 (12.8 …
The method is based on the propagation of artificially-excited seismic waves and analyses of the properties of underground rock formations. However, seismic methods are rarely used in mineral exploration because of the high cost of seismic explorations and the poor seismic geological condition of most mineral deposits.
Shallow seismic methods for the exploration of bauxite ore layers in sedimentary rock area are considered to be highly reliable and accurate geophysical exploration methods. When such methods are adopted, the fluctuation characteristics of the limestone top surfaces can be reflected and the ore bearing favorable areas (buckets) delineated.
