Abstract

Abstract

Deep metal deposits tend to be associated with heterogeneous geological bodies on different scales.Moreover,their orefields mostly lie in areas with complex geological structures,developed faults,and intense lithological changes and have complex surface conditions and structures.As a result,the seismic data of metal deposits frequently originate from complex and variable seismic wave fields suffering the mutual inference of multiple types of waves.Therefore,the seismic data have extremely low signal-to-noise ratios,which severely restricts the seismic interpretation of metal deposits and the prediction of concealed orebodies. With the 2D seismic data of the Chaganhua molybdenum orefield in Inner Mongolia as a case study,this study explored the key techniques for the seismic data processing of deep metal deposits.Specifically,this study analyzed the characteristic of seismic data of the Chaganhua molybdenum deposit and summarized the difficulties with seismic data processing of the metal deposit.Based on these,this study developed a set of processes for the data processing of the Chaganhua molybdenum orefield.The actual processing results agree well with the known orebody distribution in the geological borehole section.To be specific,zones with thick ore bodies generated strong reflected energy,while thinner ore bodies exhibited low-amplitude reflected waves.The results of this study can provide strong support for inferring geological structures and delineating concealed orebodies in the study area.
