This paper is the result of mineral exploration engineering.
Beiya supergiant deposit (explored Au: 151.28 t, Cu: 0.2217 Mt)located in the large-scale Jinsha river-Red river tectonic-magma-metallogenic belt, which is the typical porphyry Au polymetallic deposit in the southeastern margin area of Sanjiang -Tethys metallogenic domain. For the past few years, the shallow geological structure and resources of the deposit have been preliminarily revealed. However, its deep geological structure, deep ore-controlling structure and deep ore prospecting potential are still unclear, which restricts the prospecting and discovery of deep orebody.
In this paper, the shallow spatial geological body at 1000 m of Wandongshan ore block of the Beiya gold polymetallic deposit is taken as the research object. We choosing the "block modeling method" and the "double-sided method" to establish 3 D visualization of Wandongshan ore block and orebody model of Au deposit by using the SKUA-GOCAD platform. Further, Kriging interpolation was employed to acquire grade distribution model of Au based on analytical of spatial variation distribution characteristics and analog variogram.
In the light of grade distribution model and orebody model, 246 t gold resource was assessed. Meanwhile, a dominant Au-enrichment belt was revealed along the 40° direction of Wandongshan ore block.
Compared with the "slice method", the "double-sided method" can quickly and accurately establishes the three-dimensional model of the ore body. It is believed that the NE trending (40°) gold-grade preponderant enrichment zone is manifested in the shallow part of the hidden deep and large fault, which demonstrate Au is not only enrichment in the contact-alteration zone between intrusion and carbonate, but also concentrated in buried fracture at a certain distance from the intrusion, which is a favorable spots for future deep ore prospecting.
