Abstract:

Based on the similarity-analogy theory of concealed orebody prediction, a method of spatial location correlation analysis and prediction is designed and developed. By analyzing the published spatial distribution data of mineral resources, correlation of known mineral occurrences is performed to analyze and predict the concealed orebodies. Taking some areas of Western China as an example, the Apriori algorithm is used to analyze the relationship between the spatial location of known mineral occurrences, and the relationship between the symbiosis and mineral association in that area. Consequently, prediction is made on the locations of concealed orebodies. Effectiveness and feasibility of this method are proven by comparing with the existing results. Visualization tools, such as GoogleEarth, are used to show the predicted results, and to make a better comparative study. This project has newly designed and developed a method based on spatial location correlation analysis and prediction.

Key words: mineral prediction, web crawl, association analysis, Apriori algorithm
