Spread Spectrum Induced Polarization (SSIP) Survey for the Qiushuwan Copper–Molybdenum Deposits in Southern Henan Province, China
The Qiushuwan Cu-Mo deposit, situated in the East Qinling molybdenum belt, is a notable mining site renowned for its considerable quantities of medium-sized molybdenum. The goal of this study is to improve comprehension and identify additional mineral resources by conducting a thorough examination of the mine using the spread spectrum-induced polarization (SSIP) technique. Gathering SSIP data, conducting geological investigations, and examining the electrical characteristics of rock and mineral samples along Profile-80 led to significant discoveries. The investigation identified two significant ore bodies with high conductivity: C2, linked to granite porphyry and molybdenum veins, and C4, associated with a skarn deposit containing a concentrated amount of copper ore. This study used resistivity models created from SSIP data to find out how conductivity changed in different parts of the research area. Additional drill verifications validated these findings, indicating the presence of potential mineral resources. The petrographic analysis of core samples showed that minerals like pyrite, molybdenite, chalcopyrite, epidote, calcite, and garnet were present. Notably, the samples frequently contained both pyrite and molybdenite together. Sample 04-2 contained substantial quantities of molybdenite and pyrite; Sample 05-1 had occasional pyrite; and Sample 07-4 included both pyrite and chalcopyrite. These findings offer useful insights for evaluating the magnitude and economic feasibility of the mineral deposits; however, additional investigation is required to completely comprehend the scope of the resources. The integration of borehole data and the alignment of geological sections with inversion models confirmed the validity of the conclusions. The core samples that were retrieved show a lot of different minerals, including valuable ores and minerals that have been changed. Pyrite and molybdenite are always found together. These findings establish a solid basis for further investigation and the sustainable management of resources. This study contributes to the understanding of the Qiushuwan Cu-Mo deposit and advances exploration techniques using the spread spectrum-induced polarization (SSIP) method. It provides useful information for geologists, mining professionals, and stakeholders involved in resource usage.
