    Abstract:

    Mier deposit is an important rare and precious metal production area in the Kerkbet mining area. Partial exploration work has been carried out in this area to further support the development of mining resources. Through geological surveys and geophysical and chemical analyses, the geological characteristics and prospecting indicators of the area have been clarified. Research has shown that the Mier deposit is controlled by the main fault F12, and its main mineral deposits are located in the ore controlling structural fracture zones of F12-1, F12-2, and F12-3. The overall orientation of the ore body is around 85 °∠ 75 °, with a depth of over 350m. The host rock is mainly quartz sericite schist, and the mineralization related changes mainly include limonitization alteration zones, weathering alteration leaching limonitization red soil layers, magnetite mineralization, pyrite mineralization, brass mineralization, etc. The mineralized zone of the ore body has obvious induced polarization characteristics, and the VTEM (airborne electromagnetic method) and remote sensing analysis methods can be used to determine the ore bearing range and depth direction. The degree of metal element enrichment can also be determined through chemical methods, clarifying the target area for mineral exploration and providing specific directions and scientific guidance for the next exploration work.
