Two prognostic models for copper-polymetallic resources in the Dalaymyao area (Inner Mongolia, People’s Republic of China)

The insufficient knowledge of the Dalaymyao area and the large resource potential of copper-polymetallic ores casts doubt on the adequate assessment of mineral content with the use of traditional research methods. On the basis of investigation of the regional geologic structure and correlation of patterns in mineral resource distribution within the eastern and western flanks of the East-Uzhumujin metallogenic belt (Erlian perspective field), two prognostic models for mineral resources have been made on the basis of geologic anomalies. Target areas for prospects and sampling have been outlined using Morpas 3.0 software.
