Abstract

Due to complexity of geological structures and the earth's surface conditions, application effects of seismic reflection method in metallic ore areas are generally not good. In order to resolve method problems for mineral explorations, a combining exploration technique of the ground seismic tomography and the high-resolution seismic method has been developed. The research results proved that the seismic tomography not only counteracts reflection seismic method's weaknesses in prospecting surface or shallow stratum, but also provides useful velocity information for terrain correction and migration of reflection seismic data, therefore improves processing effects of seismic reflection data. The combining exploration technique can map geological structures and layers from surface to several (even several tens) kilometers deep.
