Abstract

A new powerful tool, chaotic theory, has been used to study mineralization through chaotic analysis for space series of gold grade in this paper. Both of the most important chaotic measures, Largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) and fractal dimensional, for space series of gold grade in one gold deposit are computed. The positive LLE suggests that the space series of gold grade are chaotic series. When the phase space dimension approach 8~10, a chaotic attractor appears and their fractal dimension values vary from 1.94 to 3.99. It indicates that the evolution of ore-forming fluid and the enrichment and deposition of gold element are chaotic dynamic process.
