Abstract
The application of geochemical rock core sampling in the search for deeply buried or blind ore deposits is described. Several case histories are given, including: (1) tracing new blind ores below known ore bodies by studying the geometry or morphology of primary halos around the known ore bodies; (2) the discovery of deeply buried ore bodies under heavy transported overburden by utilizing the analytical data of past core samples taken on the deeply buried bedrock surface: (3) predicting the extension of ore bodies by utilizing the geochemical zoning characteristics of the ore elements; and (4) sensing the possible existence of a nearby ore body by utilizing the core analysis data of a single drill hole.
