Preliminary research on developing the methodology for predicting and estimation of productive sulfide mineralization of the Norilsk type using polarizing-optical and petrophysical methods (on the example of the Talnakh Deposit)

Abstract

The quantity of the mineral composition of ore and parent rocks was carried out. Ore sections from the core samples of two wells of the Talnakh field were used for these studying. Also a number of their physical, mechanical, magnetic and electrical properties were determined. The content of the main ore minerals and useful components in the studied samples were calculated due to comparison of these data of their petrophysical properties. Additionally petrophysical anomalies in the external contact of ore horizons were identified. Using of this methodology may contribute to improving the efficiency of survey and evaluation work on Norilsk type sulfide mineralization.
