Application of Hydrocarbons in Concealed Tungsten Ore Prediction in Weijia,Nanling Area

Weijia tungsten ore is located at Xiang Linpu Town, Hunan Province. It is in the Xiang Linpu porphyry groups near the Tong Shanling porphyry. The large skarn type deposit was detected using comprehensive exploration method during the recent exploration activities in China. Being buried deeply in 500mand covered by limestone and thick soil in the surface, it has hardly been indicated by traditional pathfinder elements. It is proved that hydrocarbons promoted the transport and enrichment of elements in the ore forming, so Weijia tungsten ore is taken as a case to study the effect of hydrocarbons to the concealed deposits in coverage area. Acidolysis hydrocarbon of 46rock samples in ZK801and heat release hydrocarbon of 3 soil profiles were analyzed. The results show that the contents of hydrocarbons decrease from porphyry, ore body to wall rock, and the rates of methane, olefins and heavy alkane are different in porphyry, ore body and wall rock. The standard curves shapes of ore are similar to those of the porphyry and wall rock. The soil heat release hydrocarbons show bimodal distribution and low value above the ore body. This study proves that the hydrocarbons are more useful to indicate the concealed mine than the traditional pathfinder elements.
