Abstract

Evaluation of three-dimensional ore body modeling has been performed by applying the geostatistical integration technique to multiple geophysical (electrical resistivity, MT) and geological (borehole data, physical properties of core) information. It was available to analyze the resistivity range in borehole and other area through multiple geophysical data. A correlation between resistivity and density from physical properties test of core was also analyzed. In the case study results, the resistivity value of ore body is decreased contrast to increase of the density, which seems to be related to a reason that the ore body (magnetite) includes heavy conductive component (Fe) in itself. Based on the lab test of physical properties in iron mine region, various geophysical, geological and borehole data were used to provide ore body modeling, that is electrical resistivity, MT, physical properties data, borehole data and grade data obtained from borehole data. Of the various geostatistical techniques for the integrated data analysis, in this study, the SGS (sequential Gaussian simulation) method was applied to describe the varying non-homogeneity depending on region through the realization that maintains the mean and variance. With the geostatistical simulation results of geophysical, geological and grade data, the location of residual ore body and ore body which is previously reported was confirmed. In addition, another highly probable region of iron ore bodies was estimated deeper depth in study area through integrated modeling.

복합 물리탐사(전기비저항, MT)와 지질(시추 자료 및 코어 물성)정보에 대해 지구통계학적 복합해석 기법을 적용하여 3차원 광체 모델링 평가를 수행하였다. 우선, 복합 물리탐사를 통해 시추공 및 그 외의 전체적인 지역에 대한 비저항대 분포를 파악할 수 있었으며, 코어 물성 시험을 통해 연구지역의 자철석(광체)이 코어 내부의 밀도가 높은 전도성 성분(Fe)에 의해 밀도의 증가에 따라 비저항이 감소하는 상관관계를 나타냄을 파악하였다. 3차원 광체 모델링을 수행하기 위해 사용된 자료는 전기비저항 탐사, MT 탐사, 물성 자료와 시추 자료 등이며, 전체 획득 자료 및 시추 자료에서 추출한 광체의 품위 자료를 이용하였다. 본 연구에서는 자료의 복합 해석을 위해 지구통계학적 기법 중에서, 부족한 실제 측정 자료의 평균 및 분산을 잘 재생시키는 실현 값을 통해 지역적으로 변화하는 불균질성을 잘 묘사하는 순차 가우시안 시뮬레이션(sequential Gaussian simulation)을 사용하였다. 획득된 전체 자료와 품위 자료만을 이용하여 도출한 시뮬레이션 결과, 광체가 기존에 연구되어 존재하는 잔광체의 일정 부분에서 유사한 분포를 나타냈으며, 추가적으로 하부 깊은 심도에 대해 광체의 분포 양상을 추정할 수 있었다.
