Geometrization of spatial distribution of harmful and useful elements in the conditions of Zlobytske ilmenite deposit

Abstract

Geometrization of the deposit consists in collecting, systematizing and using statistical methods to analyze and establish relationships between various characteristics of solid minerals. This approach makes it possible to better understand the conditions of extraction and further processing of mineral raw materials by graphical display of information. Aspects such as the location of deposits, their size, shape, structure, composition of minerals and mining and geological conditions of production are considered. The study of the spatial distribution of harmful and useful elements allows a better understanding of geochemical processes occurring in the earth's crust, as well as predicting the quality of ore and determining the possibility of its use for industrial purposes. The main result of the research is the creation of complex models of placers, which help clarify the structure and conditions of deposit formation, identify conventional and low-productivity areas. A relationship between the distribution of ilmenite and the thickness of the ventilation crust was established. As a result, data were provided for determining optimal mining directions and mineralization zones were identified.
