Gammagamma ray geophysical logging as a tool to aid in the description and geological interpretation. 2 nd Seminar of the Geology of Iron Ore and 1 st of Speleology Jan 2011 75
Over 30 projects in iron ore, gold, Lithium and coal deposits geophysical, geological, geotechnical and petrophysical interpretation. Successfully developed the first dual density production program for the largest iron ore Australian producer, from initial technical design, production implementation to calibration procedures.
ABSTRACT. The present paper shows the results of density measurement tests determined by probing of gamma-gamma geophysical well logging, performed in two stages: one at VALE Geophysical Well Logging Test Facility (GWTF), and another in boreholes for
SUMMARY Slimline geophysical logs are frequently used worldwide in iron ore exploration because they provide key data for ore evaluation. Application can be limited by the fact that many ...
Measurement While Drilling (MWD) and Logging While Drilling (LWD) tools acquire geophysical and operational data from directly behind the bit during drilling operations. This data can be transmitted back to surface to allow real-time geosteering, target confirmation, drilling optimization and geophysical evaluation of the resource …
The mining of stratiform ore deposits requires a means of determining the location of stratigraphic boundaries.A variety of geophysical logs may provide the required data but, in the case of banded iron formation hosted iron ore deposits in the Hamersley Ranges of Western Australia, only one geophysical log type (natural gamma) is …
One of the key components of this process is logging core samples, which provide important information about the mineral content of an ore body. In this article, we will discuss the basics of logging core samples for mineral exploration and the importance of accurate and thorough sample logging.

Imaging iron ore from the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (Brazil) using geophysical inversion and drill hole data ... In this geophysical study, the estimated iron-ore reserves are approximately 3 billion tons. ... The geoelectrical signatures were correlated with the lithologic logs of drillholes, the geophysical well logging and with the typical ...
Borehole Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR or BMR) is an advanced geophysical logging tool available for rent from Mount Sopris in collaboration with NMR Services Australia (NMRSA) . ... NMR can be used to map moisture content, specific yield and dry weight density in iron ore deposits, as well as vadose zone porosity and …
We propose that for iron ore deposits in the Pilbara geophysical downhole logging may provide the necessary and sufficient information about rock formation properties, circumventing any need for ...
Density is the most valuable geophysical logging information and therefore its accuracy is critical for all subsequent geophysical and petrophysical data interpretation. ... Reverse circulation drilling and formation densities above 4 g/cm 3 are regularly seen in the iron ore industry. These high densities when combined with reverse circulation ...
We propose that for iron ore deposits in the Pilbara geophysical downhole logging may provide the necessary and sufficient information about rock formation …
Ground magnetic and electrical resistivity survey were undertaken to investigate the occurrence and geometry of iron ore deposit around Tajimi village, Lokoja, North-Central Nigeria.
Skarn iron deposits are characterized by low-medium resistivity in contact zone, low density of porphyries, high susceptibility and high polarizability of the iron ore. Utilizing the geological and geophysical information, we analyzed ore-controlling factors in different stages, implemented the locating of concealed skarn iron deposits ...
• An assistive tool for modeling subsurface stratigraphy for iron ore deposits. • Machine classification of strata incorporates natural gamma, logging, assays. • A …
Scheme of methodology using iron ore and geophysical data in Australia. The method could be applied to any mineral deposit in association with any geological data. Additionally, different features can be extracted and other classification tools can be used depending on what commodity is being targeted.
A variety of geophysical logs may provide the required data but, in the case of banded iron formation hosted iron ore deposits in the Hamersley Ranges of Western Australia, only one geophysical log type (natural gamma) is collected for this purpose. The information from these logs is currently processed by slow manual interpretation.
Here we will provide various applications of geophysical logs such as the estimation of the strength of intact rock or the unconfined (or uniaxial) compressive strength (UCS), …
The location and measured susceptibility in units of each sample are given in Table 1; the measurements are found to be ranging between 0.00009 for dolomitic rocks and 0.0053 for the manganese-iron ore in CGS units. Geophysical surveys The Mn-Fe ore occurs in a wide area in western Sinai, but only a certain area was selected for the present ...

Exploration geophysics is the applied branch of geophysics which uses surface methods to measure the physical properties of the subsurface Earth, along with the anomalies in these properties, in order to detect or infer the presence and position of ore minerals, hydrocarbons, geothermal reservoirs, groundwater reservoirs, and other …
Aeromagnetic and downhole logging data have been acquired for iron ore deposits at Jimblebar and Shay Gap-Yarrie in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Jimblebar deposits are from the Archaean-Early Proterozoic Hamersley Group and the Shay Gap-Yarrie deposits are from the Archaean Gorge Creek Megasequence. Aeromagnetic data …
Our estimated iron-ore mass agrees reasonably well with the information provided from the lithologic logging data of drill holes. In this geophysical study, the estimated iron-ore reserves are approximately 3 billion tons.
We propose that for iron ore deposits in the Pilbara geophysical downhole logging may provide the necessary and sufficient information about rock formation properties, circumventing any need for real-time elemental analysis entirely.
Geophysical data from the Jimblebar and Shay Gap-Yarrie deposits demonstrate that the aero magnetic and downhole logging techniques have an integral role in exploration for …
At Shay Gap-Yarrie, back-scattered gamma density logging is used downhole to determine the density of iron ore, an important parameter in resource …
In this work, a site test for geophysical well logging calibration was built by Vale S.A. (Brazilian mineral company) and 3 wells of Capanema Mine were selected to show the utility of joint interpretation of core sampling and geophysical well logging in the delimitation of iron ores.

The field data sets were measured along the iron ore bodies of Wadi Abu Subeira and were processed and analyzed by the proper software packages. The areas with iron ore deposits were expressed in the geophysical results by low resistivity, high chargeability, and moderate to high magnetic anomalies.
Here we provide various applications of geophysical logs such as the estimation of the strength of intact rock or unconfined (or uniaxial) compressive strength (UCS), automated lithological/geotechnical interpretation, geophysical strata rating and orebody delineation …
A chemical analysis of some rock samples indicates quantity of Fe 2 O 3 at an average of 25%. This shows significant quantities of iron which confirms presence of iron ore in the area. This confirms presence of extended iron deposits within the region, in addition to the deposits discovered at neighbouring Kimachia.
