METHOD FOR SEARCH AND EXPLORATION OF MINERAL DEPOSITS AND SUBSURFACE WATER Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G01V9/00 

FIELD: physics, measurement.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to the field of search and exploration of mineral deposits and subsurface water. Geomorphological and geological features of territory Earth crust are analysed, detecting the sections that are perspective in respect to availability of minerals and subsurface water. Availability of section with lowered relief with considerable sedimentary deposits indicates possible presence of deposits of hydrocarbons, minerals of sedimentary origin and subsurface water. Availability of section with complex geomorphological and geological properties, which includes elevated relief, gaps, shifts, laccoliths, which neighbors section with lowered relief with considerable sedimentary deposits, indicates possible presence in the first section of the following components: deposits of metals, granite, gabbro, marble, limestones, hydrocarbons, minerals of sedimentary, magmatic and metamorphic origin, subsurface waters. Availability of at least two sections with lowered relief with considerable sedimentary deposits indicates possible presence of hydrocarbon deposits, minerals of sedimentary origin and subsurface water. Availability of section with complex geomorphological and geological properties, which includes elevated relief, gaps, shifts, laccoliths, which is adjacent to at least two sections with lowered relief with considerable sedimentary deposits, indicates possible presence in the first section of the following components: deposits of diamonds, metals, granite, gabbro, marble, limestones, hydrocarbons, minerals of sedimentary, magmatic and metamorphic origin, subsurface water. After detection of perspective sections geological survey is carried out, as well as searching and exploration of this territory.

EFFECT: higher accuracy, ecological compatibility and efficiency.
