Study on 3D Visualization Modelling and Metallogenic Mechanism of the Archean Blake River Group, Horne Mine, Québec

Abstract

The 3D visualization technology integrates different data sources to establish a real and reliable geological model. It can not only display, rotate and cut geological objects at will, but also can perform logical operations and information query on geological bodies, providing a strong basis for mineral exploration. In this paper, MapGIS software is used to digitize the mining levelplans of Horne mine at various depths and obtain the grade data of AU and CU at orebody boundaries of each depth and 212864 mining sites. The three-dimensional model and attribute model of Horne mine are established by GOCAD software to analyze the main ore-forming hydrothermal faults and the original hydrothermal vent sites of Horne Mine, and then discuss the ore-forming model of Horne Mine.
