Abstract
The unique topography, geomorphology, and climate conditions in Malaysia require research and solutions to a series of problems in mineral exploration, such as the impact of topography, inconvenient transportation, and low work efficiency. It is urgent to establish a fast, economical, effective, and high-precision exploration technology combination for mineral target areas. In response to the geological characteristics of the hydrothermal vein type tungsten tin deposit in Kedah, Malaysia, a combination of soil secondary halo(field XRF analysis), induced polarization scanning, and induced polarization depth measurement exploration techniques is established through the use of lightweight field geophysical power sources, rapid analysis of geochemical elements on-site, and improved induced polarization depth measurement methods. This combination of techniques enables efficient delineation and evaluation of the prospecting target area, delineating four abnormal areas. After drilling verification, the middle section of the ore is consistent with the predicted target area, and preliminary exploration of the deposit has the potential for medium-sized mineral deposits, providing technical support for the exploration and development of hydrothermal vein type mineral resources in Malaysia and achieving efficient prospecting of metal mineral resources in tropical thick coverage areas.
