Mapping of structural heterogeneities of frozen rock massby method of ground penetrating radar
Development of GPR models favors the perfection of signal processingprocedures and formulation of indicators for interpretation of groundpenetration radar data. The article presents electrodynamic modelingof structural characteristics of the rock mass of the Mayat placer (AlmazyAnabara OAO, Yakut diamond province, Verkhnyaya Kula site). The authorsprove that in the GPR section the areas of geostructural heterogeneitiesof diamond placers are shown as a wave pattern anomaly representedby chaotic distribution of signal line-up. As a result, by data ofground penetrating radar mapping and based on the applicable indicatorsof heterogeneous structures a map was compiled of a placer sitewith zones of deformation structures. Implementation of ground penetrationradar studies along with geological sampling brings an opportunityof optimizing the scope of exploration grid and technology of depositmining by selective extraction of productive sands.
