Use of play analysis in ore deposit forecasting аnd prospecting
Play analysis was developed and is successfully used in oil and gas deposit prospecting. It is recommended for use in ore deposit forecasting and prospecting. Ore plays are deposits, mineral occurrences and prospects of common genesis, they are confined to a single structural and formational complex. Within one play, deposits are prospected and explored using the same technique; discovered deposits have similar technological ore properties. Geological/genetic and technological play uniformity simplifies their forecast assessment.
