Abstract:

Seismic reflection prospecting technique has been widely used in exploration of petroleum ,coal and geological engineering,but it is a rare thing in exploration of gold and other kind of metal deposit because of many problems encountered in application Based on a brief introduction of seismic prospecting method and the difference between seismic prospecting for petroleum and that for gold,the key points in every stage which should be pay attention to was presented in applying seism ic exploration in gold deposits and other metal mining area,which include equipment、field work methods and technological process of data proeessing and geologic explanation and so on.Through actual application at Beiya gold deposit in Yunna Province,a perfect result was gotten.This provides US very important geological data for the accurate orientation of concealed deposits.

Key words: shallow seismic exploration, prediction, crooked line, concealedgold deposit
