Abstract
The Heilongjiang Jianbiannongchang area is located at the confluence of the Great and Lesser ** ore-producing anomalies. (3) Furthermore, the composite anomaly decomposition of PC1 and PC2 was performed using the S-A method, and the screened anomalous and background fields reflect the ore-producing anomalies related to Cu and Au mineralization. This information is in agreement with known Cu and Au mineralization. (4) The geochemical anomalies with mineralization potential were obtained outside the known mineralization sites by integrating the information of ore-producing anomalies extracted by the local singularity and S-A methods, providing the theoretical basis and exploration direction for future exploration in the study area.
