A gravity survey is conducted over a highly compact ore deposit (spherical shape). Bouguer anomaly values reduced along a profile are given below.

52) What is the depth to the center of the ore deposit?
A) 3100 m B) 1820 m C) 1560 m D) 1450 m
Solution:
Depth to the center of the ore body (spherical) calculated using Full-width method
For spherical body Z= 0.65 x1/2
gmax= 5.00 mGal at X=3200
gmax/2 =5/2 =2.5 mGal at 2000 m
Full width (X1/2) = 4400-2000 m
= 2400 m

52) What is the depth to the center of the ore deposit?
A) 3100 m B) 1820 m C) 1560 m D) 1450 m
Solution:
Depth to the center of the ore body (spherical) calculated using Full-width method
For spherical body Z= 0.65 x1/2
gmax= 5.00 mGal at X=3200
gmax/2 =5/2 =2.5 mGal at 2000 m
Full width (X1/2) = 4400-2000 m
= 2400 m
Therefore,
Depth to the center Z= 0.652 * X1/2
=
0.652 * 2400
=
1563.8 m

What is the excess mass (in metric tons ) by the deposit
A)
1.615 * 108 B) 2.165* 108 C) 1.312* 108
D) 1.825* 108
Solution:
Formula:
gmax=
(G* M) /Z2
---------------(1)
M=
(gmax*
Z2)
/ G --------------(2)
gmax=
5 mGal = 5*10-5
m/s2
G=6.67*10-11
N m2/kg2
substitute
above values in eq (2)
M=(
( 5* 10-5)
*( 1560)2)
/ (6.67*10-11)
M=
(1216800 * 1011-5)
/ 6.67
M=
1.824287 * 1012
M=
1.824287 * 109
