Lacunarity Analysis and Mineralized Intensity

Mineralized intensity in drifts or drills can be described by both the proportion and the spatial cluster of the high concentrations. In this paper, the lacunarity is utilized to analyze the mineralized intensity in drifts of the Dayingezhuang gold ore deposit in Jiaodong, Shandong province, China. It shows that the lacunarity index can identify the mineral intensity, providing information for both the ore-forming process and the exploitation.
