Detecting deep nonferrous metal resources is an important task of mineral exploration in China.Geophysical methods are important means to accomplish this task.Deep nonferrous metal deposits are characterized by deep burial,large disturbance of surrounding area and weak signal.The exploration is difficult and requires advanced exploration technology.Based on a brief review of the characteristics of geophysical prospecting methods and the predecessors’ prospecting technical routes,some typical examples of deep nonferrous metal deposits using different geophysical exploration techniques and methods are introduced and summarized.It is pointed out that for the geophysical exploration of deep nonferrous metal deposits,two or more advanced geophysical exploration methods should be reasonably used to explore the study area comprehensively on the basis of deep understanding of the metallogenic law of the study area,and the necessity of comprehensive data processing and interpretation are emphasized.
