The writer would like to stress the importance of the detailed geological mapping on primary porphyry copper or porphyry molybdenum deposits in the inconclusively explored area. It is a useful tool for delineating irregular zones of concentrated mineralization for targets to be checked in the advanced exploration stage and also, for revealing the structural control for the purpose of a more accurate evaluation.
The case of the Ingerbelle deposit is discussed in this paper as an example of timesaving and efficient exploration work for the assessment of areal mineral potential by means of the writer's special mapping technique, as well as the geologically interesting features of the deposit.
