| 520 | 3 | |a Gravity exploration, an Earth science method leveraging gravitational field variations due to density differences in geological structures, is a pivotal tool for subterranean investigation due to its cost-effectiveness and efficient data acquisition. This study focuses on potash, a vital agricultural resource, which forms low-density geological deposits manifesting gravitational anomalies. The research delineates favorable regions for potash enrichment within an exploration zone in Laos, utilizing gravity data, geological information, drilling records, and insights into mineralization mechanisms. The study employed analytic continuation, residual anomaly calculation, and vertical derivative analysis to interpret anomalies and identify low-density potash targets. Apparent density calculations revealed significant variations at different depths. Fault identification using integrated methods identified 16 fault lines, predominantly north–south and northeast oriented. Primary potash targets are in the northeastern and northwestern parts, with secondary targets in the central-western and southeast regions. The study acknowledges limitations such as potential field ambiguity, restricted resolution, and scarce geological data. It recommends integrating other geophysical methods, denser exploration grids, and prompt drilling for verification to refine interpretations and improve understanding, laying a solid foundation for future exploration. | |
