Key role of rock core drilling rig in deep-sea hydrothermal sulfide exploration
Deep-sea hydrothermal sulfides lie deep in oceans, rich in various metal resources. Rock core drilling rig are core tools to uncover their mysteries, playing irreplaceable roles in exploration.
-
Obtain original samples: Rock core drilling rigs can accurately drill hydrothermal sulfide cores. These samples retain original mineral composition and structure, serving as direct basis for analyzing their formation environment and resource content.
-
Determine resource distribution: By drilling in different hydrothermal areas, samples from rigs help map sulfide distribution, identifying resource-rich zones clearly.
-
Explore formation mechanisms: Studying cores reveals the relationship between hydrothermal activity and sulfide formation, offering key clues to understand deep-sea geological processes.
Without rock core drilling rig, humans could hardly gain in-depth knowledge of deep-sea hydrothermal sulfides, let alone their resource development.
