Inversão gravimétrica 3D de corpos máficos-ultramáficos portadores de minério de cobre no norte da Bahia

This paper proposes to analyze the application of the gravimetric method in copper ore prospecting in the Valley of Curaçá River in northern Bahia, Brazil. Was generated 3D inverse gravimetric model in order to verify the validity of the method in copper ore mining associated with mafic and ultramafic rocks. The inverse mathematical model was generated through the automatic iterative method with setting limits . Finally , ore levels earned in drill core were faced with vertical profiles of the inverse model in order to verify the applicability and consistency of the gravimetric method in mapping and modeling bodies associated with mineral occurrence.
