Abstract

Summary

Conventional empirical relationships generally do not hold for high-density ores. Seismic parameter, density, and bulk modulus plotted in a 3D space creates a new framework for visualizing and interpreting datasets. The advantage of using a three-parameter configuration is the data from all types of rock materials falls onto a plane. This new framework can be used for trend analysis of various materials such as common silicates, iron-oxides, and massive sulphides and provide a link for extracting dynamic elastic parameters and aid in rock characterization.
