Heap leaching in gold mines is an important mineral-processing method. However, it involves higher requirements of the integrity and stability of the site strata because it can cause great harm to the environment. In particular, hidden faults and fault-zone structures in the site strata are important factors causing pollutant leakage and damage to the environment. Hence, engineering drilling is generally used to identify hidden faults and fault zones to intuitively reveal the underground information in a limited depth range; the disadvantage is the high cost and low efficiency of this method. In this study, comprehensive geophysical exploration methods were adopted to analyze the geophysical characteristics of the hidden faults and fault zones to obtain considerable underground information efficiently to evaluate the exploration site. Methods such as the electrical resistivity tomography, shallow seismic reflection method, magnetic method, and vertical electric sounding method have been used for the heap-leaching site exploration of Alxa Zhula Gold Mine to identify the location, occurrence, and morphological characteristics. Based on borehole and geological data, the possibility of disaster for the defective geological structure in the heap-leaching field of a gold mine was evaluated, and a geological structure model was established in this study. Thus, the results represent an important example of environmental geophysical exploration.

金矿中的堆浸是一种重要的矿物加工方法。但是，它对场地地层的完整性和稳定性提出了更高的要求，因为它可能对环境造成极大伤害。特别是，地层中隐藏的断层和断层带结构是导致污染物泄漏和对环境造成破坏的重要因素。因此，工程钻探通常用于识别隐藏的断层和断层带，以直观地揭示有限深度范围内的地下信息。缺点是该方法成本高，效率低。在这项研究中，采用了综合的地球物理勘探方法来分析隐伏断层和断裂带的地球物理特征，从而有效地获得大量的地下信息，以评估勘探地点。电阻层析层析法，浅层地震反射法，磁法和垂直电测深法等方法已用于阿拉善朱拉金矿的堆浸现场勘查中，以识别其位置，发生和形态特征。根据钻孔和地质资料，对某金矿堆浸场中不良地质构造造成灾害的可能性进行了评估，并建立了地质构造模型。因此，结果代表了环境地球物理勘探的重要例子。的发生和形态特征。根据钻孔和地质资料，对某金矿堆浸场中不良地质构造造成灾害的可能性进行了评估，并建立了地质构造模型。因此，结果代表了环境地球物理勘探的重要例子。的发生和形态特征。根据钻孔和地质资料，对某金矿堆浸场中不良地质构造造成灾害的可能性进行了评估，并建立了地质构造模型。因此，结果代表了环境地球物理勘探的重要例子。
