Increase of Prospecting Accuracy
The considered systems use sinusoidal resonance signal. However, oil consists of 1,000
substances, therefore in order to reach maximum identification of the sought-for mineral it is
necessary to excite resonance in all types of molecules of the sought-for substance

Name of useful model:
METHOD OF SEARCH FOR
MINERAL DEPOSITS
Formula of useful
model:
1. Method of search for mineral deposits, which includes
processing of an space photograph, which differs due to
the fact that a black-and-white negative is used as an
space photograph which was obtained in an infrared range
of frequencies, and processing of an space photograph is
conducted after a package was preliminary formed which
consists of a negative of space photograph, test wafer and
X-ray film, the formed package is treated with γ-rays, X-
ray film is separated, the latter being chemically processed
and placed in an alternating electric field of high pressure
of a camera of gas-discharge visualisation and visualise
an obtained image on a PC screen.
